Precision horticultural climate engineering parameters, solar Daily Light Integral (DLI) curves, seasonal thermal screen deployment strategy, and heating/cooling load calculations for Souss-Massa Valley (Agadir), Morocco (Hot Semi-Arid Atlantic (BSh)).
In Souss-Massa Valley (Agadir), Morocco, natural solar Daily Light Integral transitions from 20-26 mol/m²/day during winter solstice to 50-58 mol/m²/day at summer peak. For commercial crops like Early Season Round Tomato, Cherry Tomato, Pepper, target canopy DLI requires dynamic screen management to avoid photoinhibition during midday radiation spikes exceeding 850 W/m².
Screen Specification: Insect Barrier Screen (50-mesh) + Thermal Diffuse Poly
Primary Cooling Strategy: Canary-type High-Volume Natural Air Exchange
Maintaining positive day-night temperature differential (DIF) and nighttime dehumidification minimizes condensation on cold structural glass surfaces, suppressing Botrytis and powdery mildew spore viability.
Major protected cropping varieties grown at scale in this regional cluster: Early Season Round Tomato, Cherry Tomato, Pepper.
