Why Greenhouses for BSF Farming

Greenhouses provide optimum conditions for BSF insects to survive and grow. The larvae require a controlled environment with a temperature range of 25-33 degrees Celsius. This

Providing optimal conditions reduces the duration of maturity of the BSF larvae to 3 weeks.

Greenhouses also offer a wide enclosed space that can hold as many racks as possible for rearing BSF larvae.

They protect the BSF larvae from harsh wind and rain thus making them healthy and viable.

Setting up a greenhouse structure requires consideration of factors such as light, ventilation, and temperature of the environment. For a very hot area, ventilation needs to be increased.
