Never cook your plants again

Your roll-up sides open automatically following the temperature. No more risk of sneaky sunshine overheating the tunnel while you pick up your kid at school.

Increase sellable quality fruits

Gradually opening the sides prevents drastic temperature changes. They cause splitting and condensation that ruin shelf life.

Faster crop growth

Every time cold air hits tomatoes, they get stressed out and stop their growth for a few hours. Compounded during the whole season, these stops mean a big difference in revenue.

Free up time to save your harvests from weeds

No more back and forth when the weather changes.

Stop losing money to diseases

Powdery mildew is a profit killer. When it hits in July that can mean $5,000 less in your bank account at the end of the season. Same crap with other diseases.

Reduce fungicide use

Fungicides are expensive. They take hours to apply and nobody enjoy spraying them. Worse, you need to reapply every 4 days. Often with little success. A better way is to go proactive. Don’t give them the conditions to grow in the first place. Keep the humidity low.

Season extension

You invest in a greenhouse to extend the growing season. But, it's worthless if your tomatoes stop producing in September due to downy mildew. Allow them 2 more months of harvest with only 2 clicks.

Eliminate blossom-end rot for good 

Giving too much water at a time causes blossom-end rot. The solution is to divide the amount of water into many doses per day.

Get more veggies out of your greenhouse

While most folks see irrigation as a survival need, it’s more than that. It’s directly related to how much you can get out of your greenhouse. Not enough water and your plants can’t transpire. Too much and you’ll get sclerotinia rot as well as root issues. Adapting the irrigation to the sunlight is often a limiting factor for growers.

Get the tastiest fruit at your market

You want tasty fruits, you need potassium. Over-irrigation makes your tomatoes blend because it flushes away nutrients. On the other hand, too little water and cucumbers don’t get that juicy taste.

Crank your yields to 2500 lbs per bed

First rule to maximizing yields is to keep your plant balanced. Otherwise they will exhaust and give you tiny harvests at the end of the season. To avoid that, you need to adjust the temperature based on the day's sunlight. Your busy day probably doesn't allow you to do it but Orisha makes the gymnastics for you.

Get quality crops all season long

Orisha will ensure smooth transitions of temperature. With this, you'll prevent the damage caused by condensation and fruit splitting. Moreover, you’ll get better dehumidifying power to keep disease away from your crops !

Stop wasting costly propane

Your tomatoes don’t need the same warmth all the time. The more light your plant receives, the warmer it needs to be. In other words, when it’s cloudy, or at night, you should keep it 10°F colder. Doing that means economies of about $25/day in propane.

Stop losing yields to flower abortion

Every aborted cluster is at least 6$ down the drain. That means 600$/bed. One of the main causes of abortion is overheating. Make all your venting power contribute to keeping that money in your pocket.

Harvest 2 weeks earlier

Using roll-up sides during spring allows cold air to directly hit your baby crops. The resulting thermal shocks can delay your first harvest for 2 weeks. Using peak vents, exhaust fans and louvers gets the cold air to mix with the warmer indoor air before reaching your plants. The sides will still join in to prevent overheating when needed.

Stop wasting costly propane

Have you ever come back to your greenhouse while the exhaust fan and the heaters were running ? That’s just waste. It costs you money and it emits more CO₂ emissions. Let Orisha preemptively shut the vents to keep the warmth. Sometimes, it would even prevent the heater from kicking in.

Stop worrying about impending storms

Wind is a very localized phenomenon. When you are in town, you might not notice the storm hitting your farm.

Never be taken off guard

Gusts are sneaky. They can arrive quickly without you noticing. Given the repair costs of a peak vent, it's nice to know they close automatically at the first gust.

One more thing you won’t forget

We always feel bad when we forget something important. The reality is that you just have too much to remember it all. Sometimes, it doesn’t matter much. Other times, you can find your tunnel in your neighbor's yard.

Prevent diseases by keeping your leaves dry

Sclerotinia, botrytis, powdery mildew. They all thrive on wet leaves. The longer it’s wet, the more risks. That's why it’s even more dramatic when it rains at night.
