Humidity's effect on water uptake

摘要

In the summer, adjustments to the start and stop times of irrigation and the use of stable EC settings are required.The driving force behind water uptake is the transpiration. The biggest influencers on transpiration are light (45 per cent), humidity (35 per cent), and temperature(10 per cent). Big differences can be seen in transpiration and water uptake between different growing regions of the world with similar light levels, all due to the differences in humidity.Regions with lower humidity show more transpiration compared to regions of high humidity. Therefore, just giving water in summertime isn't always good; we still need to pay attention to the rate of transpiration to manage water content (WC) and EC correctly so that plant stresses are minimized.
