Humidity Control for Horticulture & Plant Growing
Relative humidity plays a vital role in the health, growth rate, and quality of plants, and dry fog humidification offers a wide range of benefits for the horticultural industry. Too little humidity causes excessive transpiration, leaf curl, wilting, and reduced crop yields, while inconsistent humidity levels throughout a growing facility can result in uneven growth and poor product quality.
In seed propagation, dry fog humidification will increase the humidity level of the germination room towards the 100% limit without causing excessive wetting of the product. As germination chambers tend to be virtually sealed and retain moisture for significant periods, only one or two nozzles are typically required per chamber. Accurate humidity levels can be maintained throughout using a humidistat control device.
The benefits of our ultrasonic nozzles are even more significant when introduced to plants grown under glass or in polytunnels. Large growing areas can be completely fogged, raising humidity levels, reducing the intensity of direct sunlight, and cooling the growing environment by as much as 5 degrees Celsius. This combination of humidity control and evaporative cooling makes our systems particularly valuable during warm weather, helping to protect crops from heat stress as well as maintaining optimal growing conditions.
Roof-mounted nozzles can be strategically positioned to deliver uniform humidity distribution across large growing areas, while mains water can be used with an integrated water purifier to ensure clean, safe operation. With self-cleaning nozzles and low maintenance requirements, our humidification systems are a practical and cost-effective choice for commercial horticultural operations.
