Climate Control

When growing inside, the climate, maintaining optimal acidic/alkaline balance and the proper dose of appropriate nutrients, play determining roles in the yield of your plants, both for quality and quantity of produce. It is possible to considerably modify your yields by precisely measuring the pH and nutrient solution conductivity as well as maintaining good climate control in your greenhouse.

As well as an extensive line of pH and conductivity measurement instruments, we offer you highly dependable instruments which serve to precisely control the following parameters:

  • temperature
  • relative humidity
  • ventilation and air circulation
  • CO2 levels
  • odors

    Note that the simple regulation of CO2 in vegetable production increases your plants' yields in the order of 30% to 40% if you surpass by 300 to 900 ppm of CO2. This operation is simple and efficient with our precision control systems linked to burners or manometric diffusers.

A temperature that is too elevated not only encourages photorespiration, at the expense of photosynthesis, but also infestation by certain parasites such as the double-pointed tetranic. Especially during the summer months, it is necessary to be able to evacuate the air from the growth chambers within a 5 minute period. However, temperatures that are too low considerably diminish plant growth rates and, in the extreme cases, may cause fungal problems. It is essential to ensure air renewal while maintaining optimal CO2 and humidity levels. CO2 being heavier than ambient air, it has a tendency to accumulate at ground level, thus becoming unusable for the plant. A simple oscillating ventilator overcomes this problem by allowing the air to circulate such that the CO2 remains accessible.

Finally, if you dream of a garden without odor, there are ozone generators along with several types of deodorizers. Activated carbon filters are also available in various sizes to accommodate small and large greenhouses. They represent a safe and efficient technique to fight odours.

Remember that strict climatic management will allow you to reach the full potential of your indoor gardening system and provide you with a fair return on your investment.
