How to benefit more from the use of curtains?

Most people know that greenhouse curtains have functions such as shading, heat preservation, and light scattering, but how can they get more benefits from the curtains? Innovative production often brings huge returns. Which features have you overlooked? Boman tells you that the other functions of the screen we know have far exceeded the initial expectations.

If you have added valuable equipment to the greenhouse, why not make the most of it to maximize the benefits? For your consideration, Boman summed up 5 great potentials that you may not have discovered but are of extraordinary significance.

1. Use external shading to extend the life of the covering material

If your greenhouse is a plastic greenhouse, or a sunshine greenhouse with PVC panels, then when you use external shading, you can extend the life of the covered plastic. Growers found that the use of external shading curtains can reduce friction on the plastic film of the film greenhouse, thereby reducing the unevenness of the film surface due to friction, the growth of algae and the cracking of the greenhouse covering material, which affect the service life of the greenhouse or greenhouse.

2. Increase planting density

Using a screen with efficient scattering function, you can increase the planting density. Compared with direct light, scattered light is softer and can reach the middle and lower part of the crop canopy earlier. Improve photosynthetic efficiency and accelerate crop growth. The lighting is more uniform, reducing the appearance of shadows and bright spots. Imagine if you increase the planting density by 1%-2%, for example, 1000 pots at a price of 5 yuan per pot, then you will get more income. Reasonable use of resources is also an important means of saving.

3. Create a good working environment for workers

Can you imagine the 35℃ weather in Nanjing or Chongqing in summer? This kind of temperature abounds in greenhouses in summer, and a comfortable climate is especially important for people working in the greenhouse. The use of white scattering curtains can immediately reduce the indoor temperature by 5-8°C. Compared with the black net, the aluminum foil curtain with the shading rate of 60% can reduce the heat by 30%. This is not only beneficial to crops, but also provides a comfortable working environment for workers in production and retail areas.

4. Humidity control

Due to its special weaving process, the use of curtains is compared with the traditional plastic film, and the latter adds a breathable function. Without this function, water vapor cannot pass through the plastic film, and moisture will accumulate in the greenhouse and cause condensation. Condensation can cause disease, so you will spend more money on disease treatment. The curtain is like a breathable film, which physically drains the excess water out of the greenhouse to maintain a suitable humidity environment in the greenhouse.

5. Double curtain
