Pros and cons of Greenhouse misting systems

Greenhouse misting systems have proven to be very effective at providing many types of vegetation with all of the water needed for proper growth. The idea behind misting is to provide a steady, even and light rain on everything that rests underneath the misting systems. The misting method takes advantage of plants' natural ability to process water through their leaves primarily and through their roots secondarily. Unfortunately, some problems are caused by misting.

Overly damp surfaces in a greenhouse promote the formation of bacteria and mold which can be harmful to plants. Botrytis cinerea, commonly called gray mold, creates an infection in plants and especially in grapes. Downy mildew can infect plants and decrease the quality of vegetation when it develops in a wet environment. Many horticulturists use different chemicals and additives to combat the plant diseases which can be caused by improperly run misting systems.

Smart Fog has developed a greenhouse misting system able to provide all of the water needed by plants in virtually any greenhouse without the use of traditional misting systems. The "dry fog" is created by a fogging system which can put all of the water the plants need into the air, yet keep the environment from becoming overly wet. The plants pull the moisture from the air and through their leaves, just as they do in nature.

The DryFog.US Wetness Monitor constantly tracks conditions in the greenhouse to make sure sufficient water levels are always available in the air. Many greenhouse managers are surprised at how affordable the high-quality, efficient DryFog.US systems are. Customer service agents are always standing by to answer questions and provide help.
