‘A New Way to Grow’ Interview with Eef Zwinkels by HortiDaily

HortiDaily Magazine recently interviewed Royal Brinkman’s Eef Zwinkels about DryGair’s new growing concept – ‘A New Way to Grow’.

The interview discussed the benefits of DryGair’s new concept, what it can offer growers, and why it’s an essential part of the future of horticulture. Read the full interview on HortiDaily.

These are some excerpts from the interview:

What Is the New Growing Concept?

“’A New Way to Grow’ is a holistic and innovative way to grow greenhouse crops, using efficient lighting, thermal screens, and dehumidifiers,” Eef says. “This method was developed in order to optimize growth and yields and maximize energy savings. Growing according to these principles can save growers at least 50% on energy usage, minimize toxic sprays, and improve yield size and quality.”

 

Close the Greenhouse and Use Screens

“The first step in gaining control over growing conditions is to close the greenhouse. Closing windows and vents, spreading thermal screens, and improving insulation will help keep heat inside the greenhouse. This lets growers drastically reduce their heating requirements and therefore reduce their energy consumption.”

 

Use Efficient Lights

“The next step in optimizing growth is to provide optimal lighting for your crop. While lighting used to be a major source of energy consumption, new LED technology allows growers to light their greenhouse at a fraction of the cost.”

 

Control Humidity with DryGair

“Using dehumidifiers to remove humidity from the greenhouse space completely solves the problem of humidity without requiring any ventilation. So growers can keep the greenhouse completely closed and treat humidity from the inside.

DryGair dehumidifiers are designed specifically for horticultural use. They’re optimized for maximum energy efficiency and are engineered to be as effective as possible under real-world greenhouse conditions. Using DryGair, rather than ventilation, can save at least 50% on energy consumption and more.”

 

Save Energy While Optimizing Yields

Using DryGair in a closed and treated greenhouse creates the perfect conditions for cultivation. It stimulates growth, prevents diseases, and improves quality, all while saving significant amounts of energy.
