Mist irrigation

Mist irrigation is a technique used in greenhouses to provide water and humidity to crops evenly. It works by spraying water droplets at high pressure, creating a mist that is dispersed in the greenhouse environment, efficiently supplying the necessary amount of water to the plants.

Mist irrigation is a system that is usually implemented within greenhouses to bring the level of water and humidity that the crops need. Its operating methodology allows the water to be distributed evenly throughout the space through a kind of fog. This irrigation method is a system by which water droplets come out at high pressure and are sprayed, that is, they become tiny in size and thus form small mist. In other words, it consists of a system implemented in the aerial part of the greenhouses through 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 its state. liquid but like a kind of mist.
