Dissolved Oxygen Needs Sanitation to Be Effective

Sprayer Maintenance – Get ready for the next season.

If your equipment is hobbled by maintenance issues, your problems can worsen, even though you are using expensive chemicals and labor to solve them. Proper sprayer maintenance can help ensure your applications are effective and make the most of your pesticide applications.

Controlling Mist for Propagation

Dramm mist propagation systems are designed to evenly distribute the right amount of water on liners of seedlings or cuttings. Providing the right flow and droplet size is important to ensure that the media remains moist during rooting. The timing of these mist cycles is just as important. Using the right controller to ensure that the misting cycles are timed correctly can have a great impact on your production.

CE-Line: The Benefits of Automated In-Line Nutrient Analysis

Laboratory nutrient testing is labor-intensive, prone to human error, and most of all, time-consuming. However, a groundbreaking solution has emerged: the CE-Line, an automated in-line nutrient analysis unit poised to revolutionize greenhouse management.

Retail Irrigation Upgrades to Reduce Labor and Improve Plant Health

Many production growers have turned to automation to reduce labor and improve the quality of their plants. However, retail garden centers are behind the automation curve, still hand watering regularly. Upgrading retail irrigation systems that are tailored to merchandising can significantly benefit garden centers, minimizing labor requirements and enhancing plant health.

Fogging Calcium for Poinsettia Bract Edge Burn

Poinsettia Bract Edge Burn is a common occurrence in this Christmas crop. Brown necrotic lesions occur on the bract margin. The primary cause for this is low levels of calcium in the bract. Some poinsettia varieties have difficulty translocating calcium to the bract margin as the bract expands. Once necrosis begins, botrytis often follows, often leading more plant damage.

Barrier Water Treatment vs Holistic Water Treatment with Complete Ozone Systems

Filtration systems, heat-pasturization and ultra-violet sanitation systems all employ a barrier to eliminate or prevent contaminants from moving down stream of the barrier. This method may remove undesirable components in your water, but they do not provide any residual sanitation in the plumbing and other equipment downstream and they do nothing to help promote the health of the crop.

Save Labor by Speeding Up Your Hand Watering

Time management in the greenhouse has always been a paramount concern. By choosing high-flow Waterbreakers, valves, and hoses, watering time can be drastically cut down. 

Leaky Wand? Check Your Washers.
