Chinese Installation Horticulture in Developing

This paper reviews the long history of the development of the Chinese installtion horticulture. Early in two thousand years ago, in Han Dynastry there was greenhouse vegetable culture. In Nan Song Dynastry, there was preliminarily formed the technology of the environmental engineering of installtion horticulture. Since the foundation of the People's Republic of China, the installtion horticulture has been developing rapidly. Until the end of 1980s, the productive system with main plastic film shed combined with the wind-break bed, ground film cover bed and greenhouse has been set up. Its characteristics are to suit to local conditions, consume less energy, save investment and form a comprehensive set.The installtion horticulture research, and its academic cativities are brick, The researchs in factory nursery, greenhouse structure, highyield culture technology and controlling the environment with microcomputer have been developed and have got results. A lot of articles were published. The Committee of Installtion Horticulture Environmental Engineering of the Chinese Agricultural Engineering Society organized several acadamic exchanges, forums and investigations. Otherwise, the teaching of installtion horticuture science has been developed, too. Some colleges have set up "the Speciality of Agricultural Building and Environmental Engineering", and the course of installtion horticulture and run various short study classes so as to train many technicias.
