In recent years, irrigation in Idromeccanica Lucchini has experienced a real evolution. A virtuous path that bears a very specific signature: Simone Gatta, who has been the deus ex machina of this qualitative leap for a couple of years now.
Starting with traditional irrigation systems, Lucchini has expanded its scope by introducing innovative, high value-added solutions: automation, fertigation, advanced water management and, as always, a holistic agronomic approach and tailor made, built on the real needs of the customer.
Today this path is enriched with a new piece in the agritech mosaic: greenhouse misting, a technology that is as effective as it is complex, representing a step forward in Lucchini’s ability to offer comprehensive and intelligent solutions.
Greenhouse spraying: when it is really a winning choice
Misting is not simply “watering from above”-it is a climate strategy that, if designed correctly, can make a difference in plant well-being and in greenhouse management.
In fact, modern irrigation systems make it possible to integrate multiple functions into a single system. The same lines and valves used for water supply to the plant can be used, in the greenhouse, for climate control.
The principle is physical and natural:
water, in order to go from the liquid to the gaseous state, needs calories, which it recovers from the surrounding environment; this heat subtraction allows the greenhouse’s internal temperature to be lowered.
Open stomata = more efficient plants
One of the most interesting effects of misting is the physiological impact on the plant. By reducing heat stress, in fact, it promotes the maintenance of open stomata.
Stomata are microscopic openings found on leaves that are essential for:
- transpiration
- gas exchanges
- CO₂ absorption.
When temperatures are too high, the plant tends to close them to defend itself, but it also slows down vital processes. With a more balanced microclimate, on the other hand, the plant can continue to work efficiently and the leaf blade expresses its full potential.
Simple or multi-tunnel greenhouse: tailor-made solutions
As we always say, there is no “standard” solution.
The design changes according to the type of greenhouse:
- Simple greenhouses
Even in less complex structures, effective misting systems designed to improve climatic comfort can be implemented without invasive intervention or prohibitive costs. - Multi-tunnel greenhouses or complex structures
Here more intricate systems come into play, with humidity probes, sensors and fully automated systems; capable of managing misting dynamically and precisely, reacting in real time to environmental conditions.
In both cases, the added value remains the same: customized design and intelligent integration of technologies.
An approach that goes beyond implantation
Greenhouse spraying is not just a new technology, but yet another confirmation of the direction taken by Idromeccanica Lucchini:
not selling simple systems, but complete solutions, built around the customer and supported by a solid agronomic vision.
With this new building block, Lucchini continues on its growth path, turning complexity into opportunity and innovation into concrete results.
