PulsFOG vs. Autofog. Why Both Might Be Your Best Choice When Choosing a Fogger.

Dramm offers more than 50 different pieces of equipment to apply pest control products in the greenhouse. From hydraulic sprayers to automatic foggers, our belief is that spray equipment is like tools in a toolbox. There are many tools needed for home repair: hammers, wrenches, pliers, screwdrivers. My toolbox has at least a dozen different screwdrivers because no one tool does it all.

Six Basic Rules of Pump Piping

Installing a new centrifugal pump? After carefully selecting the right size and materials, make sure the new pump is set up for success with proper installation. Setting the base correctly and aligning the pump is crucial. It’s also extremely important that piping to the pump is done properly.

Applying Biopesticides – Considerations for Best Application

Biopesticides are no longer tools only for organic growers. Most bios are great additions to a traditional IPM program. Because they are effective and employ different modes of action, biopesticides can be effective tools for any grower. However, most have special considerations for application. Understanding these issues and how they apply to different application methods can improve the efficacy of these products and prevent some messes along the way.

The Basics of Fogging for Plant Protection

Fogging for plant protection involves much more than creating a fog. Recent equipment releases into the horticultural industry show videos of fog permeating a crop and rapidly obscuring the space with a thick, smoke-like fog that cannot be seen through. Systems like this are most commonly used in the filmmaking industry where battlefields are often made to look more realistic with plumes of "smoke" and the fog of war. Unfortunately, these fogging systems rely on two points that make them less useful for plant protection.

Powdery or Downy Mildew? Your Fans May Be Part of the Problem.

Powdery and downy mildew can be a big problem for growers of ornamental, edible or medicinal plants. In each case, these pathogens cause economic damage by rendering the plant or produce unsalable. Each pathogen relies heavily on spores released by the fungus to spread to other plants. How your HAF system works may be a cause of spread and climate conditions that lead to infection.

Plants Not Growing Evenly? It Might Be Your Air Movement.

Even after investing in an irrigation system that provides the same water and fertilizer to each plant, it is possible that those plants may transpire at different rates, causing the plants to take up different amounts of water.  If the air movement is uneven, it will cause uneven transpiration from plant to plant.

Greenhouse Sanitation – Now There is Another Reason

Traditionally, ornamental greenhouse sanitation was a term used to describe procedures to prevent plant pathogens from multiplying. This would typically include reducing algae, removing weeds from gravel or along sidewalls. Sweeping between crops and washing down growing space was regarded as taking extra measures. The goal was to remove plant pathogens and prevent their spread from plant to plant to prevent economic loss.
