Micro Climate

Image
                                                        Air Humidity A   micro climate  is set of atmospheric conditions of a specific area that may vary widely from the surrounding geographical area, especially Air Humidity and Air Temperature.            Humidity levels fluctuate with change with weather, air temperature as well as the plants constantly transpiring which add water vapor to the air. Humid directly contributes to problems such as foliar and root diseases, slow drying of growing medium, plant stress and loss of quality of yields.  Together with the air temperature, it also impacts heavily the affect of various pests of a particular crop. Therefore, more pesticides are needed for disease control and plants tend to have weak, stretched growth making the plant less desirable. Plants adjust their leaf stomatal openings on the VPD ( Vapour - pressure-deficit ) and the humidity in air. At high humidity, water usage by plant is too low which compromises quality of the yield.

An industry hungry for change

Image
                                             The threat that the world will struggle to feed itself in 2050 is very real. The UN projects that the world population is likely to reach 9.8 billion, up from 7.8 billion as of 2021. That’s a 26% increase in the span of 20 years. In the same time period, soil fertility is expected to be compromised while the weather is likely to become increasingly unpredictable. This congruence of situations means that the global food supply chain will be put under unprecedented stress due to a fluctuating output. The scenes which may follow, are likely to be right out of a dystopian science fiction novel. Children and adults in developing and underdeveloped nations starving. The developed world, at each other’s throats in order for each nation to secure enough rations to feed their population.   The circumstances are even more dire in India. Whil e other countries may see off this threat by reallocating resources into agriculture, the structural chang

Air Humidity & Air Temperature Control Quality & Quantity of Crop Yield

Image
  Humidity is important for photosynthesis of plants and e vaporation regulates the plant temperature through the open stomata. So, it is very important to keep the stomata of the plants open during irradiation for photosynthesis and absorb atmospheric carbon-di-oxide (CO 2 ) for the proper growth of the plants. If stomata are open, photosynthesis is possible at even low sunlight. Reduced evaporation of the plant also helps the plants to keep stomata open.   The stomata get closed incase the plants lose too much of water due to low humidity & high air temperature. Thus, plants stop photosynthesis and no CO 2  can be absorbed as the stomata are closed. T he closed stomata also increase the plant temperature very quickly and damage the plant. This excess heat may destroy the chlorophyll and the leaves turn yellow. If the heat increases further, it may leave behind permanent damages in various parts of the plants.   To keep stomata open, the humidity must be at the right lev
