Greenhouse heating systems in the economic approach. Greenhouse production enables to get agricultural crop outside the normal vegetation period with higher yield in comparison to open fi eld production, by controlling environmental factors such as temperature, light and relative moisture. Among these factors, temperature has very important effects on plant growth. Temperature controls many physiological activities in plant life as well as affects the soil as plant life environment. Maintaining temperature at desired level in greenhouse by using suitable systems is needed for modern production. But the share of heating in total greenhouse production cost is very high and it can go up to 60 percent. Due to that, it is very important to reduce heating cost for a profi table greenhouse production by using renewable energy resources and providing energy conservation. In this study, factors affecting greenhouse heating cost and the ways of decreasing cost were examined.
