Maintaining the right temperature and humidity is vital for healthy plant growth in greenhouses. Even minor fluctuations can reduce photosynthesis, stunt development, and damage crops. Advanced IoT monitoring systems — such as the Multi-Sensor GPS UBITracer ZS-300L Temperature & Humidity Monitor — help growers maintain ideal conditions year-round, ensuring consistent yields and superior quality.
Ideal Greenhouse Temperature and Humidity
Successful greenhouse cultivation depends on precise environmental control:
Temperature: 18–24 °C (64–75 °F) from night to day
Relative Humidity (RH): around 80%, adjusted slightly by crop type
Maintaining ~80% RH supports efficient transpiration, nutrient uptake, and growth. However, excessive humidity can cause fungal diseases like botrytis and powdery mildew, leading to crop losses.
Why Continuous Monitoring Matters
Temperature and humidity in greenhouses fluctuate with sunlight, ventilation, and irrigation. Continuous monitoring enables growers to respond quickly and maintain a stable environment,
Temperature Control: Prevents overheating, protects photosynthesis efficiency, and ensures uniform growth.
Humidity Control: Reduces condensation, prevents fungal infections, and stabilizes transpiration.
UBITracer ZS-300L: Smart Environmental Monitoring
The UBITracer Multi-Sensor GPS ZS-300L is designed for real-time, reliable environmental tracking in demanding greenhouse conditions.
Key Features
High-precision sensors for accurate temperature and humidity data
Cloud-based monitoring and alerts for instant visibility
Adaptive reporting frequency — faster updates during fluctuations, slower when stable, balancing accuracy and battery life
Rugged, long-life design — waterproof, dustproof, and built for extended operation
With the ZS-300L, greenhouse managers gain actionable insights at a glance, minimizing manual checks and ensuring stable growth environments.
Temperature Control Strategies
To maintain an ideal temperature range (18–24 °C), consider the following approaches:
Optimal Location: Position greenhouses for full sun in winter and partial shade in summer.
Natural Ventilation: Use vents or fans to improve airflow and reduce heat buildup.
Ground-to-Air Heat Transfer Systems: Circulate air through underground pipes for natural cooling or heating.
Misting & Fogging Systems: Provide evaporative cooling while managing short-term humidity.
Water-Based Cooling: Use water tanks or roof sprays to absorb excess heat.
Humidity Control Strategies
To sustain ~80% RH and prevent diseases:
Smart Monitoring: Track humidity in real time with the ZS-300L and receive automatic alerts.
Proper Drainage: Use gravel or benches to avoid water accumulation.
Dehumidifiers & Fans: Maintain airflow and reduce moisture during peak periods.
Plant Arrangement: Group large leafy plants to shade soil, reducing evaporation.
Balanced Irrigation: Avoid excessive watering, which elevates humidity levels.
