Misting irrigation
Misting irrigation is a technique used in greenhouses to provide water and humidity to crops in a uniform manner. It works by spraying water droplets at high pressure, creating a mist that disperses in the greenhouse environment, efficiently supplying the necessary amount of water to the plants.
Misting irrigation is a system that is usually implemented inside greenhouses to provide the water and humidity levels that crops need. Its operating methodology allows water to be distributed evenly throughout the space through a kind of mist. This irrigation method is a system by which water droplets come out at high pressure and are pulverized, that is, they are converted to a tiny size and thus form the small mist. In other words, it consists of a system implemented in the aerial part of the greenhouses by means of a series of emitters. These emitters are responsible for injecting the necessary amount of water into the air, which does not go directly to the crop in a liquid state but as a kind of mist.
