Research exploring greenhouse environment control over the last 50 years has led to significant advancements in understanding the effects of environmental factors on plant growth and productivity. This article provides a comprehensive review of the research conducted over the last 50 years, including the methodology, results, and implications for the future of greenhouse agriculture. The studies involve monitoring and controlling various environmental factors in a greenhouse or growth chamber to create optimal growing conditions for plants. The results indicate that optimal growing conditions vary depending on the plant species and growth stage. Continued research in this area is necessary to address the challenges of climate change and food security and to promote sustainable agriculture.
