The "psychrometric diagram" of humid air is a tool to facilitate the representation of air transformations. [...] The basic concept is that there is a relationship between temperature and saturation humidity
Some UV radiation can interfere with growth, development, photosynthesis, flowering, pollination and transpiration...
The concept of positive pressure ventilation consists of mechanically injecting fresh air from outside to inside the greenhouse into the growing area. Positive pressure ventilation allows for maximum exclusion of insects and uniformity of...
Vanilla is one of the most expensive spice in the world. It is highly used for the perfumery and the food industry, in fact, for both usages the vanillin content is the main target at the end of the extraction process. Indeed, the concentration...
Fogging system is an essential equipment in the greenhouse industry. The major advantage of the high pressure fogging is to flash evaporating billions of tiny water particles [...] It is more efficient than a low-pressure fogging to decrease...
Today, companies are working on photoluminescent films to cover the greenhouse roof and claddings. The new film has a pink color with new technical proprieties... These films are specially designed to modify and optimize the light spectrum
The Daily Light Integral (DLI) is is the amount of PAR received each day as a function of light intensity (instantaneous light: μmol·m -2 ·s -1 ) and duration (day). It is expressed as moles of light (mol) per square meter (m -2 ) per day (d -1...
An efficient combination of passive and active ventilation is one of the most important point of greenhouse design and operation management. The ventilation inside a greenhouse is not only the opening of the vents (roof / sides) but a complex...
The algae development in hydroponic system for example is a major problem for the growers. It can affect the irrigation network and equipment (filter, pump, pipes) also the plant growth. Moreover, the fungus and bacteria expand in the algae...
