01Greenhouse Site Selection
This domain tests whether you can judge a site before money is spent on structure. The exam looks for practical screening of soil, water, climate, topography, services and market access, not a memorised list.
320 words, about 2 min02Orientation and Structural Design
This domain tests how greenhouse orientation and frame design affect light, ventilation and crop load. Questions often ask you to choose an orientation or identify a structural weakness.
317 words, about 2 min03Greenhouse Cladding Materials
This domain tests material selection for light transmission, durability, insulation and cost. You must compare polyethylene film, polycarbonate sheets, glass and shade nets without treating any one as universally best.
295 words, about 1 min04Glazing and Covering Systems
This domain tests how the cover is fixed, sealed, ventilated and protected with screens. It is about the system around the glazing, not just the plastic or sheet itself.
274 words, about 1 min05Environmental Control: Temperature, Humidity and Ventilation

243 words, about 1 min09Protected Cultivation of Horticultural Crops
