What does diffuse glass do?
Diffuse glass is focused on generating the best possible light transmission and diffusing the light that enters the greenhouse. Diffused light is scattered light that penetrates deeper into the crop. This way a larger leaf surface is exposed and can take in more CO2 for increased growth, production and quality.
What effects of diffuse glass?
Diffuse light has positive effects on crops.
- The crop is able to convert more light into growth (photosynthesis). This is due to a more uniform greenhouse climate, better horizontal light distribution, vertical light transmission and light absorption of the lower leaf layers. This increases the photosynthetic capacity of the plant.
- The crop undergoes less stress, a lower temperature in the upper leaf crop layers and a higher temperature in the lower sheet layers.
- The morphology and development of the crop change. The crop is more generative and the fruits develop faster. The fruits are heavier and there are often more fruits. Potted plants develop faster resulting in a shorter growing time.
MIGO GLASS offers diffused glass for greenhouses designed to get more diffused light, and our AR coating product line is designed to increase light transmittance while reducing light reflectance from sunlight.
