Sweet peppers benefit from diffuse light

30-03-2016

Light is an important factor for achieving high yield and quality in a sweet pepper crop. Not only is the amount of light crucial, also its distribution during the day. Furthermore, the quality of the light, such as light colour and whether or not it’s direct or indirect is significant.

Uniform coating is an art

08-03-2016

An evenly applied coating is very important. Otherwise an uneven amount of light enters the greenhouse and that can result in a non-uniform crop or problems with the climate control. Gert-Jan van Hattem, of spraying specialist HPW Spuittechnieken, talks about the art of coating.

Coating in layers is interesting for all growers

11-01-2016

Growers ask many questions about light loss in relation to applying a coating. Through smart use of ReduSystems products it is possible ‘to shade with the light’. Here are a few tips to discuss with your customers.

Diffused light virtually always better

11-01-2016

All fruit-bearing vegetable crops benefit from diffuse light. The total photosynthesis increases through better light penetration and reduced heat stress.

How does AntiReflect work?

11-01-2016

AntiReflect reduces the difference in refractive index between air and glass; that is why the greenhouse receives more sunlight.

Anti-condensation coating for glass

11-01-2016

In the Netherlands the levels of light are low in winter. We can compensate for this by using additional lighting, but it is also important to let in as much of the available natural light as possible. One way of getting more light in is to reduce light loss caused by condensation.
