Israel Agri Magazine – How DryGair Reduces Horticulture Energy Footprint

An article recently published in Israel Agri magazine describes how DryGair helps greenhouse and indoor growers save energy and improve yields through efficient humidity control.

The following excerpts are taken from the article. Read the full article here.

DryGair is leading the way in horticulture humidity control, providing an effective and efficient solution to this widespread issue. The Israeli company manufactures and markets an innovative technology that lets growers control humidity with precision, at the highest efficiency rate.

DryGair’s Solution to Rising Energy Prices

As energy prices rise, heating and venting becomes less and less economically viable, pushing many growers to seek more efficient alternatives, such as DryGair. Growers that use DryGair’s dehumidifiers report up to 70% savings on heating, with an average of 50%.

One study was performed in basil greenhouses in Germany, to measure the impact DryGair has on energy. Over three seasons, the greenhouses using the system exhibited significant savings, compared to the control greenhouses – 42% in the spring, 51% in autumn, and 78% during the winter months. That’s an average of 57%, leading to an ROI of 23 months, based on energy savings alone.

Disease Prevention and Yield Improvements

DryGair can control humidity at all times, regardless of weather or climate patterns, it provides the ideal line of defense against diseases. Many of the most common crop molds and diseases, such as botrytis and powdery mildew, require high humidity to develop. So full control over humidity prevents outbreaks at very high rates.

DryGair has already proven itself as an all-round growing tool with multiple yield benefits. For example, in a separate trial performed in a Spanish tomato greenhouse, the system provided a 25% increase in fruit per plant, effectively increasing the yield per square meter.

DryGair is beneficial for almost all crops, including vegetables, leafy greens, flowers, potted plants, cannabis, and more. The dehumidifiers are compatible with all types of growing facilities – greenhouses, indoor grow rooms, hydroponics, vertical farms, etc.
