Greenhouse production is susceptible to a variety of fungal diseases such as botrytis and downy mildew. These pathogens are present in the air, but they can only develop in the presence of freestanding water, such as, dew or other condensation on the plant leaves. With our Dry Fog Humidification for Greenhouses, Smart Fog helps prevent condensation, which is essential to preventing fungal diseases.
Why greenhouses need foggers
One of history’s unsung botanists is the first president of the United States, George Washington. Washington spent many hours in his greenhouse caring for plants and looking for better ways to grow vegetation of many types. Over the years, many innovations have been created to help greenhouses create the right atmosphere to properly grow plants, such as greenhouse foggers.
Effectively delivering water into the air to create humidity without creating standing water can be a challenge. By producing water droplets less than 10 microns in size, the water from greenhouse foggers can quickly evaporate into the air instead of falling to the ground. DryFog.US creates miniscule droplets of water with its proprietary, supersonic system.
Benefits of Greenhouse Fogger Systems
A fog system for greenhouses can provide the special humidification needed by plants. Our Smart Fog system can be controlled so that plants do not experience extreme changes in humidity that are harmful to them. Smart Fog humidification systems provide automated continual humidity levels from 1 percent to 99 percent humidity.
Our fog system works with no wetting
We make a fog system that will not leave wetting or pooling on plants. We realize that too much moisture in the air results in wetting, so we have designed our products that will not do this. Too much standing water that results with standard humidifiers encourages mold and mildew on many plants and can damage them.
We also offer a misting and cooling fog system
Our misting and cooling systems provide water to plants that is absorbed through the air by their leaves. There are no puddles of water with our misting system, just as there are none with Smart Fog foggers.
Smart fog system raises humidity in greenhouses
The Smart Fog system is ideal for greenhouses because it is capable of raising humidity to very high levels without moisture pooling around plants. Many plants such as tropical plants need high humidity levels, but excess water can cause mold and mildew on some types of plants. There is a system for every greenhouse, including our fogger or misting or cooling system.
A fog system that mists or cools
We also offer other systems that can mist and cool the air in a greenhouse. Some plants require misting so that they can absorb the water through their leaves. While other systems often leave pools of water, Smart Fog will not do that. Our systems can also cool air for plants requiring cooler temperatures.
More Unique Innovations in Greenhouse Humidity Sensors
High-quality humidity sensors have always been a challenge to create for greenhouse foggers that monitor the wet bulb temperatures in a greenhouse. DryFog.US has developed an innovative solution using a specially designed leaf using fiber optics. The leaf sits in the greenhouse like any other leaf to provide an accurate representation of the water being delivered to all of the plants. The fiber optics notice even the slightest changes in the light as a result of the moisture in the air. Information is relayed to the foggers and changes are made as needed.
The Smart Fog greenhouse foggers make use of low-pressure delivery systems for the fog created. Unlike a noisy high-pressure delivery system, the Smart Fog foggers go unnoticed by most people as they quietly do their job year after year. You need humidity and Smart Fog can help you get it.
