Delivering improved greenhouse application tech

For some greenhouse growers, the phrase “many tools in the toolbox” often refers to the materials and solutions they have available to manage pests in their facilities. However, this could equally apply to the systems they’re using to control these pests.

“We don’t think there is one perfect system of spray equipment for the greenhouse, and there are many reasons a grower may choose one type of technology versus another,” says Kurt Becker, Executive Vice President of Dramm Corp. “These reasons can include anything from the crop you’re growing to the layout of your greenhouse.”

One of the advantages that fogging machines offer is the ability to do more with less resources, including water and labor. However, it’s important to remember that there are different types of fogging systems as well.

“When a grower tells us they want to start fogging in their greenhouse, the first thing we do is ask them about their greenhouse. How are they growing, what are they growing, and what are they trying to accomplish?” Becker says. “It generally comes down to the logistics within their facility.”
