Direct light Diffused light

What are the advantages of diffused light?
• Even and milder greenhouse climate;
• Lower plant-temperature;
• Healthier crop;
• More and even plant growth;
• Better production with higher quality;
Especially higher crops have an advantage, because the
light penetrates deeper to the lower leaves.

What is ReduFuse?

How does ReduFuse works?
ReduFuse is applied like a shading agent; complete even
layer on the greenhouse roof.
Direct solar radiation is converted to diffused light.
This means:
- No direct sunlight on fruits and leaves;
- Deeper penetration of light; plant is more active in lower
part.
ReduFuse can be removed with ReduClean at the end of
the season .

Why use ReduFuse?
- Availability: existing greenhouse glass can be changed
into (temporary) diffused glass;
- Flexibility: Only apply when diffused light is needed (e.g.
summer); In low light circumstances the coating can be
removed completely, so ‘natural light’ can get into the
greenhouse.
- Low cost; diffused light no longer means a huge
investment
