Kwimveliso yezolimo kunye nolawulo lwendawo yangaphandle, iminatha yomthunzi, njengento yokugubungela i-lightweight, iba sisixhobo esiyimfuneko ngenxa yemisebenzi yabo ekhethekileyo yokulawula. Ngokulawula ngokwenzululwazi ubukhulu bokukhanya, ubushushu, kunye nokufuma, badala imeko-bume efanelekileyo ngakumbi yokukhula kwesityalo, ngelixa besandisa imida yokusetyenziswa kokutyala emasimini, indawo yokulima izitiya, kunye neemeko zangaphandle.
Umgaqo ongundoqo weminatha yomthunzi ulele ekuthinteleni okukhethiweyo kwemitha yelanga. Ubukhulu becala zenziwe nge polyethylene ephezulu - yoxinaniso (HDPE) okanye i linear low - ingxinano yepolyethylene (LLDPE), elukiweyo kwisakhiwo somnatha. Ngokulawula ukuxinana komnatha kunye nombala (okuqhelekileyo kumnyama, isilivere{4}}ngwevu, eluhlaza, njl.njl.), izinga lomthunzi lingalungelelaniswa ngokuchanekileyo{6}ukususela kwi-30% ukuya kwi-90%{9}}ukuhlangabezana neemfuno ezahlukeneyo zezityalo. Umzekelo, imifuno enamagqabi ifuna umbala ophezulu ukuphungula ukugqama, ngelixa ukukhanya{11}}imifuno ethanda iziqhamo kunye nemifuno idinga ukugquma okuphakathi ukunqanda ukutshisa. Ukukhanya okuguquguqukayo kunye namandla okulawula ubushushu kwenza iminatha yomthunzi ibe "buffer" ngokuchasene neemeko zemozulu ezinzima (ezifana nokukhanya kwelanga okunamandla kunye nobushushu obuphezulu), ngakumbi ekulinyweni kwe-greenhouse yasehlotyeni, apho banokunciphisa ngokufanelekileyo iqondo lokushisa ngaphakathi kwe-greenhouse nge-3 - 8℃, ukunciphisa umngcipheko wokunciphisa isivuno ngenxa yoxinzelelo oluphezulu lobushushu.
Ngaphaya komthunzi osisiseko, -umsebenzi omninzi weminatha yomthunzi uya uvelela. Okokuqala, zigcina ukufuma kunye namaqondo obushushu asezantsi: i-mesh structure inciphisa ukufuma komhlaba, kwaye idityaniswe noyilo lokungenisa umoya, ilinganisa ukufuma komoya, ukunciphisa iingxaki zokoma kwimimandla eyomileyo okanye ngaphakathi kwezixhobo. Okwesibini, babonelela ngokhuseleko lwentlekele: kwiindawo ezithandwa yimvula enkulu kunye nesichotho, iminatha yomthunzi inokukhubaza impembelelo yamathontsi emvula, inciphisa ukuba nokwenzeka komonakalo womatshini kwizityalo. Okwesithathu, ziyakwazi ukuziqhelanisa nendalo: eminye iminatha yomthunzi-enemibala ekhanyayo (efana nesilivere-engwevu) ikwanazo iimpawu zokubonisa kunye nokufudumala, ezinokunceda ukunyusa amaqondo obushushu aphantsi ebusika, ukuphumeza "usetyenziso olubini kwinto enye" ukuziqhelanisa nexesha lonyaka.
Ngoku, ngesantya esikhawulezileyo sokuchaneka kwezolimo kunye nophuhliso olusekwe kwisibonelelo{{0}, ukusetyenziswa kweminatha yomthunzi kwandisiwe ukusuka ekutyalweni kwamasimi{1}}aqhelekileyo ukuya kwizindlu zokukhulisela izityalo, iziseko zezithole, izitiya zeentyatyambo, kunye neeshedi zeaquaculture. Ikhaphukhaphu, ilula{3}}ukuyifakela{4}}, iyahlala, kunye neempawu zayo ezinokuphinda zisetyenziswe zilungelelaniswa ngokugqibeleleyo neemfuno zophuhliso lwezolimo oluluhlaza. Kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuba ukukhetha ngokufanelekileyo izinga lomthunzi kunye nexesha lokusetyenziswa (ngokuqhelekileyo iminyaka emi-2-4) kubalulekile ekuqinisekiseni impumelelo, efuna ukuqwalaselwa ngokubanzi kweentlobo zezityalo, imozulu yengingqi, kunye nendlela yokugquma.
Njengo "flexible interface" edibanisa imozulu yendalo kunye nokusingqongileyo okwenziweyo, inethi yomthunzi ixhobisa ezolimo ngetekhnoloji, ingaphuculi kuphela ukulawulwa kwemveliso kodwa iqhuba inguqu yemodeli yokutyala ijolise ekusebenzeni okuphezulu kunye nozinzo lwendalo, ibe ngumqobo oyimfuneko oluhlaza kwiinkqubo zezolimo zanamhlanje.
