The aim of this study was to investigate pigment degradation, chlorophyll fluorescence diminution, photosynthetic ability and growth reduction in two rice cultivars, response either iso-osmotic salt stress or water-deficit stress. Seedlings cultivars RD6 KDML105 were photo-autotrophically grown MS media subsequently exposed –0.23 (control), –0.40 –0.67 MPa NaCl (salt stress) mannitol (water-deficit for 14 days. survival percentage the reduced dramatically when subjected treatment....
In the greenhouse industry, it is essential to use energy efficiently by operating economically feasible heating systems instead of traditional combustion-based systems. our experiment, a system with household heat pumps was operated at nighttime. Another kerosene heater used as comparison. We compared consumption, utilization efficiency, CO2 emissions and costs two When inside air temperature maintained around 16C while outside ranged between -5C 6C, results showed that 1) consumption 25%...
To evaluate the potential use of a 24-hour photoperiod for transplant production in closed system, tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) plug transplants were grown 17 days either under with photosynthetic photon flux PPF ) 200 μmol·m -2 ·s -1 or 16-hour 300 , resulting same daily integrated (17.3 mol·m ). Air temperatures alternated between 28 °C during first 16 hours and subsequent 8 each day. Fresh weight, dry weight leaf area 41%, 25%, 64% greater, respectively, than photoperiod....
The objective of this study was to estimate the electric energy consumption used for lighting and air conditioning its cost in a transplant production factory with fluorescent lamps as sole light source, using following dimensions assumptions : 1) is 10.2m wide, 12.0m long 3.0m high, 2) heat transmission coefficient walls 0.38Wm-2 K-1, 3) number exchanges 0, 0.001, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05 or 0.1h-1, 4) factory, there are three growth cabinets (1.8m 10.0m 2.5m each) each 5 modules holding 1, 485...
Humidity-controlled cold storage, in which the water vapour pressure is saturated, can prolong survival of predatory mites Neoseiulus californicus (McGregor) and Phytoseiulus persimilis Athias-Henriot (Acari: Phytoseiidae). However, information on optimum air temperature for long-term storage by this method limited. The authors evaluated mated adult females N. P. at 5.0, 7.5, 10.0 12.5 °C under saturated condition (vapour deficit 0.0 kPa).N. showed a longer time than all temperatures....
The aim of this study is to examine the effect light quality supplemental lighting during night on flowering and fruiting in an everbearing strawberry. Each plant strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duchesne 'Pechka') was transplanted into a 15-cm plastic pot February 2016. LED lamps were installed over bench greenhouse kept by minimum temperature 16°C, provided just after transplantation. Lighting time set 16 h from 16:00 08:00, PPFD 80 µmol m-2 s-1 at top plant. Three monochromatic lights...
An effective control logic for a high-pressure fog cooling system naturally ventilated greenhouse has been developed. A suitable duration of the operating time is estimated using weather data and target relative humidity inside with computational model based on mass thermal balances air. The program three main tasks: (1) to read dry bulb temperature set point fogging operation defined by user; (2) compute operation; (3) display relevant output information user. decreased as water vapor...
Abstract Humidification can suppress water loss from an organism and has great potential for improving the cold storage of short‐lived arthropods, such as predatory mites. The effectiveness humidity‐controlled was recently verified N eoseiulus californicus ( McG regor) females but not examined males. Combining both males in one protocol might increase predator population because it would enhance opportunity multiple mating, which is necessary to maximize their egg production. Newly emerged...
