Why should diffuse glass be used in the greenhouse?

Agricultural experts have found that in the growth of vegetables, the intensity of light plays a decisive role in the yield of crops. In the Netherlands, where modern agriculture is developed, the development of glass greenhouses is an example for countries in the world to learn from. How to increase production in the face of unfavorable production climate environment? Especially crops that are light-loving, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers.

The Ultra-Clear diffuse glass has a high light transmittance to reach the greenhouse to the maximum to meet the spectrum required for photosynthesis of plants, improve photosynthesis of crops, and increase crop yields. The different texture of the diffuse glass surface adjusts the light scattering rate to maximize the uniform radiation of light. In addition, when the outdoor sunlight radiation is high, the photo-inhibition effect of plants measured under the scattered light treatment is small. Under sunny conditions, compared with float glass, the temperature of the upper leaves of the crops in the diffuse glass greenhouse is lowered by 3 to 5°C.

Why should diffuse glass be used in the greenhouse?

For the greenhouse, the most important thing is the total amount of sunlight energy. If the light is weak, you need to use a lower haze (haze is the percentage of the transmitted light intensity that deviates from the incident light by more than 2.5° of the total transmitted light intensity). If the sunlight is strong, you need to use a higher haze to scatter the light/energy. For higher plants such as fruit trees and cucumbers, glass with high haze is suitable, and glass with low haze is suitable for plants with lower seedlings, vegetables, flowers, etc.
