New technology improves greenhouse, plant microclimates

Tuesday, December 28, 2010 - 20:22 in Physics & Chemistry

New technology improves greenhouse climates by reducing solar heat radiation and temperatures during the hot summer season. The study was the first investigation into the effects of application of the liquid foam technology as a shading method. Results showed that the technology improved greenhouse and plant microclimates and decreased air temperature more than conventional shading curtains traditionally used by greenhouse growers.
