Intro
The biggest advantage of indoor farming is arguably, the control you have over the space to tailor to specific crops. This means year-round production, high energy efficiency, controlled water usage, etc. However, it’s not as simple as placing crops indoors and letting them do their thing. It is necessary to create an environment mimicking nature with favorable conditions to the specific crops you are growing. There are many factors that go into curating the ideal environment, but you can leave humidity control to us.
Importance of Humidity in Agriculture
Production sites are much more sensitive to static electricity than us humans. For example, just a small level of static electricity, less than 1 KV to be exact, has a potential for a chain effect of serious issues and damages. Below, we’ve compiled some examples of these issues across various industries.
Why Controlled Humidity?
Like many things, plants require balance. Meaning, humidity is important and necessary but too much can be harmful. Benefits include:
- Uniform humidity for entire facility
- Promotes healthy growth
- Uniform plant growth- allows for more accurate shipment times
- Reduces water consumption
- Prevents mold, bacteria, and pests
- Overall energy efficient
With our dry fog humidification system you can achieve controlled humidity in your facility to maintain the ideal growing environment. Optimize growth potentials and reduce waste with AKIMist® E. Fun Fact: This solution can be applied to insect farming which is growing higher in demand alongside the popularity of meat alternatives, and humidity is vital to their growth as well.
