Even with advanced climate control, creating the right conditions throughout the crop remains a challenge. Air movement, lighting and plant architecture all influence the microclimate and, ultimately, crop performance.
Course
Plant architecture and microclimate
Beyond the climate computer
What happens around a leaf can be very different from what your climate sensors measure. Discover why the boundary layer matters, how air movement affects the exchange of heat, moisture and CO₂, and why switching from HPS to LED lighting can change plant temperature and transpiration.
Through practical greenhouse examples, horticultural experts reveal why conventional airflow strategies may fall short, where hidden microclimate problems can arise, and how a better understanding of your crop can help you make more informed climate management decisions.
Course details
Who should join?
This course is designed for professional growers, cultivation managers and greenhouse specialists working in high-tech greenhouses. It is particularly relevant for those looking to improve climate management, optimise air movement and better understand the relationship between plant architecture, microclimate and plant health.
About the course
This course combines studio-recorded explanations from horticultural experts with practical greenhouse footage that brings the concepts to life. The course is part of the Mastering the Dynamics of Your Plant programme, which explores the interactions between plants and their growing environment to support better growing decisions.
