Diffuse coating fits well with Next Generation Growing

20-03-2015

"Next Generation Growing starts with optimum cultivation," says crop consultant Peter Geelen of Plantmonitoring.nl. That means optimum utilisation of light. A diffuse coating is an excellent means for achieving that.

ReduFuse IR or ReduHeat?

01-02-2015

Lumiforte is continuously developing horticultural coatings. We want to offer the ideal coating for your greenhouse and crop in as many situations as possible. At the beginning of 2014 we introduced a new diffuse coating that keeps out heat: ReduFuse IR.

ReduFuse makes it possible to produce summer strawberries in the greenhouse

20-01-2015

Kwekerij Loos, is a front-runner when it comes to the sustainable year-round production of strawberries. The nursery has three hectares of greenhouses that are heated with waste heat. Last year, for the first time, it achieved a summer crop under glass. This was made possible by having the diffuse coating,...

Phalaenopsis and ReduFuse

20-01-2015

Orchid grower Opti-flor was able to use less artificial light at its Grandi-flora branch after ReduFuse was applied. The screen was also closed less often.

Stronger roses in the summer

20-01-2015

Dutch rose nursery, Marjoland of Waddinxveen, saw its summer production rise under ReduFuse. Under ReduFuse IR the stems were also stronger. Fine-tuning the coatings continues.

Growing under a new coating is a learning process

20-01-2015

Leo and Maikel van den Berg have been growing sweet peppers at two locations in Bleiswijk, the Netherlands, since 2012. This was the year they took over a greenhouse from a colleague. During the first season they found it difficult to maintain sufficient growth at this new location. To try and achieve...

Vigorous production needs ReduFuse

18-01-2015

Dutch tomato grower T.W. van Noord makes every effort to have an energy efficient and vigorous crop. The nursery has been working with a new growing strategy for two years and is saving at least 10 per cent on natural gas. “For this strategy to work ReduFuse is essential in the summer,” say Theo van...

Incoming light in winter certainly can be improved

17-03-2014

During the winter natural light is the limiting factor for growth and production: Every reason to look at optimising the light entering the greenhouse during the winter. Frank Kempkes of Wageningen UR Greenhouse Horticulture thinks it’s possible to improve it by 15-20%.

Screens hardly needed due to coating

11-03-2014

Since Dutch flower nursery, van de Westeringh, started using ReduHeat and ReduFuse IR, the shade screens have hardly been used at all. The flower colour remains good and working conditions are better.

Why diffuse light works

07-03-2014

If you scatter light when radiation is high, the total photosynthetic efficiency of the entire crop increases. This is the main reason why diffuse light leads to greater production. Furthermore it results in less heat stress.

Three years practical experience with ReduFuse

06-03-2014

Coating makes optimal growing possible. Diffuse light clearly can increase production and quality. Over the years this has been proven time and time again by horticultural research trials and now data from commercial nurseries is piling up. ReduFuse allows a greenhouse roof to diffuse light without the...

ReduFuse or ReduFuse IR?

04-03-2014

A few years ago Mardenkro introduced ReduFuse. It is a coating that diffuses sunlight while hardly reducing light transmission. It is used mostly in the summer months for vegetable and flower crops that normally are not, or very minimally, screened. It’s clear from the graph below that light transmission...

Pot plants benefit from diffuse glass

27-02-2014

A wide range of flowering and green pot plants performs better under ReduFuse. For some types the increase in productivity or acceleration of the production cycle is quite substantial. That is especially true if the grower can allow in more light. But even at an equal level of light, diffused light leads...

Independent light measurements

26-11-2013

Independent light measurements demonstrate: ReduFuse achieves uniform distribution of light with minimum loss! Mardenkro called in Multi-Meet from Nieuw-Vennep to measure the light in greenhouses belonging to Prominent, a growers’ association located in ’s-Gravenzande (Netherlands). The aim was to gain...
