A multilayered polymeric film for covering an agricultural structure or greenhouse is described herein, wherein the film contains adjacent layers that are capable of delamination from one another. A method of covering an agricultural structure or greenhouse with the multilayered polymeric film can comprise inserting gas between adjacent layers of the film.

A daylight redirecting window film formed by a flexible multi-layer film laminate with a total thickness of less than one millimeter and configured to be applied to an indoor-facing window surface of a building facade. The window film includes a pair of outer film substrates flanking a light redirecting core layer. The core layer includes a parallel array of channels defining total internal reflection (TIR) surfaces and linear optically transmissive structures protruding transversely thought the core layer and bonded to the outer film substrates. A light output surface of the outer film substrate which is disposed on an indoor-facing side of the laminate includes a two-dimensional pattern of light scattering microstructures which are configured to spread light at least in a plane that is perpendicular to the channels. The TIR surfaces intercept and reflect a portion of sunlight propagating through the core layer such that the window film redirects that portion of incident sunlight towards a plurality of divergent directions, forming relatively high bend angles.

An improved greenhouse structure having sides and a roof to define at least a partially enclosed space, with an interior ceiling section and the interior ceiling section being at least substantially transparent. An air channel is formed between the roof and the interior ceiling section with an air input device in fluid communication with the air channel and the interior ceiling section has one or more openings through it to allow air in the air channel to pass through and into the enclosed growing space to provide a top-down air conditioned effect.

The present invention relates to a polymeric greenhouse cover comprising halloysite nanotubes (HNT) loaded with a pesticide substance and optionally a pheromone, its production method, a greenhouse comprising said cover, its use in the manufacture of a greenhouse and a plant cultivation method applied with said greenhouse.

The present invention relates to a coated polyester film equipped on at least one side with permanent antifog coating. The film of the invention is suitable for the production of greenhouse blinds, and has specific transparency properties, permanent antifog properties and high UV resistance. The invention further relates to processes for the production of the polyester film of the invention, and also to use thereof.

High-growth plant cultivation techniques are provided that create efficient, optimized growing conditions, including a high concentration of photosynthetically active radiation (“PAR”) in terms of photon flux density, and with extremely low heat. In some aspects of the invention, these techniques comprise a specialized growth chamber and a control system that promote an enhanced level of growth, particularly for autoflowering cannabis. In addition, aspects of the invention create an accessible, user-friendly, aesthetically pleasing new type of display for a plant, ideal for cultivating cannabis and, in particular, autoflowering cannabis. The unique combination of techniques set forth in the invention create high yields of cannabis plant matter (up to 3 or 4 times greater than other methods) in substantially less time (just 60 days from seed to harvest).

In one aspect, the disclosure relates to compositions comprising a surface-modified phosphor material comprising a phosphor material and a silane, methods of making same, and articles comprising same. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present disclosure.

The present invention relates to greenhouse screens comprising strips of film material that are interconnected by a yarn system of longitudinal threads and transverse threads by means of a knitting, warp-knitting or weaving process to form a continuous product. At least 50% of the strips comprise a single- or multi-layer polyester film having a transparency of at least 92%, wherein the polyester film has a first and a second surface, wherein a permanent antifog coating has been applied to at least one of the first or second surfaces of the polyester film. The antifog coating comprises at least one water-soluble polymer, an inorganic hydrophilic material and a crosslinker, wherein the water-soluble polymer is a polyvinyl alcohol or a hydrophilic amorphous copolymer. Furthermore, the present disclosure relates to production processes of the coated polyester film and its use for the production of energy-saving screens having excellent antifogging effect in greenhouses.

The agricultural greenhouse of the invention and the plant cultivation method using the same can cultivate plants economically and efficiently with less energy per crop yield, as it is provided with a CO.sub.2 supply means, a heat-ray shielding means, and a dehumidification and cooling means, the heat-ray shielding means is formed of using a heat-ray reflecting film, and plural through holes are formed in the heat-ray shielding means. The heat-ray reflecting film structure can cultivate plants by the agricultural greenhouse utilizing sunlight economically and efficiently as it has a structure that narrow band-shaped tapes obtained by cutting a multi-layer laminated film made by laminating at least two kinds of resin layers with different refractive indices alternately and having an average transmittance at 80% or more for visible light and an average reflectance at 70% or more for heat-ray is woven or knitted as a warp or a weft.

The present invention relates to a composition at least comprising: A) a first N-alkoxy amine in a first amount; B) 3 wt.-% or more of a second N-alkoxy amine structurally different form the first N-alkoxy amine; and a balance to 100 of further constituents; wherein the amount of the first N-alkoxy amine is higher than the amount of the second N-alkoxy amine; wherein the molecular weight of the first N-alkoxy amine is less than the molecular weight of the second N-alkoxy amine; wherein the composition has a viscosity in the range from 15,000 to 70,000 mPa*s at 20° C. The present invention relates further to a process of manufacturing an article, such as a foil, comprising said composition, an article comprising said composition and/or obtainable by said process, a mulch foil, a greenhouse and greenhouse foil comprising said article, an article comprising a coating comprising said composition, a process for producing plants wherein said article is employed and a use of said composition as a UV stabilizer and/or flame retardant.
