In agriculture, controlling humidity is a key factor in maintaining product quality. Appropriate humidity levels not only preserve the nutritional value of products but also prevent the negative impacts of high humidity on workers' health and machinery. This article provides information on safe and modern drying and humidity control solutions that help optimize production efficiency in agriculture.

The Importance of Humidity in Agriculture

Humidity plays a critical role, as improper control can lead to degraded product quality. High humidity levels can easily cause mold and bacterial growth, leading to spoilage and lower product quality.

For Crops

Promotes Fungal and Bacterial Diseases: High humidity creates an ideal environment for diseases like powdery mildew, downy mildew, and leaf blight. It can also foster bacterial infections and pest infestations, hindering plant growth and reducing yields.

High humidity negatively affects plants

Affects Photosynthesis and Nutrient Absorption: High humidity can cause plants to close their stomata, reducing carbon dioxide intake needed for photosynthesis, leading to slower growth and lower productivity. Prolonged high humidity may also result in waterlogged soil and root diseases, impairing nutrient absorption and overall plant health.

For Production and Storage

Encourages Mold and Bacterial Growth: High humidity facilitates mold and bacteria growth, compromising quality and producing toxins harmful to human health. Fruits and vegetables, if not dried or stored at proper humidity levels, quickly decay, reducing their commercial value and causing physical changes.

Wind-Dried persimmons:

Wind-dried persimmons are a renowned specialty of Da Lat. However, their production often faces challenges due to the rainy season and consistently high humidity in the area. High humidity can cause mold, decay, and longer drying times, impacting hygiene and product quality. To preserve wind-dried persimmons effectively, they should be stored at a standard humidity level of 50-60%.

Dried fruits:

Proper drying methods ensure high-quality, uniformly dried fruits. Maintaining suitable humidity levels during storage helps preserve flavor and quality, extending shelf life and preventing spoilage. Dried fruits should ideally be stored at humidity levels between 10-25%.

Coffee:

Humidity is crucial in determining the flavor and quality of coffee. High humidity promotes mold growth and bacterial development, while low humidity causes the coffee to dry out, losing its aroma and taste. The recommended humidity levels for coffee vary: green coffee beans should be stored at 10-12%, parchment coffee at 9-12.5%, and roasted coffee at 3-5%.

Tea:

Humidity control during tea production and storage is vital to maintain its quality. High or low humidity can result in loss of flavor or mold growth. Tea should be stored at humidity levels below 60% to prevent quality degradation and ensure consumer safety.

Why Use Dehumidifiers for Drying and Humidity Control in Agriculture?

Benefits of Dehumidifiers in Drying Processes

Dehumidifiers speed up the drying process, reducing costs and ensuring even moisture levels. This method preserves the natural aroma, color, and nutritional value of agricultural products.

Combined with drying systems, dehumidifiers reduce energy consumption by eliminating the need for continuous high temperatures. They also enable year-round production independent of weather conditions. Dehumidifiers prevent moisture-induced rust on equipment, lowering maintenance costs.
