Managing greenhouse ventilation and humidity

Control temperature, humidity, and air movement together to reduce disease pressure.

When humidity stays high in a greenhouse, fungal diseases spread quickly. Ventilation is not only about removing hot air; it also prevents moisture from sitting on leaves.

Morning ventilation reduces condensation collected overnight. Opening vents gradually instead of all at once helps lower plant stress.

Keep a temperature and humidity log. A few weeks of records show when disease risk rises and help plan preventive treatments more accurately.
