Can Limiting Ventilation Solve Heat Stress in Greenhouses?
Opening the vents isn’t always the answer to greenhouse heat stress. Why limiting ventilation can keep crop VPD healthy above 30°C — and the crop-centric data that makes it safe.

“Does my crop need more light or more temperature?” “It depends.” A very unsatisfactory answer to many questions in greenhouse horticulture — and yet probably one of the most accurate ones. There is hardly ever a single, clear response; it almost always depends on the crop, the variety, the growth stage, the time of year,…
Finns are masters of climate control. You only need to look at one of their most successful international exports to see it: the sauna — a pocket of extreme heat inside a landscape of extreme cold. Greenhouse horticulture is, of course, another form of climate control. Last week, Mihnea Paraschiv from Sigrow visited Finland together…
