Almost 25% increase in production thanks to AntiCondens
22-09-2022All plastic greenhouses in Dagestan near the Caspian Sea face the same issue: droplets of condensation absorb light and promote growth of pathogens. Tomato growing companies have found a solution in the form of AntiCondens for plastic.
Read moreFree sunlight is more welcome than ever
25-11-2021The rapidly rising natural gas prices are putting many companies in a bind. Every little bit of improvement therefore helps. For example, by making optimal use of free solar energy.
Read moreSunlight can be effectively managed in any season
14-09-2021Consultants Jelle Hoogland and Paul van Gils provide tips for the rational and efficient use of coatings. “A key question is, under what conditions does the plant suffer most? This is when you need to intervene,” says Hoogland. Paul van Gils looks back on past seasons: “We have learned a great deal during...
Read moreThe hydrophilic character of AntiCondens improves light incidence
11-12-2020Condensation on the greenhouse cover can significantly reduce light incidence. The hydrophilic properties of AntiCondens ensure that more light enters the greenhouse.
Read morePrevention of droplets inside plastic greenhouse results in 80% reduction in...
12-11-2020Large condensation droplets cause loss of light in any greenhouse. Furthermore, in plastic greenhouses and tunnels they cause disease-related problems. These problems can be controlled to a large extent by using the AntiCondens coating.
Read moreAntiCondens: careful application gives the best results
07-09-2020With AntiCondens, you optimize the incidence of light in your greenhouse. Application is not complicated, but it requires care. Our instruction video demonstrates how best to apply it.
Read moreGetting more light into the greenhouse in three steps
13-07-2020An old growers saying has it that 1% more light yields 1% higher production. Scientists have since shown that this is in fact a bit more nuanced: depending on the crop this varies from 0.5% to 1.25%. However, the principle remains the same; during a large part of the year all of the sunlight can effectively...
Read moreAn optimal climate in every season
07-01-2020Every climate is different, and each crop has its own preferences. The wide range of ReduSystems coatings makes it possible to manage sunlight throughout the year.
Read moreHow much light does my crop need?
23-12-2019There is an optimal amount of light for every crop. Too little means that production will be low. But too much will put pressure on the yield and quality. So custom work is always key.
Read moreControlling growth with light: more in winter, diffuse in summer
10-09-2019For a grower, every ray of sunlight entering the greenhouse in winter is a bonus. Light is also welcome in summer, provided it is properly distributed throughout the crop. This can be achieved by combining coatings. Two vegetable growers are leaders in this field in the Netherlands.
Read moreLight gain in greenhouse after applying AntiCondens leads to more production
03-06-2019For crops that are switched in the summer, this is the ideal time to apply AntiCondens to the inside of the greenhouse cover. It is a good preparation for the coming humid season, when condensation droplets block valuable light. Tomato grower Paul van Paassen has been using AntiCondens for three years,...
Read moreTen percent higher light incidence in greenhouse
09-06-2018Every percent can be converted into higher production. Mardenkro offers a package of solutions designed to improve the incidence of light into a greenhouse by as much as ten percent.
Read moreCoatings can reduce energy consumption
20-04-2018Coatings can reduce the energy consumption per kilo of product and in winter they can also reduce the absolute energy consumption.
Read moreEvery percent more light in winter is pure profit
01-11-2017Light is the limiting factor in production in winter. Every step taken to improve light ingress is therefore welcome.
Read moreOptimizing production
03-10-2017Vegetable and ornamental crops can produce much more than they do at present if the climate conditions are always ideal.
