Micro Climate

                                                        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 t...

SOIL MOISTURE

Why Water for Plants is Important? Water is crucial to all forms of life, even the most hardy desert plants need water. Do you know how water plays an important role for plants? Water helps in the germination of seeds. It helps in the process of photosynthesis by which plants prepare their food . Water maintain the plant structure by providing the appropriate pressure to the plant tissues. Water is an excellent solvent, it also acts as a reagent in various reactions in plant cells. During the metabolism reactions, the inner temperature of the plant rises and the water stream flowing throughout the plant body acts as a coolant and maintains the  temperature. Plants take their nutrients from soil only in soluble   form therefore soil water is essential for the survival of the plants.                                 So without the p...
