Features/Equipment

Growers can use a range of control strategies to reduce temperatures and humidity levels, including increasing air exchange (ventilation), reducing incoming radiation (glazing materials and shading), using air conditioning (evaporative cooling) and producing plants that are tolerant of higher temperatures. It is important to properly service the equipment used to maintain optimum growing conditions inside your greenhouse during the warmer part of the year.
