LS Climate Control | ...BUT YOU STILL HAVE 3 PROBLEMS

There are nutrient deficiency and quality problems due to low transpiration. At the same time, it can cause condensation on the crop and fungal diseases.

Too low humidity:

The plants grow stocky in an attempt to lower transpiration. This lowers the return and quality of the crop.

TEMPERATURE

Too high temperature:

Too much sunlight heats the greenhouse and the crop to undesirable levels. For most crops, the photosynthesis process slows down at temperatures higher than 30oC. At higher temperatures a big fraction of carbohydrates is spent for maintenance, leaving little or no carbohydrates for plant tissue formation.

Too low temperature:

When the outdoor temperature is too low, plant growth, fruit and flower formation slow down. The temperature in the greenhouse can decrease rapidly, particularly in clear nights or by heavy winds, rain and snow. In most cases, the greenhouse is heated, resulting in high energy costs.
