Know-how
Mardenkro’s ReduSystems products are global leaders when it comes to regulating greenhouse climate. For many years ReduSystems has been at the forefront of innovation. In 2004 ReduHeat won the Horti Fair Innovation Award.
In 2011 an international expert jury judged ReduFuse to be the most innovative product at the exhibition, so once again we went home with the Innovation Award. We can’t innovate just by ourselves. Together with worldwide leading research centres, universities and growers, we continuously develop new products and test them in practice. Only products with proven added value are included in the ReduSystems family.
AntiCondens for glass allows significantly more light into the greenhouse
Tomato grower Paul van Paassen is the first in the Netherlands to use the coating AntiCondens for glass. “It clearly leads to more light inside,” he says.

Daily light integral should be guide for optimal vegetable production
Radiation is an important factor for good climate control. In addition, the daily light integral is important for the crop.

The colour of light is important
The colour of light affects the efficiency of photosynthesis but also growth and development. It is becoming more and more possible to work with these facts.
How does the colour of light influence growth?
Bumblebees benefit from coating on the roof
Bumblebees don't like extreme temperatures. Therefore, if the roof is coated they often function better and that improves their effectiveness.

Preventing light loss and disease in plastic greenhouses
Condensation on the greenhouse roof is the result of air dehumidification. In plastic greenhouses steps need to be taken to prevent the condensation from causing problems.

Better quality with ReduFuse-coatings
The ReduFuse and ReduFuse IR coatings not only ensure that vegetable crops yield more, they also lead to a considerable improvement in quality: Less blossom end rot in cherry tomatoes and sweet peppers, no anthocyanin formation in yellow peppers and more productive high wire cucumbers. Read more ->
Plants prefer uniform climate
Occasional light stress makes ornamental plants stronger. But generally speaking, plants prefer uniformity.
Pay attention to generative or vegetative growth
Steering the crop towards vegetative or generative growth requires constant attention.Crop consultant Wim van Wingerden explains the possibilities.
Low-growing ornamental crops benefit from diffused light
Low-growing ornamental crops such as potted plants and gerbera perform better under diffused light. The micro-climate around the plants is more even, and the light penetrates better into the crop.
Diffused light virtually always better
All fruit-bearing vegetable crops benefit from diffuse light. The total photosynthesis increases through better light penetration and reduced heat stress. More about trial results diffuse light.
