field and reversion to vegetative growth is therefore even more likely to occur. To solve this problem, we designed a high-bench strawberry culture system that uses the latent heat of water evaporation to cool the culture medium ( Ikeda et al., 2006

fruit and irrigation water. A simple energy balance model was likewise used to predict potential water use during evaporative cooling in wine grape ( Caravia et al., 2017 ). In this study, we developed an energy balance model specifically for northern

droplets of water that evaporate quickly. Currently, there are many questions regarding the use of microsprinklers to reduce heat damage in northern highbush blueberry, including the temperature at which cooling is needed. Most growers focus their efforts

, ventilation, and evaporative cooling affect the greenhouse microclimate ( Kittas et al., 2001 ), demonstrating that shading ( Baille et al., 2001 ) and evaporative cooling ( Katsoulas et al., 2009 ) are effective in relieving greenhouse heat load under dry and

strategy just as overvine sprinkling in late winter during unseasonably warm weather to delay budbreak is a passive strategy. It is possible to use sprinkling for “evaporative cooling” on days in late winter that are unseasonably warm such as occurred in

., 2009 ; Lantz et al., 2010 ; Roos and Jones, 2016 ). Evaporative cooling or the technique of supplemental irrigation by microjet or sprinkler in addition to drip tape during plant propagation or at planting has shown to delay flowering and increase

during the 10 years of the study. Fruit red color was improved in 5 of 10 years by the PF treatments; similar fruit color responses have been reported ( Glenn et al., 2005 ). Evaporative cooling increases dry matter partitioning to fruit and increases

in urban landscapes by providing beauty, shade, and cooling ( McPherson et al., 1989 ), but they also can consume significant amounts of water ( Pataki et al., 2011 ). In Los Angeles, it is estimated that trees cover more than 13,000 ha, totaling more

.2 m and 3.7 m, respectively. A fan-and-pad evaporative cooling system and an overhead heating system were used to control air temperature of the greenhouse when it was greater than 25 °C during the day or cooler than 15 °C at night. Air temperature
