## Discover the difference Reducing greenhouse and crop temperatures with groundcover

Svensson conducted a study at their U.S. headquarter to determine the differences of using white groundcover compared to traditional black groundcover. The study specifically explored if there would be any reduction in temperature and what the overall impact would be to the greenhouse climate and crop health.

 

In our "Discover the Difference" case study, we will explore the following:

- Benefits to growers with black and white groundcover
- Temperature differences in the climate and crops
- Real-world thermal imaging to demonstrate exact temperature differences
- Impact of groundcover color for hot climate growers
- Strategies for reducing greenhouse and crop temperatures

Instantly download the case study:

## By leveraging white groundcover, growers can significantly reduce the temperature in their greenhouse and benefit from:

Improved plant health

Improved light absorption

Homogeneous climate

Gentler work environment

## *Some growers are not aware that groundcover plays a big role in managing greenhouse and crop temperatures. In our study, we saw a temperature difference in the double digits for the white groundcover - it was much, much cooler.*
