HEATING FOR AGRICULTURAL GREENHOUSES: ELECTRIC HEATING MATS FOR SEEDS AND CUTTINGS
The heating system, consisting of EH-POWERGROUND electric heating mats and EH-CONTROL thermostats, represent the latest evolution of heating for greenhouses. EH-POWERGROUND is a heating mat made with patented technology, internally insulated, covered with a special waterproof and fertilizer-resistant PVC. It is designed to maximize efficiency and economy by concentrating the heat in the part that most needs it: the substrate, in order to facilitate the absorption of nutrients.
Our goal is to provide a ready-to-use, “PLUG & PLAY” radiant system for greenhouses, complete with heating mats, thermostats and extensions, sized according to customer needs that can be installed and used quickly.
Heating mats are ideal for seeds and cuttings. Basal heating or hot bed greenhouse technique has been used since ancient times to grow delicate plants in cold climates.
In particular, the heating mats for greenhouses:
reduce heating costs in greenhouses
stimulate the germination of seeds and the rooting of the cuttings
accelerate the processes of plant development and nutrient absorption
facilitate the reduction of the duration of the production cycles
The heating of the root zone produces a general increase in crops compared to traditional systems. In fact, it has been shown that this system allows to carry out more production cycles during the winter season or in less temperate climates. In particular, the use of the heating mats for seeds and cuttings technique involves reducing the duration of the development period between sowing or transplanting and reaching a salable state of the plant. Managing the optimal temperature, through the root zone or substrate heating system, can lead to a significant reduction in heating costs for greenhouses.
The best results from a production and economic point of view were obtained in:
production of cuttings
germination of seeds
plants cultures
Heating systems for agricultural greenhouses require particular attention in sizing, design and construction. Our goal is the containment of energy costs, the correct sizing of the system and the uniformity of the basal temperature by sector.
