In this in-depth interview with director and researcher, Dr. Chieri Kubota and Mark Kroggel, at The Ohio State University's Controlled Environment Agriculture Research Center (CEARC), IKEUCHI Channel explores how precision environmental control impacts strawberry production in a research-driven growing environment.
From managing humidity fluctuations to understanding the importance of non-wetting humidification, this conversation highlights the challenges of maintaining optimal conditions—and how Dry Fog technology helps solve them.
They also discuss their experience transitioning from traditional high-pressure misting systems to the AKIMist®E Dry Fog system, including the impact of humidity instability on crop performance, the differences between misting and dry fog humidification, why non-wetting humidity is critical for disease prevention, measurable environmental and crop improvements, installation, integration, and maintenance experience, as well as long-term value and sustainability considerations.
