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.

ReduFuse tempers harsh Auckland climate

10-01-2016

The strong radiation in the area around Auckland (New-Zealand) can lead to a reduction in yield and to too much generative plant growth. Since Underglass NZ started using ReduFuse, yield has risen and the greenhouse climate can be controlled better.

Chrysanthemums under ReduFuse

20-12-2015

If the crop can remain active for longer on warm days it can also mean extra yield. In order to achieve that chrysanthemum grower Jan Boerma has been using ReduFuse.

ReduFuse removes the sharpness

20-12-2015

Alstroemerias do like light. “By using ReduFuse you remove the sharpness while minimising the light loss,” says Maurice Olsthoorn of Together2Grow.

Better quality and a more pleasant working climate

17-11-2015

After a trial in which half a roof was covered with ReduFuse, Kainz & Mayer Marchfeld tomatoes, has switched over to using it completely. Cluster quality and setting improved and some varieties yield more too.

In search of the perfect coating

17-11-2015

Pepper grower Johann Thell, of Tadten (Burgenland), has through previous use of ReduHeat and ReduFuse decided on ReduFuse IR. This appears to be the optimum coating for achieving higher quality and production.

Light distribution in the greenhouse

28-10-2015

It is difficult in the greenhouse to measure light well. Certainly on clear days, shadows thrown by parts of the building cause a large difference in the light that falls upon the crop.

Light at centre of crop advice

13-10-2015

Willem Valstar gives advice to tomato growers both at home and abroad. At the centre is the amount of light available – natural and artificial. A growth model indicates the best approach to take under the local conditions and with the technology available.

Haze factor mainly dependent on thickness of coating

12-09-2015

Diffuse glass has a fixed haze factor. If you choose a diffuse coating it is possible to change the amount of light scatter, and hence haze, each year.

Cymbidiums and ReduFuse IR

09-09-2015

ReduFuse IR has allowed cymbidium grower Eric van Paasen to close the screen later in the day. He expects a positive effect on the number of stems and stem length.

Ex-grower conveys high-tech production to Australian colleagues

26-08-2015

Ex-tomato grower Toon Oomen teaches colleagues in Australia and New Zealand how to ‘read’ a crop. The extreme Australian conditions call for the use of ReduFuse.

In search of the optimum light level for potted plants

30-07-2015

Diffuse light benefits almost all potted plants that have been tested in trials. Often the grower can allow in a greater amount of light, which will make the plants grow faster.

Combining ReduSystems products

13-05-2015

Since the launch of ReduHeat in 2005 users often ask us if it is possible to combine different ReduSystems coatings with one another. Just to make it clear, when we talk about combining we mean ‘layering’ one coating over another, not mixing the products because that can definitely cause problems. We...

ReduFuse produces more growth in generative crops

06-05-2015

Diffuse light can contribute towards a better fruit quality and higher production. It’s mostly these results that are mentioned when research has been carried out on diffuse light through glass, a coating or a screen. What the research also shows, but where less attention has been paid up to now, is...
