The Humidification Challenge
High Humidity Destroys Crops
Mold, bacteria, and pathogens pillage plants and rob growers of high quality yields. And nothing fortifies these contaminants better than stagnant water. Chronically high humidity also creates physiological disorders in plants that lead to edge burn, soft growth, and mineral deficiencies.
To avoid these outcomes and guarantee high quality yields, humidity usually needs to be below 70% – and never produce unwanted wetness.
Low Humidity Also Destroys Crops
However, lowering humidity is not a perfect defense against diseases and rot. Low humidity likewise weakens the plant immune system and makes them susceptible to diseases like edema.
Plus, low humidity (usually below 30% RH) prevents moisture from being absorbed in plants, causing them to lose weight and shrink. The only way to defend crops from these threats is to provide the right amount of non-wetting humidity.
The Self-Evaporative Solution
Keeping Crop Conditions Pristine
Self-evaporative humidification controls humidity based on the natural decorrelation process of oxygen and hydrogen molecules.
This means that self-evaporative technology emulates the same humidity found in natural atmospheres – never fluctuating, never wasting, and always evaporating.
Maintaining Crop Quality
By maintaining the desired relative humidity level (+/- 2%) throughout all growth stages, cultivators improve plant health, plant yield, and even TCH levels.
Additionally, cultivators can use the humidifier system to inject water-soluble fertilizers, nutrients, disease control, and sanitation solutions into the fog for a multi-zone system that meets the unique needs of different plants.
Ultimately, cultivators utilize self-evaporative humidification for precise, non-wetting humidity to amplify plant yield, uniformity, and quality.
