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.

If your watering wand has a leak that looks like this, it is time to examine the washer inside. High pressure water flowing through the connection point causes the material to erode.

Irrigation Upgrades to Reduce Labor and Improve Plant Quality

With unemployment below 4%, labor remains tight. Finding employees is a difficult task, not to mention finding people qualified to water correctly. Upgrading your irrigation systems can reduce labor greatly while improving plant quality.

Greenhouse Dehumidification to Reduce Energy Costs and Improve Plant Health

In winter months, greenhouse heating adds a great deal of cost to spring plant production. Typically, growers endure swings in climate as temperature and humidity rise until it is necessary to vent, bringing in cold air and releasing humid air. This is a typical "dehumidification" method in most greenhouses. Instead, using condensing dehumidifiers to lower humidity can reduce heating energy costs and prevent the climate fluctuations that effect plant health.
