Condensation can make a negative contribution to reducing the quality of the harvest, since high humidity is harmful to plants.

As a result, an ideal environment is created for the “flourishing” of pathogenic flora.

However, condensation does not occur on its own: a compelling reason is needed for it to appear, reminds landscape designer and agronomist Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert for the online publication BelNovosti.

What are the 3 most common reasons?

Lack of adequate ventilation

It is important to understand that for the correct functioning of the greenhouse it is important to think through adequate ventilation. Remember that doors are not used for ventilation.

Basically, this task is performed by vents and openings in the ceiling.

Watering

If you use too much water or choose the wrong time for the procedure, you may encounter a problem with condensation.

Therefore, it is best to water in the morning.

Planting density

Many summer residents want to grow as many crops as possible, but do not forget that this will affect the yield. Therefore, do thinning in a timely manner.

As a rule, there should not be more than three plants per square meter.
