Hanania Avakrat of Shorashim Nursery Discusses DryGair Dehumidifiers on HortiDaily

Shorashim is one of the first commercial growing facilities to incorporate DryGair dehumidifiers, over 13 years ago. Today, the first units are still fully operational, and more units have been added since.

Shorashim is one of the largest nurseries in Israel, specializing in vegetable and spice seedlings. Their greenhouses produce over 150 million seedlings a year, for farmers all across the country.

Hanania Avakrat, co-founder of Shorashim, was recently interviewed about his experience with DryGair. Find the full interview on HortiDaily.

The following are a few excerpts from the article:

Humidity Control Is Necessary for Greenhouses

Hanania says, “When we first tested the DryGair dehumidifiers, we wet the plants in the evening. When we came in the morning, they were completely dry.”

“Once we started drying with the DryGair dehumidifiers, we got significantly better results than before. So we went ahead and purchased more units over the years.” Avakrat adds, “DryGair has improved our growing conditions and reduced the occurrence of detrimental diseases and molds. We’ve been using the system for 13 years, and the first dehumidifiers are still working well to this day.”

Energy Savings and Ease of Operation

When asked about operating the DryGair system, Hanania replied, “DryGair is a very reliable system that requires virtually zero maintenance. There’s no need to clean any filters or drain water. The units work almost without human intervention. We see significant energy savings as well, which is substantial in such a large operation.”
