Abstract Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) applications, such as vertical farms and
plant factories, have the potential to shift food production to be close to urban centers …

If growers want to produce a healthy crop, with good quality and high yield, they have to
provide appropriate climatic conditions for crop production inside the greenhouse. Night …

Vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is considered to be one of the major environmental factors
influencing stomatal functions and photosynthesis, as well as plant growth in crop and …

Micro–spray is usually used to improve plant growth environment to avoid growth inhibiting
and yield decreasing due to the high temperature inside the greenhouses in summer. To …

In greenhouses during the winter season, a high vapor pressure deficit (VPD), particularly
due to air exchange during midday period, can limit plant biomass and yield. Thus, the VPD …

The Chinese solar greenhouse (CSG) ensures farming activities to continue and allow the
harvest timing to be manipulated and become an important part of Chinese agricultural …

Drought and heat stresses are severe threats to crop production and food security in arid
and semi-arid regions of the globe, especially during the summer. This study investigates …

In addition to ventilation, daily cooling must be provided for greenhouses located in semiarid
climates to maintain the desired climate conditions for year-round crop production. High …

Two experiments were conducted in different crop** seasons under Mediterranean
climatic conditions to investigate the impact of two cooling systems (fan-pad evaporative as …

Evaporative cooling occurs as a result of the conversion of sensible heat into latent heat in
mechanically supplied evaporated water. This article presents results from models based on …
