Most growers monitor relative humidity. Successful growers understand absolute humidity. In this course, you’ll learn why absolute humidity provides a far more reliable picture of your greenhouse climate and how to use it to make better climate decisions that improve plant activity, transpiration and crop performance. This course is also included in the Plant Empowerment Full Membership.
Do's and don'ts in Absolute Humidity
Understanding the moisture balance
Humidity management is about more than simply monitoring relative humidity. To make better climate decisions, you need to understand how moisture moves through the greenhouse and how it influences plant activity. In this course, you’ll learn the physical principles behind absolute humidity, diffusion, vapor pressure difference (VPD) and the greenhouse moisture balance.
By understanding the processes behind humidity instead of simply reacting to climate values, you’ll be able to create a more active crop, reduce humidity-related issues and optimize greenhouse performance.
Course details
Who should join?
This course is designed for growers, crop managers, greenhouse managers and consultants who want to better understand the greenhouse moisture balance and make more informed climate decisions. It’s ideal for professionals looking to move beyond simply monitoring climate data and start steering based on the processes that drive plant activity and performance.
About the course
Recorded during the exclusive three-day Advanced Training in Canada, this course is part of a series covering key horticultural topics such as leaf temperature, climate strategies and data-driven growing. It builds on the foundations of the Plant Empowerment Basic Course.
