☀️ Solar Radiation & Photobiology Optimization

In Bogotá Savanna, Colombia, natural solar Daily Light Integral transitions from 30-36 (12h constant) mol/m²/day during winter solstice to 30-36 (12h constant) mol/m²/day at summer peak. For commercial crops like Export Cut Rose, Carnation, Alstroemeria, target canopy DLI requires dynamic screen management to avoid photoinhibition during midday radiation spikes exceeding 850 W/m².

🛡️ Recommended Thermal & Shade Screen Specification

Screen Specification: Night Thermal Screen for Frost & Botrytis Prevention

Primary Cooling Strategy: Passive Roof Butterfly Vents

Maintaining positive day-night temperature differential (DIF) and nighttime dehumidification minimizes condensation on cold structural glass surfaces, suppressing Botrytis and powdery mildew spore viability.

🌿 Dominant Commercial Production Crops

Major protected cropping varieties grown at scale in this regional cluster: Export Cut Rose, Carnation, Alstroemeria.
