LeBio magenta light adjusting nets series
Our neighbor , who runs a bio-farm, using LeBio magenta light adjusting nets series. Which fulfill the plants needs for executing photosynthesis, red light, blue light are what plants need. The specialty of magenta light adjusting nets series is that it create lots of diffused light. In the meantime, it also adjust the ratio of red light and blue light. It adjust and reduce the green light ...

Heat pump in 2SaveEnergy greenhouse runs smoothly
Double aluminium screen plus a transparent screen A second screen installation to further reduce heat loss is installed. After extensive consultations and calculations we concluded that the optimal combination of screens would be a double aluminium screen on the existing system and a transparent screen on the new system will result in the lowest energy consumption. On a cold day during daytime ...

Going Green on Halloween: be earth-friendly all year-round
When it comes to the festive Halloween and harvest seasons, don't be "ghoulish," be smart. Go green to save money and help make every day Earth Day. Even though the weather is turning colder and furnaces are heating up in many places around the country, there are still plenty of ways for families to be mindful of resources and consumption in the colder months ahead. Sources show that millions of ...

Simulating Agricultural Climate Change Scenarios using Controlled Growth Chambers
Extreme weather, believed to result from climate change and increased atmospheric CO2 levels, is a concern for many. And beyond extreme events, global warming is also expected to impact agriculture.1,2 Although it is expected that climate change will significantly affect agriculture and cause decreases in crop yields, the full effects of climate change on agriculture and human food supplies ...

Greenhouse Gases, Not El Nino, Fueled U.S. Heat in 2006
BOULDER, Colorado, August 28, 2007 (ENS) - Greenhouse gases probably accounted for more than half of the widespread heatwave felt across the continental United States in 2006, according to a new study that will be published September 5 in 'Geophysical Research Letters,' a publication of the American Geophysical Union. Led by meteorologist Martin Hoerling at the National Oceanic And Atmospheric ...

Combatting diseases in the greenhouse before they become visible
A camera that maps photosynthesis, a DNA test that can measure the slightest traces of pathogens, or a precision spray system that only affects the plant and not the surrounding air… The Gezonde Kas (‘healthy greenhouse’) project has, over the last four years, allowed for the development of a sophisticated system of monitoring and disease control. It is now ready for practical ...

Simulating the effect of climate change on agriculture
Increased atmospheric CO2 levels and climate change are believed to contribute to extreme weather conditions, which is a major concern for many. And beyond extreme events, global warming is also predicted to affect agriculture.1,2 While climate change is expected to affect agriculture and reduce crop yields, the complete effects of climate change on agriculture and the resultant human food ...

Preparing Plants for our Future Climate
Planning is something we all do. As individuals, we may be planning for next weekend or our future retirement. Farmers and plant breeders are also planning for a future. The crops we currently depend on will need grow under different conditions – due to climate change. Some weather conditions are easy to control. Scientists can set the temperature in a greenhouse and control how much ...

Greenhouse fans: Horizontal Airflo Fans and Exhaust Fans
Ventilation to promote air flow and regulate temperature and humidity in your greenhouse is key to a successful growing system. Ideal climates yield better crops, so it’s important to consider different types of ventilation methods for your specific situation. Whether you’re using roof vents or side vents, you’ll need fans to help propel the air through your grow ...

Optimal substrate moisture content determined for high-quality bedding plants
The bedding plants sold in retail outlets are typically grown in greenhouse production environments where professionals can monitor irrigation, light, and temperature. When the greenhouse-grown plants reach the retail market, however, they are often subjected to a range of less-than-ideal light levels, temperatures, and irrigation schedules that can be detrimental to plant quality and vigor. ...

Race is on to feed warming world
It can take up to 30 years to improve a crop variety, test it and persuade farmers to adopt it. That means the speed of climate change in Africa could make a new variety of maize useless even before the first harvest, according to new research. But two separate studies that address the challenge of food security in a rapidly warming world suggest that the answers may lie not just in future ...

Rising heat brings earlier vintage
Global warming has begun to change the conditions for a fine wine harvest. The grapes are blooming earlier in Burgundy. The vintners of Vaud in Switzerland have a new harvest timetable. And the conditions for fine claret have altered in Bordeaux. Two US scientists have analysed 400 years of harvest data from France and Switzerland to confirm that, while climate change has not yet created ...

Warming Climate Undermines World Food Supply
Global agriculture could go into steep, unanticipated declines due to complications that scientists have so far inadequately considered, say three new reports authored by U.S. and international researchers. Developing countries may lose 334 million acres of prime farm land to climate change in the next 50 years, scientists estimate. After mid-century, continuing temperature rises, expected to ...

Working on more productive and sustainable horticulture in Morocco
Horticulture in Morocco has to become more sustainable and productive. Researchers of Wageningen University & Research have designed a demonstration greenhouse and are developing a research and education programme together with regional partners. In this project plant and economic researchers of Wageningen work together. "The tomato production in Agadir can easily be doubled. It is about ...
