Climate Control Best Practices

Maintaining optimal climate conditions is crucial for successful greenhouse operations. This comprehensive guide covers the best practices for temperature, humidity, and CO2 management.

Temperature Management

Different crops require different temperature ranges. Most greenhouse crops thrive between 65-75°F during the day and 55-65°F at night. Automated systems can maintain these ranges precisely, adjusting heating and cooling as needed.

Humidity Control

Relative humidity should typically be maintained between 50-70% for most crops. Too high humidity can lead to disease, while too low can stress plants. Automated humidification and dehumidification systems ensure optimal levels.

CO2 Enrichment

CO2 levels between 1000-1500 ppm can significantly boost plant growth. Automated CO2 injection systems monitor levels and supplement as needed, especially during daylight hours when plants are actively photosynthesizing.
