Modelling water requirements of greenhouse spinach for irrigation management purposes
Estimating water requirements of plants cultivated in greenhouse environments is crucial, both for the design of greenhouse irrigation systems and the improvement of irrigation scheduling. Spinach is one of the main vegetables sold as ‘ready-to-eat’ bagged produce; it is very sensitive to water stress and thus requires accurate irrigation. In this work, a water balance model simulating the ...

Performance of solid-state sensors for continuous, real-time measurement of soil CO2 concentrations
Recent advances in sensor technology provide a robust capability for continuous measurement of soil gases. The performance of solid-state CO2 sensors (Model GMM220 series, Vaisala, Inc., Helsinki, Finland) was evaluated in laboratory, greenhouse, and irrigated winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). In ambient CO2 concentration, the GMM222 sensor averaged 427 ± 8.3 µL L–1. Under variable CO2 ...

Greenhouse Tomatoes - Organic farms use smart data for optimum yield - Case Study
A greenhouse organic tomato and cucumber grower saved his crop during extreme drought with Sensoterra sensors, and improved yield with soil moisture data. With extreme droughts occuring more frequently, Danny Monté, Forecast and Quality Administration and Quality Control Manager at AC Hartman BV, relies on Sensoterra soil moisture sensors to support irrigation decisions for greenhouse ...

Performance evaluation of condensation–irrigation solar system under arid climate conditions
Scarcity of water, major critical concern in arid areas, has led to the use of low–quality irrigation water in agriculture in most of arid climate areas. The quality of water used for agriculture has to be reduced to a sustainable level that is also adapted to the environment. This paper presents the performance of a pilot condensation irrigation (CI) solar system in Tunisia under arid ...

Measurement and modelling of the water requirement of some greenhouse crops with artificial neural networks and genetic algorithm
Crop evapotranspiration is the most important parameter for management of irrigation systems in greenhouses. This study was conducted to determine the evapotranspiration of cucumber, tomato and peppers, using micro–lysimeter during seven months in a greenhouse located in central region of Iran. Reference evapotranspiration estimated using drainage lysimeters and the water balance of soil ...

Scalewatcher Banishes Limescale In Gardens And Greenhouses
In hard water areas, automated watering systems, sprinkler irrigation systems and greenhouse-misting systems clog with limescale, plant leaves develop white scale deposits and over-spray causes limescale build-up on greenhouse windows. Scalewatcher North America, manufacturers of the original, patented and award-winning computerized electronic water-conditioner, Scalewatcher®, has a range of ...

UbiBot SP1 For Greenhouse Light Regulation
To grow plant plants in greenhouses, you need light. The amount of light a plant receives determines the length of time a plan remains active and its rate of growth. The most basic metabolic process of the plant is photosynthesis, and photosynthesis requires light energy. Three Aspects of Light Effect There are three aspects of light that should be considered when determining the effect that ...

On site at Northdown Orchard Organic Farm
On Saturday 15th of October we were on site with Mike and the team at Northdown Orchard, an existing customer who was kind enough to show us around the farm and let us snap some great photos at his site in exchange for a morning demonstrating our latest stone burier on his tractor. About Northdown Orchard The organic farm is a family run affair and sits on a site of 12 acres. Mike and his ever ...
