Many market gardeners and producers extend production with the “second season,” cultivating profitable crops such as salads, spinach, radishes, or herbs in the off-season. This niche, crucial for short supply chains and annual profitability, presents unique challenges: reduced sunlight, increased risk of rain, and the onset of humidity and nighttime cold.
EDAMS climate control automation is essential for mastering this new environment. It maintains an optimal greenhouse climate through adjusted ventilation, precise temperature and humidity regulation, and the targeted use of motorized shading systems. This dynamic regulation effectively protects crops against excessive rain, strong winds, and sudden drops in temperature. By controlling humidity, we prevent the onset of fungal diseases, which are common in autumn.
Securing crops and optimizing yields depends on this ability to react instantly. Thanks to sensors, the vents close automatically in case of rain and adjust to ensure sufficient light levels when the weather is overcast.
Remote control via smartphone or tablet is a major advantage during this period, allowing for the management of several greenhouses simultaneously without increasing manual intervention in the field. This facilitates the planning of regular and reliable harvests for short supply chains or community-supported agriculture (CSA). Ultimately, a greenhouse with climate control automated by EDAMS not only ensures better profitability and consistent production quality but also offers significant comfort and time savings for agricultural teams.
