Greenhouse Dill Cultivation

Anethum graveolens L.

Growing dill in a protected environment requires strict control of microclimate and lighting to maintain the aromatic properties and growth rates of this long-day plant.

In the reference 13 varieties crop Dill, where this is mentioned in the description.

The optimal temperature regime for this crop in greenhouses is 18–20°C on sunny days, 17°C on cloudy days, and 12–14°C at night. Since dill is a long-day plant, artificial lighting is necessary during the winter period to reach 14–16 hours per day, as a lack of light combined with high humidity reduces the accumulation of essential oils.

In greenhouse conditions, dill is often used as a companion crop for main vegetable species, placed along aisles or wall boundaries. Both row and broadcast sowing schemes are used with a seeding rate of 15–30 g/m². When proper agrotechnical practices are followed, bush-type varieties can reach a height of 2.5–3 meters, providing produce within a short growing season of 40–50 days.
