[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Muan County, Jeollanam-do (Governor Kim San) announced on the 5th that it will distribute temperature reduction technology to prevent growth disorders such as flowering and fertilization failure and reduced photosynthesis caused by abnormal high temperatures like global warming and heatwaves.

The new technology distribution project, "Temperature Reduction Technology for Facility Vegetables Responding to Abnormal High Temperatures," will be supported as a pilot project to the Samhyang-eup Facility Vegetable Research Association (President Kang Seong-wook).

The fog spray smart facility, installed on a scale of 0.9 hectares, is effective in preventing heat damage and growth disorders in facility vegetables through temperature reduction technologies such as air fog, shading agents, and aluminum screens.

During the high-temperature summer period, even if the greenhouse is ventilated, the temperature reaches 35 to 40℃, causing crops to experience stress, resulting in flowering and fertilization failure and reduced photosynthesis, leading to growth disorders.

With the distribution of this temperature reduction technology, the temperature inside the facility during high-temperature periods decreases by 5 to 10℃ and humidity increases by 28%, allowing temperature control to an appropriate level even during high temperatures. This is expected to not only increase yield and improve quality but also enable pest control with the fog spray smart facility, reducing the number of labor operations and time.

A Muan County official stated, "As summer heat intensifies, we will do our best to introduce new technologies to ensure stable crop production even during high-temperature periods."
