A Brief History
In its early years, our firm operated greenhouses in Ancaster,
Ontario and pioneered commercial production of vegetables
using soilless media. As the practice of growing without soil
evolved, the greenhouse landscape changed and growers
experimented with substrates ranging from pebbles to peat,
sawdust to perlite, NFT to rockwool. During these years, CHL
transitioned from plant production to greenhouse supplies and
further to greenhouse systems.
Today, as a full line distributor, we represent a great number of
quality greenhouse product lines from worldscale
manufacturers. We have become a major player in a vibrant
and technologically advanced horticulture industry, which
enjoys an enviable reputation here at home and around the
world. Our customers are knowledgeable men and women,
many 2nd and 3rd generation participants, earning their living
as growers and independent business owners.
We are proud to be part of the collective effort and process that
defines the horticultural segment of Canada's sizeable
agricultural industry. In the pages of our new catalog that
follow, it is our sincere hope that you continue to find materials
and equipment that will help you grow your crops as efficiently
and as bountifully as possible. Your success is our success. If,
at the end of each season, your experience with us has been
rewarding, we are accomplishing our goal of contributing
positively to your well-being.
We wish you success, on-going. We truly thank you for your
past patronage and we pledge our continued best efforts to
earn our keep as a trusted supplier.

Recommendations
Recommendations made by our staff are given in good faith
and are based on documented research and empirical findings
from reputable sources. Information is conveyed without
liability in an effort to be helpful. There is no, nor could there
be, any representation with respect to crop performance or
yield, sales volume or sales revenue. You ultimately are
responsible for your crop. You or your designate live and work
with your crop day to day. If you do not, you will not be a
successful grower and we will not be your scapegoat. If you
therefore are, or plan to be, an absentee grower/manager, we
respectfully suggest that you seek other commercial
opportunities.
Technology Implementation
We continue to work towards increased use of technology to
liberate staff from the burden of paper-driven tasks so that they
can concentrate on serving customers. To this end, we are
constantly upgrading our inventory control system to reduce
incidences of back order and to equip us to answer stock
position and price inquiries over the phone. We believe that
small improvements such as these are important in sustaining
customer satisfaction and loyalty, and in enhancing
technological implementation going forward.

Greenhouse Screening
Screening your vents helps to exclude
insects from your greenhouse. Advantages
to screening include reduced need to spray
and reduced exposure to pesticides. It can
reduce the risk of insect-transmitted
disease by excluding such insects as
Thrips, Whiteflies and Cucumber Beetles.
Insect Barrier
Insect barrier is a long-life plastic filter (7 micron), 3/8" thick,
with a net backing and fibre face. Use it over vents, shutters or
cooling pads. Resistance to airflow is less than 0.1 W.G. static
pressure at 1250 cfm. It keeps insect pests out and beneficial
insects in.
Given the increased problems and costs associated with
pesticides, no modern greenhouses should be without the
proper insect barrier. Green-Tek Insect Screens, correctly
installed, prevent insect penetration, yet provide maximum
possible air flow, essential for optimal crop yields.
Regardless of the cooling and ventilating system that you use,
you need to consider insect screen. Screening intake vents
will produce dramatic results, but all greenhouse openings,
including service doors (which should incorporate double
screened doors), should be screened for best results.
ANTI-VIRUS Insect Screen excludes Whitefly, Aphids,
Leafminers and up to 80% of Western Flower Thrips in field
applications. Several years of laboratory and field testing have
resulted in a patented screen structure that maximizes air
circulation, while keeping pests out. Special equipment has
been developed to ensure hole size accuracy, and a 0.24 mm
diameter yarn is used, which is 45% stronger with greater UV
resistance, compared to 0.20 mm diameter standard yarns.
NO-THRIPS Insect Screen is designed to exclude Thrips and
other pests, and is the material of choice where Thrips
exclusion is priority.

Installation
Installation
1.
Check that the frame, structure or wall to which the insect
screen will be fastened is as square as possible, to
eliminate twisting or shortage of fabric.
4.
2.
Metal parts should not touch the screen. In the summer,
heat accumulates in metal parts, and might damage the
plastic screen. Therefore, it is important to cover metal
parts with white water based latex paint or white tape to
protect the screen.
3.
When you install the screen, keep the screen square and
parallel to the sides of the greenhouse. This will keep the
fibers of the screen parallel. If the fibers are not parallel to
the greenhouse sides, the screen will be shortened in
length and in width.
When you install several screens together which have not
been stitched, you should connect the first screen to the
sides of the greenhouse. Then, connect the second
screen to the first one and to the greenhouse sides.
Continue in that way until the entire greenhouse is
covered.

Biological Control
Aphid Control
Aphidius colemani
Bumble Bees (Natural Pollination)
Most tomato and pepper
growers are now using
bumble bees to pollinate
their plants.
The new
bumble bee hives have an
automatic feeding system,
making them essentially
maintenance free.
Advantages:
- pollination 7 days a week
- no requirement for special environmental conditions
- no staff training
- improved fruit shape and enhanced yield
Beneficial Insects
Beneficial insects are fast gaining popularity
with greenhouse growers around the world.
Biological control offers savings to the
grower through reduced labour and
pesticide costs. Growers using biological
control instead of chemical control can market
their product as "insecticide free" and command a higher price.
This is a black parasitic wasp that
parasitizes Cotton Aphid and Greenpeach Aphid.
Use when aphid
infestations are beginning.
The
parasitized aphid swells and hardens
into a leathery grey/brown coloured
mummy. The adult parasitic wasp
emerges through a round hole at the
rear of the mummy. The first mummies
can be seen in the crop approximately 2
weeks after the first introduction. Temperature should not be
greater than 30°C. Spread material on rockwool slabs or in
application boxes.

Canadian HydroGardens Ltd. distributes biological control
agents and bumble bees produced by Biobest Biological
Systems.
A fragile gall midge with long legs. For
use on a wide range of aphid species.
Recommended when aphid colonies
are present. Adult gall midges are
active at night and are attracted to aphid
colonies by the smell of honeydew.
Eggs are deposited in the aphid
colonies. Larvae paralyze the aphids
and suck out their contents. Night
temperature must be above 16°C for
egg laying to occur. High relative humidities give better results.
Aphidoletes pupate in the soil. When the soil is covered with
plastic, population build up cannot take place. Place material
in piles of 10cc on the rockwool opposite the dripper or in a
humid place on the ground. The material must be introduced
weekly until control is achieved. Protect against ants.
Release rates for each beneficial insect are based on the area
of the greenhouse. However, these rates may vary from one
application to another depending on the level of infestation.
Pricing of beneficial insects is volume dependent.
inquire for pricing.
Please
Important Ordering Details
Biobest biological insect orders must be received by Thursday
at 12:00 noon and will be delivered by courier the following
Tuesday or Wednesday. Bumble bees can be shipped on
Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays for one to two day

BIOLOGICAL CONTROL
Aphid Bank
Hypoaspis Miles
A banker plant system
consisting of a box
containing growing barley
shoots with approximately
500 grain aphids as starter
food supply for Aphidius
spp. This system is
effective below 30°C. On
each aphid bank a large
population of aphidius will
form. The aphidius that
emerge from the banker
plant system will actively
search for aphids in the
crop. The result is that
aphid infestation levels
remain low in the crop due
to the continuous presence of large quantities of aphidius in
the greenhouse. Low maintenance and very efficient when set
up in a hanging basket and provided with a dripper.
Hypoaspis adults and
larvae eat all stages of
fungus gnats (preferring
smaller larvae),
thrip
pupae, collembola and
nematodes. The mites
can be observed at the
base of the plant stems, in
and on the soil.
Soil
temperature must be a
minimum of 15°C with an
open structure. Slow but
steady reduction of the
infestation level will occur
in a crop that has an
existing
fungus
gnat
population. Best used as
a preventative just after seeding or transplant. Hypoaspis will
remain in the soil for the duration of the crop. Do not apply a
pesticide soil drench to the crop at any time after application of
Hypoaspis.

Fungus Gnat Control
Steinernema
Feltiae
An
entomopathogenic
nematode that is applied
to the soil as a drench.
Steinernema enters the
fungus gnat larvae via
mouth, anus or respiratory
openings and starts to
feed. This causes specific
bacteria to emerge from
the intestinal tract of the
nematode. These spread
inside the insect, multiply
very rapidly and convert
host tissue into products that can easily be taken up by the
nematodes. The fungus gnat larvae dies within a few days.
The infected larvae change colour from yellow to light brown
and become slimy. Hence they are difficult to observe in the
soil. Soil temperature must be between 13 and 25°C, soil
humidity content must be high. (Keep soil moist for the first
two weeks after application.)

Atheta Coriaria
The predatory beetle
Atheta coriaria is an
extremely voracious and
efficient predator of some
of the most troublesome
soil insects such as
fungus gnats, shore flies
as well as the very
damaging western flower
thrips. Except for the egg
and pupa stages, all
stages of of Atheta actively
search for prey. Because
of their flight capability, adults can travel through a
greenhouse, which ensures good distribution and fast
population development. Total development time from egg to
adult takes approximately three weeks at 25°C. After that
period the adult predatory beetle will be active for
approximately three weeks. Atheta-system can be applied to
different media (compost, rockwool, coconut fibre) by
distributing the content of one package (250 beetles) into 5 to
10 piles.

Note: Shore flies look very similar to fungus gnats. Shore flies
are attracted by pools of standing water, especially when algae
is present. Clean up pools of standing water and algae to treat
a shore fly problem.
BIOLOGICAL CONTROL
Spider Mite Control
Phytoseiulus persimilis*
Persimilis is a bright red
predatory mite for control of Two
Spotted spider mite. It will also
eat Carmine spider mite, but it
must have a Two Spotted spider
mite diet for survival. Adults and
nymph persimilis actively search
for all stages (preferring younger stages) of their prey and suck
them dry. Relative humidity should be greater than 75% and

Orius Insidiosus
Eretmocerus spp.
A small black beetle with grey,
white or brown sections on its
wings.
Nymphs range from
yellow with orange spots to dark
brown. Adults and nymphs pierce
thrip larvae and adults and suck
them dry. Temperature range is
17 to 29°C, relative humidity at 60
- 80%. Will diapause when the
day length is less than 14 hours. Orius are quite aggressive
and voracious, but can be used safely with cucumeris and
degenerans. Orius lay a large number of eggs in side shoots,
so introduce Orius shortly after they have been removed.
Apply Orius in groups of 25 - 50 to encourage mating.
Yellow adult parasitic wasp for use
on Greenhouse and Silverleaf
whitefly larvae. All whitefly pupae
turn yellow, emerging from the
parasitized scale in about 2 - 3
weeks. Eretmocerus may also
feed on whitefly. The 24 hour average temperature in the
greenhouse should be at least 20°C. Eretmocerus is
recommended for use in higher greenhouse temperature
environments, as Eretmocerus remains active at temperatures
above 30°C. It takes about 1 week for Eretmocerus to emerge
from introduced scales. Sprinkle on rockwool slabs or place in
application boxes.

Encarsia Formosa
A black adult parasitic wasp for
use on larvae of Greenhouse and
Silverleaf whitefly (formerly
Sweet Potato Whitefly). After the
whitefly larvae stage have been
parasitized, the whitefly pupae
stage turns black or brown. The darkened whitefly pupae are
then referred to as "parasitized scales". The adult Encarsia
emerges from the parasitized scale in about 2 - 3 weeks.
Encarsia may also feed on whitefly. The 24 hour average
temperature in the greenhouse should be at least 17°C for
parasitization to take place.
On cards
For a practical and optimal distribution in the greenhouse
Encarsia pupae are stuck on cards. Each card contains at
least 100 pupae, which lay in a deep groove protected against
damage during distribution and manipulation. Shortly after
hanging the cards in the crop, adult Encarsia emerge and start
looking for whiteflies.
Combination Encarsia Formosa &
Eretmocerus spp.
An effective two-pronged attack against Greenhouse and
Silverleaf whitefly that enables the introduction of both whitefly

High production with large fruits are the
main characteristics of this variety.
Most seeds are treated.
Tomato,
cucumber, pepper and eggplant seeds
are sold by count; lettuce is sold by
weight.
In order to protect the freshness and
quality of your seed, we will not accept
the return of seed unless arranged prior
to sale. As you the customer will
appreciate, this ensures that you always
get fresh seed that has been stored at
the correct temperature.
All seed is sold by numbered lots,
therefore any problems will be dealt with
by lot numbers. For instance, if only one
customer has a problem with
germination of a particular lot number
that many growers have purchased, this
would indicate a problem with growing
conditions and not the seed. It is wise
for growers to record lot numbers when
seeding.

What is a Chelated
Micronutrient?
Chelating agents such as EDTA,
DTPA and HEDTA are large
organic structures that form a
complex with micronutrients. This
complex forms a larger chelated
ion that reduces the ability of the
micronutrient to react with the
soil, making the micronutrient
more available for plant uptake.
The chelating agent keeps the
micronutrient in solution even
when the soil pH is higher than
desired for a specific crop. Plants
are able to absorb chelates very
easily and there is less chance of
burning plant roots than if
sulphates were used instead. All
chelates are completely soluble
individual metal complexes for
use in correcting deficiencies or
for custom mixing nutrient
solutions.

Soilless Feed
High Phosphate
This formula meets the needs of growers who are using
soilless growing media. It contains magnesium, as well as an
increased level of molybdenum in combination with the other
five micronutrients. This formulation will supply sufficient
nutrients to overcome most deficiency problems normally
associated with soilless mixes.
Plant-Prod High Phosphate Fertilizer
is ideal for Hydrangeas since the
high phosphorus content ties up
excess aluminum in the soil which
causes a strong pink colouration in
the blooms. Acid-loving plants such
as African Violets respond well to this
formulation due to its high potential
acidity.
Over 55% of the nitrogen is in the nitrate form which is
preferable for soilless mixes. It is recommended for crops
which require a high nitrate nitrogen content such as Bedding
Plants, Easter Lilies, Poinsettias, and Chrysanthemums.
15 kg CHL Item No ........................................................750310
This formula is recommended when
higher phosphorus levels are required:
Pot Plant Special
• during the early stages of crop growth, such as required by

Rhododendrons, and many evergreens. The nitrogen is
provided in an ideal ratio of ammonium to urea for Azaleas.
• when irrigation water has a high pH, 21-7-7 will help to
overcome the effect of the bicarbonate ions in the media and
gradually reduce the pH for better growth of bedding plants,
pot crops, cut flowers, and nursery stock in containers and
in the field.
15 kg CHL Item No ........................................................750344
High Nitrogen
Crops such as cut flowers, container nursery stock and field
grown vegetables respond well to this formula.
As well, it is very suitable for foliar feeding due to its very low
salt index and high level of urea nitrogen.
28-14-14 is recommended for Orchids and many woody
ornamentals because of its acid forming tendencies, resulting
from its very high potential acidity. This formula is designed:

Grodan Products
Growing Blocks
Since its development as a horticultural medium in Denmark in
1969, Grodan stonewool has become the most used
hydroponic growing medium throughout the world.
Top quality horticultural stonewool products are made from
basalt or diabase rock in conjunction with other amendments.
The process by which stonewool products are made involves
very high temperatures in excess of 1600°C. This renders the
product both chemically and biologically inert and creates the
ideal growing medium for producing vigorous vegetable and
fruit plants, and vibrant flowers. Horticultural stonewool
growing medium is primarily available in the following formats:
slabs, blocks, plugs and cubes.
Featuring improved grooves at the base to promote better
drainage, these growing blocks are
used for direct sowing of macro and
multiblock raised plants. AO36/40
plugs fit well into the hole sizes
provided by the blocks. The
blocks can then be place on top
of a slab to provide for a larger
growing volume. Hugo blocks
are the largest growing block. It
provides enough growing volume
to support a larger plant, so it does
not need to be placed on top of a slab.
Propagation Plugs and Blocks
AO Multiplugs are perhaps the most commonly used
propagation choice for both seeds and cuttings. Macroplugs
are especially made for stem cuttings. Miniblocks provide
space for larger root volumes.

GRODAN PRODUCTS
Growing Slabs
Growcubes
The final stage of planting with growing blocks are the Grodan
slabs. There are three slab types available in a variety of sizes.
These slabs come in clearly marked UV resistant poly sleeves
for ease of use.
Growcubes lend themselves to practically any growing system:
ebb and flood, aeroponic, drip irrigation, or just top watering
with a watering can. It can be used for houseplants,
vegetables, aquatic plants, flowers, bonsai, cactus and other
plants.
The renowned Eric Young Orchid Foundation
recommends its use for orchids.
Grodan Expert is the slab that drains the fastest because of its
vertical fibers. By far the most popular slab for the hydroponic
hobbyist market.
Grodan Classic is the slab that stays wetter because of its
horizontal fibers. Best for hot climates and situations where
watering less is a factor.
Grodan Master is a special wet/dry slab. The top layer is
thicker, which stays wetter, while the bottom layer stays drier.
In effect it defies gravity, allowing more even distribution of
moisture throughout the slab.

Normiska Perlite
Perlite is not a trade name but a
generic term for a naturally occurring
siliceous rock. The distinguishing
feature, which sets it apart from other
volcanic glasses, is that when heated
in our high tech furnaces to a suitable
point in its softening range, it expands
from 4 to 20 times its original volume,
much like a kernel of popcorn.
Pargro Rockwool
The material becomes very light
weight and is capable of holding many
times its weight in water.
It is
chemically inert making it an ideal soil
augmentation product as well as an
ideal sterile starting compound for
seedlings. Additionally, due to its
remarkable ability to retain fluids, it
has a wide market as a filtering
material.
It is fire resistant and has excellent insulating properties. It is
available in 4 cu.ft. bags and in many grades but the common
ones we stock are below.
Fine Grade Perlite CHL Item No ....................................720100

remove the salt and other impurities. Coir is a coarse fibrous
material which lends itself to potting and gives a
light aerating environment for your
plants. It is sold in 50
kg. bags or in preformed slabs. Recent
studies have suggested
that
coconut
coir
inhibits Pithium and
Phytothora growth. This
product is also easily
disposed of when finished

Reduces shading due to condensate
collection on the inside of greenhouse skin
during cold weather. By increasing surface
tension at the inside surface, condensation
tends to "sheet" rather than form droplets. As
a result, inbound light rays pass directly
through the greenhouse skin rather than
being refracted by clinging droplets at the
inside surface. This product is normally
diluted 200:1 with potable water. The better
the water, the better the result.
Note: Metrically speaking, 10L of final mixture covers about
100 m2 of inside surface.
GROWING ACCESSORIES
The Designer Series is a
distinctive decorative pot
available in two colours: clay
or granite.
They are
available in standard pot
sizes and the new
rectangular window boxes
and square planters in a
limited number of sizes.
Pots, Trays, Inserts, Plug trays, Fibre and
Nursery Containers
Canadian HydroGardens is a full line distributor for ITML
Products Inc. We now have available the original Kord and
TLC brands as well as well-known ITML products such as
Panterra pots, the Fibre Grow pots, baskets, etc. and their
expanding Thermoformed pots, trays, etc.
For more
information or photos of specific products, please look at
ITML's website: www.itml.com
ITML features several lines of decorative pots that are very
popular.
The Panterra Series has a
distinctive design with a
textured finish. The bowls,
planters and saucers offer the
look and rich texture of clay
without the heavy weight and
fragility of traditional clay
pots. They have a dual drain
bottom for drainage and
aeration and are available in
three colours: clay, Kord
green, granite. They are
available in oval planters and
bowls, standard pots and
hanging baskets in a wide
variety of sizes.
The Casabella Collection features an extra wide base for
stability, a sturdy heavy rim for product structure and dual drain
bottom for root aeration and increased airflow. They are
available in four colours: clay, Kord
green, granite and sandstone.
They are available in planters
and hanging baskets in a
number of different sizes.
Hanging Pots
ITML offers a wide variety of
attractive hanging baskets in a
broad range of sizes and colours.. In the
more decorative line, they have
Panterra and Casabella. They
are available in many
sizes ranging from 4" to
12" both saucerless
and with saucers.
To appeal to the
larger commercial
grower, they have
several traditional
saucerless pots in
the Kord line and
the most popular
commercial hanging
basket is the Swurl. It
includes the plastic divider,
a distinctive eye catching swirl
design and a gloss finish. It is available in 8", 10" and 12", both
saucerless and with outside saucers. Hangers are available in
3 and 4 strand configurations in plastic and wire.
Standard Pots
ITML has a great selection of quality standard pots featuring
increased soil volume compared to azalea pots. There are
several styles of these pots: Kord Traditional, Regal, and
Elite/Ultra. Each series has a range of pot diameters from 2
1/4" to 6" with varying heights. Many are designed to be used
in automated potting equipment.
CONTAINERS
Square Pots and Trays
Azalea Pots
ITML also have a wide
range of azalea pots:
Kord Traditional, Regal,
and Elite/Ultra. Again, a
large selection of sizes
from 4" to 12" and
various depths are
available. They are
offered in three different
colours: green, white
and terra cotta.
Thermoform Pots
The new thermoform pots
have growing characteristics
and profile identical to
injection-molded pots with a
significant saving in container
cost. They feature a split-level
dual drain bottom for superior
drainage and aeration. They
have a special resin blend to
ensure opaque environment
for root development but are
also known for their strength
and durability. Designed for
automation and handling, they are available in both standard
and azalea style pots. The standard colours are terra cotta and
green but can also be co-extruded to have for example, green
on the outside and black on the inside.
Pro-Tote Trays for Round Pots
ITML has available several
styles of square pot
systems. They are
economically
designed with a
smooth sidewall
and adapted for
automatic filling
equipment
and
handling by mass
merchandisers.
Right angle corners
provide a pot-to-pot fit
that avoids soil spillage.
They can be used in
conjunction with Quick-Lock trays
for easy positive pick-up of pots. They are available in Kordlok
and Kord Lite Squares, TLC Square
Form, and Elite Square pots.
Colours are the standard
green, black and terra
cotta. They are ideal for
annuals, perennials and
foliage. Also available
are pocket trays that
are designed to exactly
fit these pots, both in
regular and with the
Quick-Lock mechanism
that eliminates individual
pot handling. They also
carry heavy-duty flats, web
trays and standard trays with
and without holes that will hold these
square pots and also the inserts listed next.
Inserts and Trays
ITML has three different lines of inserts and trays to fit every
grower's needs: narrow, traditional and true. Each line offers a
different length and/or width to the tray and insert, which will fit
different growers' situations.
These trays offer efficient spacing, shipping and product
presentation of round pots. They are engineered with
strengthening ribs for superior handing. Designed to work
on roller conveyors and automated potting systems, they
feature a raised bottom to allow air and water exchange.
Standard colour is
black.
All of the
above round pots fit
these trays.
Narrow inserts are available in a number of configurations that
include the 1204 regular depth plus 606, 806 and 1802 deep
inserts. All inserts are compatible with your choice of narrow
injection-molded or narrow thermoformed ribbed trays. They
are engineered for easy de-nesting and easily labeled. The
trays are 8 ¼ or 8 ½" wide by 19 3/8" to 20" long. Inserts are
noted as to which are compatible to which tray.
CONTAINERS
Nursery Containers
ITML has a wide range of nursery containers available:
Traditional and squat injection-molded, WhiteRidge blowmolded and Elite blow-molded containers.
Traditional trays and inserts now seem to be the standard in the
industry. Trays are available from 20 7/8" to 21" in both
injection-molded and thermoformed to create a compact,
efficient growing system for bedding plants. The daisy and
web trays have skirted walls for use with electric eyes used
during the automated flat filling operation. Traditional inserts
are available in an extensive number of combinations including
606 and 1801 deep inserts. Again these inserts are engineered
for easy de-nesting.
Traditional injection-molded containers are heavy-duty
containers engineered for nursery applications. They are
designed with strong rims for handling and ideal for
evergreens, tall shrubs and trees. Growers can use a highimpact marketing tag in the tag slot for a premium looking
product at the retail level. They are available in 1 gal. to 7 gal.
trade sizes.
True series inserts and trays are available in the commonly
used cell configurations in regular depth inserts. 606, 906 and
1801 deep inserts are also available. These trays and inserts
are an effective alternative to maximize growing space in the
greenhouse and on shipping racks. Once again, the daisy tray
has the skirted sidewall to accommodate use of electric eyes
during automated flat filling operations. True trays come in
both injection-molded and thermoformed ribbed trays and are
engineered for easy de-nesting.
Plug Trays
Squat injection-molded are again heavy-duty containers with
shorter sides and a wider base for increased stability. With
strong rims for handling, they are ideal for ground covers,
squat shrubs and ornamental trees and for medium to large
water lilies. They are available in 1 gal. to 15 gal. trade sizes.
ITML now offers the full line of TLC plug trays to complement
their extensive product mix. The TLC line of plug trays includes
more than 39 different configurations, including standard
Round and Square plug trays, Common Element plug trays,
Octagonal plug trays and Nova plug trays. These plug trays
now feature improved de-nesting and greater uniformity for
enhanced automation compatibility. They are made of durable
polystyrene, which makes them rigid enough to be used as
stand-alone trays. They have die-cut holes and ramps that are
standard for labeling and are compatible with automatic
seeders and transplanters.
CONTAINERS
WhiteRidge blow-molded pots are an economical alternative to
the heavy-duty injection-molded containers. With strong grip
handles molded in the rims of the larger containers, they are
very convenient for handling of large trees and shrubs during
shipping. They have sturdy engineered corners and a wide
base designed for a stable upright presentation of nursery
stock during the growing cycle and at the retail garden centre.
Available in a number sizes the pots range from 3 gal. to 100
gal.
Fibre Collection
Elite blow-molded containers come with ribbed sides to create
a tough lightweight alternative to the injection-molded nursery
container. Strong pot rims are designed for easy pot denesting for handling in both automated and manual potting
systems. ITML offers efficient bulk packaging for high volume
users. They are ideal for small shrubs, perennials and
tropicals. They are available in 1 gal up to 5 gal. sizes.
ITML offers a good range of fibre patio planters, hanging
baskets, regular growing pots and nursery containers. These
long-lasting, earth-friendly containers are made from recycled
paper products that can be composted at year-end into
nutrient rich bedding material. They insulate and allow roots to
breathe just like clay pots. They are lightweight and the
hanging baskets have the "moss look" with less time and
effort. Many sizes are available in all types of containers. The
larger hanging baskets have cage hangers available to help
with the added weight.

Drip-Lock Fittings
Gro Hose
These tough polypropylene
fittings are designed for
attaching Twinwall Gro Hose
to manifold pipes and for
other various connections.
This is the Chapin Twinwall product. Designed for watering
greenhouse benches, outside beds and row crops, they are
manufactured from linear low density polyethylene and are
available in thicknesses ranging from 4 to 15 mil. The
ruggedness of the application determines which mil thickness
should be used. For example, fleshy plants in greenhouse
environments would use 4 or 8 mil. Outside row crops such as
blueberries would be better with 10 or 15 mil. The holes are
precision pierced and the double chamber ensures equal flow
along the length of the hose. A 200 mesh strainer should be
used in the water supply as a standard procedure.

Polyethylene Irrigation Tubing
(Microtube and Drip Line)
Turbulent Twinwall

ensures greater resistance to plugging and longer runs without
sacrificing uniformity. It is available in a wide number of sizes
and configurations. Most of the common ones are listed here.
Turbulent Twinwall Table
Distribution and Micro tubing
extends emitter outlets to desired
locations and fits over barbed
outlet ports on fittings of emission
devices. Virtually every size is
available in either polyethylene or
flexible vinyl. Drip line is the term
used for the tubing (laterals) into which spaghetti tubing and/or
emitter assemblies are inserted. (The word "tube" or "tubing"
distinguishes this product dimensionally from "pipe" or "piping".
Tubing is referred to by its actual inside diameter). Typically
one run of drip line lies in the center of a double row of plants
and feeds the plants on either side. This material is also widely
used for transport to laterals.

DRIP IRRIGATION
Drip Line Fittings
There are many drip line fittings available to ease the assembly
of irrigation systems. Some common ones are listed below.
Name
We recommend that the grower should, whenever possible,
select from the third group because pressure compensating
emitters provide, by default, flow balancing. Accordingly, if a
given watering zone in a greenhouse is not level, likely the case
more often than not, plants in the zone will still receive equal
amounts of water. In fact the high end pressure compensating
emitters now have internal check valves that prevent water in
the system within a zone from draining to the low areas
between irrigation cycles resulting in more uniform crop quality
and production and simplified irrigation management. As a
consequence, the added cost of pressure compensating type
emitters is more than recovered over time in the form of higher
quality and yields and reduced fertilizer consumption.

Emitters & Emitter Assemblies for Drip
Irrigation
Emitters can be roughly categorized into three groups - laminar
flow, partially pressure compensating or flow restricting and
pressure compensating. Because the cost increases from one
group to the next, growers who feel comfortable irrigating
without pressure compensation still use emitters from the first
two groups.

DRIP IRRIGATION
Punches
There are a number of punches available
for a grower to punch their own drip
line to prepare for inserting drip
emitters or emitter assemblies.
The GP global punch have
hardened steel tips which cut
decisively to make clean cut
holes. They are colour coded
for the different sizes of
spaghetti tubing.
The WP
wooden handled punch is for the
vortex emitter. The DP-1A plastic
handle punch has a bit chuck and
ejector button that permits the punch to
be used for different bit sizes. The ejector discharges the plug
from the bit. The replacement bits are green for
Microflapper,yellow for the flapper and red for other emitters.
Emitter Stakes/Plant Spikes/Support Stakes
We carry a wide range of makes and models for virtually any
application or grower preference. Refer to the selection guide

Acu-Spray Stick (Advanced Technology
Flow-Control Stick)
This can solve your nursery watering problems. These sticks
spray the same amount of water to each container, basket or
tray regardless of pressure, height or line length variations.
Eliminates labour intensive hand watering - just open one valve
to water an entire section. Saves water and conserves
nutrients for optimum nursery efficiency and productivity.
Installs easily, is cleanable and comes in a variety of flow rates.
The Acu-Spray Stick has a flow-controlled rated flow of water
over a pressure range of 15 to 50 psi. This assures that each
plant receives an equal amount of water and nutrients. The
Acu-Spray Stick can be taken apart to clean any particulates
which may escape filtration. Each stick is colour coded to
indicate the regulated flow rate.

DRIP IRRIGATION
The use of rigid aluminum line for overhead irrigation has been
popular in the industry for decades. Although less so now, we
still offer complete systems using this time proven design. The
output and spacing of the nozzles used with the aluminum line
determines whether it is a "watering" line or a "mist" line. There
are many nozzle styles to choose from, providing varying
amounts of water or mist. Line pressure is a factor in the
nozzles' performance. As a general rule, minimum pressure of
30 psi is required for watering, 60 psi for misting.

Accessories such as drain valves and nozzle risers are
available to minimize drip between cycles. Even with these,
the closer to dead level the line is, the better the drip control.
For pricing on full aluminum line systems complete with
nozzles and rubber inserts, please ask for a quotation. All
overhead irrigation nozzles are subject to volume discount.
Misting
Bow Mist Nozzles are available in three colours: red/white,
blue/white and grey/white. Wetting diameter is 1.2 m. and flow
rates are 1.2, 0.84, 0.46 lpm respectively at 75 psi.
i) the spray is beneath the overhead line and so the previously
unavoidable line of drip is eliminated
ii) nozzle drip at shut down is avoided.
Note: Charts I, II and III are calculated using a 36" sprinkler
spacing.

We carry the compact and super filters and housings in sizes
from ¾" to 1 ½" in stock and many of the replacement filters.
Others can be readily ordered.
Amiad plastic filters are easy to maintain with a wide range of
flow rates and multiple filtration degrees. There is low pressure
loss and they are corrosion resistant. Besides the compact
and super plastic filters, they also offer a turboclean, a
scanaway, and a brushaway filter for automatic and semiautomatic cleaning.
Notes:
a) Models utilizing grooved plastic discs in place of
cylindrical screens offer 3-dimensional or "in-depth"
filtering. These colour-coded disc elements can be
exposed for easy cleaning. The discs are captive on a
telescopic spine and cannot fall off.
The weavewire screen cylinders are made of molded plastic
with an inserted mesh sleeve made of polyester or stainless
steel, with different filtration degrees (see chart). The direction
of flow in these elements is from inside out along the element.
Therefore inorganic suspended solids are accumulated mainly
at the lower end of the element, where they can be removed by
means of a drain valve. These elements are specially suitable
for the separating of inorganic particles and have a very low
pressure loss. Suitable for a wide range of applications.
b)
When ordering Amiad filters, whether screen or disc type,
be sure to specify mesh size required.
c)
Most models can be field converted from screen to disc
(or disc to screen). If this is done however, the filter
housing must be reversed in the line because disc
cartridges filter from the outside, screen from the inside.
The grooved disc elements consist of a stack of thin plastic
discs which are piled together around a telescopic core. Both
sides of the discs are grooved and the grooves cross each
other when piled up and tightened together. The disc element
allows in-depth filtration and has high retention capacity of
particles. The flow is out-in. The filtration is affected in two
stages; the larger outer surface operates as a screen filter and
collects the larger particles. The grooves inside the disc allow
the adhesion of the fine particles, mainly organic matter. These
are also available in a number of different filtration degrees
(see chart).
Steel In-Line Fine Filters
Amiad makes steel body filters from 2" right up to 14" in both
manual and automatic configurations. These models have
stainless steel backing cylinders inside rather than molded
plastic screen cartridges. A filter "sock" fits over the stainless
steel cylinder. Please ask for details.
For both types of cartridges, the cylinder incorporates two orings to ensure perfect sealing inside the filter housing. The
housings are available in compact and super size depending
on space and application and in sizes ranging from ¾" to 3".

program is in the seconds/minutes mode.
• Automatic, semi-automatic, manual, and timed manual
operation.
• Programmable watering calendar. The watering calendar is
factory set at 7 days, but can be changed to any length from
1 to 32 days.
• Programmable 'system check' cycle that can be initiated at
any station. Station 'On' duration programmable from 1 min,
to 15 min. (or, optionally, 1 to 15 sec. per station).
• Water budgeting feature to simultaneously change the
watering duration of all stations within a program (1% to
255%). An illuminated LED lets you know if water budgeting
is set at other than 100%.
• Single program option gives you the flexibility of having two
or more programs scheduled, but limiting automatic
operation to only that program at which the dial is set.
• Programmable rain off up to 14 days. The controller will
resume automatic operation on the day following the last
"Off" day. Program erase feature allows existing programs to
be erased individually or all at once.
• Programmable pause of 1 second to 59 seconds between
stations to allow full valve closure before advancing to the
next station.
• Programmable loop allows a program's watering cycle to
continuously repeat for a desired period. Cycles can repeat
immediately or after a programmed delay of 1 minute to 4
hours, 15 minutes.

• Station "On" duration
adjustable from 1 second to
(Mist Master 11)
4:15 minutes in 1 second
increments.
• Station "Off" duration adjustable from 1 minute to 4:15
hours in 1 minute increments.
• Three completely independent programs. Stations can be
assigned to more than one program (all three if desired) with
different time settings in each program. This makes it
possible for the "On" duration and "Off" duration of a station
to change automatically during the day to match the
changing misting requirements of plant material.
• Each program can be scheduled to operate automatically
for one period each day (i.e. 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.), or for
two separate periods (i.e. 6:00 a.m, to 10:00 a.m., and 3:00
p.m. to 7:00 p.m.) Separate programs can be scheduled to
operate simultaneously.
• Period of operation during which misting cycles occur can
be controlled automatically, manually, or by sensor.
Operation of any program can be controlled by a sensor
switch ("normally open" type). Program operation will start 3
seconds after the switch closes or after a programmed delay
of 1 minute to 4:15 hours. Likewise, operation will stop three
seconds after the switch opens or after a programmed delay
of 1 minute to 4:15 hours.
• Percentage function permits simultaneous change of all
station settings within a program in 1% increments through
a range of 1% to 255%.
• Any station can be turned on manually for as long as
desired.
• For extended watering, station "On" duration can be
multiplied by 60 in program #3 so that "On" duration is
adjustable from 1 minute to 4:15 hours in 1 minute
increments.
• Program changes can be made quickly and easily at any
time. Any program setting can be changed without affecting
the rest of the program.

Unit Heaters
While we are the first to point out that forced air heating is
inferior to hot water for greenhouse use, it is simply the most
practical in certain circumstances. These circumstances range
from issues of economy or economic viability to greenhouse
size, location, and type. We can assist you in reaching a
decision in a forced air vs. hot water deliberation.
At HydroGardens, we carry two major lines of unit heaters
suitable for greenhouse use - Modine and Lennox. While
heater manufacturers typically produce their heat exchangers
from aluminized steel, most offer stainless steel exchangers
and, for the greenhouse environment, they insist on it to avoid
loss of warranty coverage. Lennox is the exception in a field
of 10+ builders. Their default exchanger, the aluminized one,
carries a ten year warranty, even if used in a greenhouse. Their
stainless steel upgrade carries a fifteen year greenhouse
warranty.

Sizing Unit Heaters/Heat Loss
If you supply us with the following information, we can
calculate your heat loss and size the proper unit heater(s) to
the application.
• type of greenhouse (glass, double poly, polycarbonate, etc.)
• length and width of greenhouse
• height of greenhouse to gutter (or to peak on a cold frame or
freestanding structure)
• planned use (crop type & months of operation)
• degree of dependence on unit heater(s) (sole heat source or
combination with other source such as hot water)
• fuel - natural gas, propane or #2 fuel oil
Propeller and blower models are available from 30,000 up to
400,000 BTU.
Note that blower models are required if discharge air duct is to
be affixed directly to the heater. For free air discharge or
discharge to a tube fan or fan jet pick-up plenum, propeller
units are acceptable.
The model numbers that follow
identify heaters with power vented
exhaust, spark ignition, and
stainless steel heat exchangers.
Other options, such as stainless
steel burner, outside combustion
air square-to-round transition
adapters, propane conversion, etc.
are available at extra cost. Please
ask for details.
LF24 series for greenhouse application are available from
100,000 up to 390,000 BTU in direct drive propeller models
only. Models up to 195,000 BTU have one propeller fan;
250,000 up to 390,000 BTU have two fans. The Lennox
propeller fans are rated for direct ducting of the discharge air.
As such, Lennox does not offer blower style models.

The Argus System
The Argus System is designed for
comprehensive control in a wide
range of agricultural, horticultural,
and other protected production
system applications. Its extensive
features include: sensor measurement, equipment control,
data logging, monitoring, and alarms. Standard system
features include comprehensive software modules for
controlling environment, irrigation, and nutrient management,
as well as many other types of equipment control.
Each Argus System consists of:
• a fully integrated environmental and irrigation control
system
• an advanced data recording program
• a sophisticated and highly configurable equipment
monitoring and alarm system
For maximum safety and reliability, Argus uses dedicated
control hardware and software. The PC that is used to access
the Argus System does not control the greenhouse. All control
programs and settings are located and run on dedicated Argus
controllers that have been specially built for this purpose. They
provide reliable, real-time operation in dynamic horticultural
environments. Whether your PC is directly connected or
operated remotely, dedicated Argus controllers are constantly
monitoring and managing your equipment. In this way, even if
your PC is turned off or breaks down, the controllers continue
to do their job. With distributed control, each controller on the
network maintains its own settings and programs, and keeps
working even if there are problems with other components of
the system. The modular and distributed nature of the system
enables Argus to engineer a complete and integrated control
solution for any sized operation. Its distributed control
enhances safety and reliability and its modular components
allow custom configuration and component location thereby
reducing wiring and installation costs
Typical System Components
A typical Argus System contains
the following components:
Argus Controller One or more
Argus Controllers form the heart of
your system. The Argus Control
System consists of dedicated and
distributed computer modules
custom configured for your
operation. All control programs
are executed from these controllers. The controller determines
how and when your equipment should operate based on
sensor readings and user settings.
Communications Networks You will never outgrow your
Argus system. The control system can be expanded to suit
your needs. You can add
additional modules to connect
sensor inputs and equipment
control outputs. You can also
connect additional controllers.
All
Argus
outputs
are
configurable with a range of
signal types to match your
equipment. Extremely large
systems can be configured in this fashion. By simply adding
more controllers as you need them, your Argus System will
grow with you.
Sensors - Inputs Sensors connected to
your control system are used to
monitor current conditions and
detect changes. High resolution
A/D (Analog to Digital) inputs
ensure accurate measurement
and sensitivity. When you order a
system, Argus makes sure you
get all the sensing capabilities
you need to monitor and control
your operation. They even provide
backup sensors for critical situations
such as climate temperature control. Nearly any industrial
sensor can be connected, although some types may require
additional signal conditioning. In most cases they can also
interface to your existing sensors or custom sensors that you
provide.
Outputs Argus' flexible equipment control outputs can be used
to manage any type of equipment. All output control is
designed to operate as Class-2 low-voltage equipment. This
reduces your wiring costs and is compatible with many types
of greenhouse control equipment. Low-voltage control wiring
(24V, AC) also allows operators to safely open enclosures and
use the manual override switches. Each output is equipped
with a relay control module that is matched to your equipment.
This includes:
• digital style outputs are used for ON/OFF switching as well
as high and low frequency pulse width modulation and
pulse period modulation
• tri-State-Floating outputs for reversing motor control such as
roof vents and mixing valves
• analog control outputs for variable frequency drive
Output modules have built-in manual override switches for
quick testing of field wiring or equipment, and for emergency
overrides of equipment control.
Modem Each Argus System is equipped with a telephone
modem used to communicate directly with the control system
from remote PC locations. Remote access also allows the
Argus Customer Service personnel, at your request, to connect
to your system for diagnostic purposes. This enables Argus to
provide fast, efficient problem solving without the need for
expensive on-site service visits. Remote Internet access
options are also available.
ARGUS CONTROLS
Some examples:
Operator Access PC You use a PC to access controller
information and adjust control settings with the Argus for
Windows Operator Access
Program. A local PC is
directly connected to your
control system. Argus can
provide the PC specifications
that are needed. Argus can
supply the PC, however, in
most cases, customers
supply their own.
Argus for Windows Operator Interface Program
This is the "Mission Control" software that enables you to
access all of the control programs, system settings, and
readings on your Argus Control System. By taking advantage
of the many customizable features such as user labels,
shortcuts, windows, graphics placement, and line drawing you
can create your own personalized access screens to meet your
specific control and system monitoring needs. Argus for
Windows features optional network licensing to permit
unlimited client access to your control system over wired and
wireless Ethernet LANs and the Internet.
Real-Time Equipment Control
The Argus Control System
includes a comprehensive suite
of
specialized
equipment
control programs designed
specifically to control the
equipment systems used in
protected environments. These
programs are set up and fully
configured to match your
operation before Argus ships your system. Each of these
programs are loaded with a
depth of features not available

Custom Control Applications In addition to special programs
for equipment control, the Argus system contains an array of
generic control programs to handle a wide range of custom
control challenges. All of these control functions are field
programmable. Program modules include: enhanced
equation-based decision programs, math programs, multi-day
averaging programs, generic modifier programs, multi-output
programs, sensor multiplexing
Manual Overrides Each piece of Argus controlled equipment
can be manually overridden by the operator from the IBMcompatible PC terminal, which may be on-site or connected to
the site over the telephone network using a modem.
Climate Control
Climate control settings include diurnal (daily schedules) or
multi-day schedules. Specific temperature and humidity
targets can be defined for up to 4 periods of the day with
smooth ramping between periods. Astronomical (solar dawn
and dusk) or regular times may be used to define each period.
Almost any environmental profile can be created with these
settings. Individual equipment settings can be synchronized
with the climate control settings. Some examples are:
supplementary lighting, photo period lighting and blackout,
shading and thermal curtains, pipe temperature settings.
Control objectives such as heat boosts, plant activation,
differential set-points (DIF), fumigation and post-fumigation
regimes can be set up to work automatically using these
settings.
Climate Control includes a wide range of settings that may be
used to define or modify control response based on weather
conditions or other criteria. Users that do not require this level
of complexity simply don't use these features.
Argus uses advanced Control Strategies that anticipate
changes, and respond to changing conditions before the
climate deviates from the target. The result is smooth, accurate
control with better energy efficiency and reduced equipment
operation. Primitive control strategies such as staging or
proportional control may still be used by Argus in specific
ARGUS CONTROLS
applications, but generally do not perform as well as the more
advanced control strategies. The advanced strategies are
easier to use since the operator no longer has to worry about
adjusting set points and stages to compensate for equipment
cycling and can instead focus on actual control objectives.
Monitoring and Alarms
Event Recording Records of equipment operation or other
events are very useful when considering maintenance or
reviewing equipment performance or reliability. With the Argus
system, you can configure event records to track any system
parameter or sensor value. For example: track operating hours
on fans evaluate belt wear or motor failures on fans, count how
often a unit heater is cycled on and off, track natural gas
consumption (operating times) for fixed-firing-rate heating
appliances, such as infrared or unit heater heating systems.
Alarms The Argus System includes a comprehensive Alarms
feature that let you set up very specific alarm conditions for
almost any variable. Careful use of these alarms enables
"Management by Exception", where the system is constantly
looking for 'out of bounds' conditions and let's you know as
soon as a problem occurs. Alarms can be configured for any
measured parameter. All alarms can be chained or linked to
other alarms to enable more sophisticated multi-parameter
alarm conditions. Powerful alarm configuration programming is
provided to specify how and when each alarm should
annunciate depending upon its user assigned priority. For
example, non-urgent alarms can be configured to annunciate
silently as a software message in the operator program while
more important alarms can be set to ring audible local devices
or to activate phone dialers for remote alarm messaging.
Modem alarm lists are provided in the software for emergency
callouts.
deviation, plus or minus, from another value. Examples of
this type of alarm include applications where two sensors
are used to "guard" each other. Excessive deviation might
indicate a sensor or equipment failure.
• High and low sensor failure alarms - these alarms are
used to warn when a sensor is producing readings that fall
outside of the possible range, indicating a probable failure
of the sensor.
All alarms have selectable annunciation priorities, and
programmable time delays to reduce false alarms. Alarms
annunciate only while active, and can be temporarily disabled
to allow time to correct the problem, before automatic rearming of the alarm. All alarms must be acknowledged by the
operator, ensuring that the operator will always be aware of
alarm conditions, including those that correct themselves
without operator intervention. Each control function can be
programmed to take alternate action when associated sensor
failures are detected. Alarm conditions can be coupled to
alarm outputs on the system for audible alerts such as bells
and sirens and to operate emergency dialers.
Data Recording
The Argus system provides extensive data recording and
graphical analysis capabilities. You can continuously record
the value of any system parameters including sensor readings
and control variables. You can record any data point from your
control system at your own selected sampling interval. This
stream of real-time data can then be graphed and analyzed
using the new Argus Graph tool. This handy new feature further
enhances the already powerful controller-based Data
Recording utility that records 15-minute averages based on
one-second measurement intervals. This new data streaming
method will be of particular interest to researchers who
sometimes need to record higher frequency point-sample data
for experiments. It's also handy for anyone who needs to track
fast-changing events, or troubleshoot equipment operation.
Sampling frequencies can be as high as one or two seconds,
although you may need to balance this against higher network
loads. You can now choose between the speed and storage
efficiency of the standard 15-minute averaged data or the
sampling detail and response of Argus PC Data Streaming.
Some of the features include:
• High and low absolute alarms - if the alarmed value rises
above or falls below a set value. An examples of this type of
alarm would be a high temperature or low temperature
alarm in a climate.
• High and low floating alarms - if the alarmed value rises
above or falls below another value that varies, for example,
a climate setpoint. An example of this type of alarm would
be an alarm that will activate whenever the temperature
drops to far below the current heating set point. This type of
alarm will "track" the heating setpoint automatically.
• Linked alarm conditions- a master alarm is raised when
pre-defined combinations of other minor alarms are also
active. An example of this type of alarm would be a low
greenhouse temperature alarm that will activate only if it is
also cold outside.
• Deviation alarms - alarmed value exceeds a given

Greenhouse Fogging &
Humidification
Dry Fog Systems
The concept of fogging/misting
and its benefits have been
around for over 50 years. While
most commonly used in the
greenhouse industry for cooling
and humidification, misting is
also used in such applications
as frost protection, air filtration,
dust abatement, odour removal,
fire and smoke control, special
effects and more. Current
installations include residential, commercial, agricultural and
industrial applications. Specific industry uses include
greenhouses, poultry and dairy barns, amusement parks,
playgrounds, restaurants and resorts to name a few. New
applications are constantly being developed. We carry the
Fogco line for these specific purposes.
growth potential. There is no better, more effective method to
control this than with a properly designed fog system. Fog
systems can also be used to introduce fertilizers into the
environment by injecting nutrients directly into the atmosphere.
The leaves of the plant absorb the moisture and nutrients.
In their simplest form, fogging/misting systems incorporate a
high pressure pump and a spray nozzle designed to produce
water droplets smaller than the diameter of a human hair, even
as small as 5 microns. The scientific principal of fogging
known as thermal dynamics ensures those blistering
temperatures can be transformed into comfortable
temperatures. When fogging systems are used within an
enclosed environment such as a greenhouse, potato storage
sheds, wine storage facilities, etc., high levels of humidity can
be achieved without excessive moisture ever reaching the crop
or the ground.
HydroGardens Ltd. stocks a full range of high pressure pumps,
mist lines, fittings and nozzles to suit your needs. Our
knowledgeable staff can design or help you design a system to
meet your requirements.
We can supply systems with high pressure nylon tubing (which
makes installation a snap), copper tubing or stainless steel
tubing custom welded to your specifications.
Our systems are designed so that they can be "do it yourself
projects" or custom installed. Either way, you get high quality
misting at an affordable pricing.
Fogco Systems are fast becoming standard equipment for all
greenhouse applications. As an environmental control system,
they can have a dramatic effect on greenhouse productivity.
Greenhouse productivity is
dependent on many factors.
Although a fog system
cannot control or affect all
variables, it can have a
positive impact by regulating
the temperature, humidity
and moisture content within
the greenhouse.
Fog systems are ideal for
addressing and correcting
the problems associated with
high temperatures and/or
low humidity levels. These
systems have been used for
decades in greenhouse humidification and can be used year
round. This will promote increased health and productivity
within the greenhouse by eliminating "plant water stress", one
of the most significant factors in the growth of all plants. The
system can accomplish all this by eliminating "plant water
stress".
Plants lose most of their moisture through evaporation from the
leaves. They also gather most of the carbon needed for growth
in the form of carbon dioxide through the leaves. By
controlling the plants' pores through effective climate control,
the results are stronger and healthier plants with optimum
FOGCO SYSTEM BENEFITS:
• Ensures proper humidity levels
• Reduces demand for moisture
• Maintains favorable conditions year round
• Creates in-house propagation stock
• Reduces need for shading/whitewashing
• Reduces irrigation/water consumption
• Improves overall greenhouse productivity
GREENHOUSE FOGGING
Wet Fog/Mist Systems
Naturally ventilated greenhouses
can be evaporatively cooled
using mist or fog, generated by
pumping water at moderate
pressure through a series of
special "jets" or nozzles. These
nozzles are mounted on small
diameter (typically ½") PVC pipe
using proprietary pipe saddles.
In this way, nozzle placement is
independent of pipe installation,
hence maximizing flexibility and
ease of installation.
The
moderate pressure required by
these types of nozzles keeps initial cost low and eliminates
much of the routine maintenance associated with high
pressure systems.
We must quote for full mist systems including filtration, booster
pump and control, but you could design your own. We carry
both Flora-Mist and Monarch misting nozzles and saddles.
Note that the "Flora-Mist" nozzle works very well for
propagation purposes where a very fine droplet is important.
The two nozzles available in Flora-Mist are both rated at 20.5
lph at 40 psi. The Monarch nozzle produces too fine a mist for
most propagation requirements with the exception of certain

CO2 GENERATORS
There are fundamentally 2 types of
CO2 generators or burners - those
with integral fan and those without.
The former, as might be expected,
are more costly. They are, however,
available in higher capacities than
the latter style. Both types burn
either NG or LPG. Units will be
supplied as NG unless LPG is
specified at time of order. Control of
CO2 generators can be by timer,
computer or by CO2 concentration

HPS is the most energy efficient lamp for greenhouse lighting.
About 30% of the electric energy input is converted into PAR
(the waveband between 400 -700 nm), compared to 6.7% for
incandescent lamps. Only 14% of the light energy is in the
waveband between 400 and 565 nm, and most of the rest in
the region up to 700 nm, providing maximum plant growth. The
rest is converted into heat energy.
The useful life of HPS lamps is twice that for Metal Halide (MH).
The light output during the lamp life will drop less than 10%.
HPS lamps' result in excellent plant growth and development,
provided the plants receive enough additional natural light.
HPS lamps are suitable for virtually all plant materials including
vegetables, cut flowers, potted plants and bedding plants.

HANNA INSTRUMENTS
Pump Set
List of the F-1 features common to all eight
models:
• 16 digital inputs for temporary break, conditional stop,
irrigation count, differential pressures and fertilizer, acid,
mixing and external tank level controls
• 6 analog inputs for pH sensors, EC sensors and solar
radiation sensors
• 2 non-consent alarm relays
• 7 digital outputs for filter back flushing, pH and fertilizer tanks
• inputs 24 VAC output power supply and 110/220 VAC with
grounding (internal power)
With the advent of large scale soilless crop production in the
1980's, Holland developed and popularized fully assembled
unitized (frame or skid mounted) irrigation systems that
incorporated the following functions:
• receipt and media filtration of mains water (well, pond,
cistern, municipal, etc.)
• atmospheric dosing and mixing of filtered water with acid
and fertilizer stocks for pH and EC adjustment respectively
• pumping and fine filtration of the resulting "working solution"
to a distribution and drip irrigation network in the
greenhouse.
Typically an electrical hook-up, inclusive of line volt switchgear,
as well as a controls panel, were incorporated in the system so
that, once set in place in the header house servicing a
complex, it remained only to pipe a single line and run a single
electrical feed to the unit before it was service ready. In
common terms, truly a "plug'n-go" system.
Hanna F-1 Controller
While the control of a "pump set" as described above
commonly fell into the realm of the associated greenhouse's
environmental control system, there remained a need for
stand-along control, as many growers preferred mutual
exclusivity between climate control and irrigation/fertilization
control .
In response to this need,
Hanna Instruments of Italy
developed a purpose-built
line of pump set controllers
called the F-1. Available in
eight models (see list), the F1 offers complete integrated
control of a pump set system
as well as zone watering
control for up to thirty-two
valve stations, depending on
the model.
• PID Control reduces overdosing and large oscillations in the
mixing process
• logging of executed programs with values of all parameters
and the Information Center - splash-proof polyester
membrane cover consisting of:
• 4-level LCD used for programming and data presentation
• 32 Light Emitting Diodes (LED's) for each sector valve
• 9 LED's for each of the fertilizer tanks, pH control, mixer
and filters
• 2 extra-large LED's for the alarm and pump functions
You should select the model suitable for your complex
depending on the number of watering zones you will be
operating and whether or not you want the waterproof wall
mount or the panel mount controller. The HI8001 is the panel
mount model while the HI8002 is the waterproof wall mount
unit. It includes all the features of the HI8001 plus a waterproof,
NEMA 4X enclosure.

Advantage pH Control Monitor
EC and pH Control Monitors for Recirculating
Irrigation Systems
(NFT, Substrate Systems and Ebb & Flood
Benches)
Advantage EC Control Monitor
Solution pH is controlled by precise measurement of the pH in
the irrigation water. As water leaves the system by uptake and
evaporation, new water which replaces it affects the solution
pH, normally causing it to rise. In addition, the chemistry of
nutritional uptake by the plants pushes the pH up. When pH
is elevated to the high set point the controller automatically
activates a feed pump. Acid is then added to the system until
the desired pH level is achieved. If for any reason the pH level
in the system falls to the low set point, an alarm will be
activated and/or the system shut down. As an additional
precaution, a lock-out safety timer protects against feed pump
overrun.
Model # MP-2
Specifications:
• Range of pH is 2 - 12
• Sealed silver/silver chloride combination pH probe
Solution salinity (EC) is controlled by precise measurement of
electrical conductivity in the irrigation water. As water leaves
the system by uptake and evaporation, new water which
replaces it causes the EC to fall. When EC is reduced to the
low set point, the controller automatically activates a feed
pump. Fertilizer or chemical is then added to the system until
the desired EC level is achieved. If for any reason the EC level
in the system rises to the high set point, an alarm will be
activated and/or the system shut down. As an additional
precaution, a lock-out safety timer protects against feed pump
overrun.
• 100 psi rating
• 60°C maximum water temperature
Optional Features
Many options are available by special order for both the EC
and pH models. For example, modulated control, flow
sensors, and chart recorders.
Model # MCM
Specifications:
• 0-5000 umho/cm range
• ATC (auto temperature compensated) electrode

Nutrient Management
Very soon, the greenhouse industry will think in broader terms
when it comes to nutrient management. Conventionally, it
refers to the on-going assessment of, and reaction to, changes
in the composition of fertilized irrigation water in order to
maximize plant nutrition. With the advent of existing and
proposed legislation governing fertilizer run-off and ground
water contamination, the term nutrient management now
connotes something much bigger. For the greenhouse grower,
his responsibilities respecting his crop(s) remain, but vast new
responsibilities respecting the environment are added.
Empirical results from prototype testing conducted in
Leamington, Canada, scrutinized by the Harrow Research
Station, have prompted ZENON officials to proceed with
commercialization and we at HydroGardens look forward to
your inquiries, enabling us to prepare a quotation tailored to
your greenhouse complex.
The operative issue is "leachate" and what the grower must do
to contain it and manage it. Most by now are aware of the
impending requirements as well as the various alternatives for
"treating" leachate on site so as to render it suitable for
blending with virgin nutrient in order to send the resulting
solution back to a crop for re-use. The express goal is the
elimination of "drain-to-waste" feeding by using close loop,
recirculating fertigation. The challenge to reaching the stated
objective is in the treatment of the leachate in order to kill
and/or remove pathogenic organisms.
At present the following are accepted methods:
• Heat pasteurization
• Ultrafiltration
• UV irradiation
• Ozonation
• or some combination of one or more of the above.
While we at Hydro Gardens, have always carried UV
equipment (see Trojan water sterilizers), we are now joining
forces with ZENON Environmental of Oakville, to market
modular, unitized ultrafiltration systems specifically designed
for leachate treatment in commercial greenhouses. System
sizes range from small manual units suitable for 20,000-40,000
ft² greenhouses up to elaborate frame mounted pre-assembled
automatic models capable of leachate treatment in sprawling
multi-acre greenhouse complexes.

Bellow Metering Pumps By Gorman-Rupp
Industries (GRI)
Bellows metering pumps operate on
a positive displacement principle.
Pumps are designed to
displace both corrosive and
noncorrosive fluids including
fertilizer concentrates, acids,
alkalies. Accurate to ± 0.5%
from stroke to stroke, when
pump is set 50% to 100% of
full stroke. Variable flow is
available through stroke
length adjustment. Discharge
pressure is maintained over the
entire flow range of the pump.
Poppet valves are utilized to prevent
backflow; and springs are available to provide a positive
shutoff, preventing siphoning through the pump in applications
where a positive suction head exists. They are available with
single, double, triple and quadruple tandem liquid ends. They
are extremely reliable lasting for many years and easy
replacement of wetted parts. We keep a good supply of
replacement wear parts and have staff on hand to do repairs if
necessary.

Hozon Siphon Mixer
Solution Heating
For small economical requirements,
the brass "Hozon" Siphon Mixer can be
used to apply chemical and fertilizer
solutions. Simply attach it to the end of a faucet and connect
a hose to the male end of the "Hozon". Mix the chemical or
fertilizer concentrate in a bucket and drop the siphon tube into
the concentrate. Turn on the faucet and "Hozon" automatically
mixes approximately 1 part of concentrate to 16 parts of water.
Always mix the concentrate 16 times stronger than the
recommended use rate and "Hozon" will do the rest.
There are commonly three ways to accomplish water and/or
solution heating. If "in-line" heating is required, shell and tube
or plate and frame exchanges are appropriate. For "in-tank"
heating, a stainless steel helical coil is best suited for the job.
CHL Item No....................................................................750800
Float Valves
For “in-line” applications, we carry a line of stainless steel heat
exchangers manufactured by Secepol. These units are highly
efficient, durable and yet economically priced. Our plate and
frame heat exchangers are manufactured by Nixon-Vicarb and
while offering slightly higher heat transfer coefficients than the
Secepol units, are more expensive and are not stainless steel.
If system expansion is probable, however, these plate and
frame units are convenient because they are modular and can
be easily upsized with the addition of extra "plates".

Trojan Ultraviolet Water Sterilizers
Trojan UVMax incorporates the most advanced ultraviolet technology, ensuring that you get a robust, cost-effective and efficient
solution to your disinfection needs. Using ultraviolet (UV) light, the Trojan UVMax renders microorganisms unable to reproduce.
They have high-output lamps that reduce space requirements for the UV system. It has an elapsed time meter to signal when to
replace the lamp ensuring continuous disinfecting and an audible and visual alarm that indicates in real time that the UV light
intensity is adequate to provide the full lethal exposure required. It does not change the taste, odour or pH of water like other
systems do. There are six sizes of units to choose from depending on
the gallonage needed to be disinfected (UVMax A, B, C, D, E and F).

TROJAN WATER STERILIZERS
K-50, 6 mil Greenhouse Film
Features:
• clear chemical resistant UV HALS system
• contains "anti-dust" additive that repels dust and dirt
• strong EVA co-polymer resin for excellent durability
K-50 IR/AC, 6 mil Greenhouse Film
Klerk's patented Koolite 380 and K50 IR/AC with the superior
anti-condensate properties Klerk's is known for, are recognized
throughout North America as the best films available to
increase a grower's bottom line profits by altering and
enhancing the growing conditions inside the greenhouse.
Klerk's K50 Clear is specially formulated using a tough tri-layer
construction, EVA copolymers, and special anti-dust additives
to product an outstanding protective outside layer which is the
perfect complement to Klerk's specialty films. K50 White,
formulated in a 55% and 70% opacity, provides the perfect
growing environment for those plants typically grown in
indirect light conditions.
50-Month Prorated Warranty: Klerk's 50 month
warranty insures that you are protected 100% against UV
degradation (prorated over 50 months - four winters).
Grower Testimonial
Features:
• a 6 mil film with superior anti-condensate properties
• a 6 mil film with infrared properties reducing heat by 30% to
heat the same space when compared with clear or straight
anti-condensate films
• gives a more diffused light which causes less stress on the
plant
KoolLite 380, 6 mil Greenhouse Film
Features:
• a greenhouse film that selectively uses reflective pigments to
alter the light spectrum to benefit plant growth
• reduces heating, watering and shade requirements
• has superior anti-condensate and diffusion properties as in
the IR/AC
• reduces fungus sporulation (does not kill fungus) by slowing
the reproductive process through the light spectrum
alteration
Every Canadian grower knows that light levels in fall and winter
are far less than ideal. For vegetable producers, it is
particularly the case. It is important to maximize available light
reaching the plants. Beads of condensation that form on
greenhouse poly block a significant amount of light. They also
increase disease pressure when they fall onto the crop. To
address this problem, the Ingratta's tried Klerk's K50 IR/AC 6
mil film.
"We are extremely pleased with its performance. It is the best
anti-condensate film we've see. An unexpected benefit has
been the IR (infrared) feature. It is noticeably warmer in the IR
houses." Nick and Margaret Ingratta, Igino Ingratta & Son,
Leamington, Canada
The combination of warmer temps and increased light made
the Klerk K-50 IR/AC film a contributing factor in their ability to
improve their production since first installing three years ago.
Growers owe it to themselves to try this product.

2-in-1 Option
Klerk's offers a two-in-one option for customers wishing anticondensate film on the inside and regular K50 film on the
outside. Klerk's will put both types on one roll so when you
install it, you just unroll it as if it were a regular tube. This is a
distinct advantage over buying tubes as it cuts down on the
cost of purchasing two layers of anti-condensate film when you

Note: All rolls can be custom cut to length (within 5 ft.
increments) or can be ordered as standard length rolls at any
time of the year. The former requires approximately two weeks
additional lead time and may be subject to an additional
special freight charge depending on volume ordered. Please
contact us regarding custom lengths as this can amount to a
significant saving over purchasing standard length rolls for
non-standard greenhouses. Also note that any rolls under 20 ft.
in width must be ordered in pairs. Rush orders can be
accomodated with a surcharge of 10% and special freight
charges.

GREENHOUSE FILM &
ACCESSORIES
White Nursery Film/Reflective Ground Sheeting
White Woven Ground cover
White reflective 4mil ground sheeting (70% opacity), originally
developed as an overwintering for cold frames to protect
nursery stock from winter kill, has become popular as reflective
ground cover inside the greenhouse. In this application, it:
• Increases light levels
• Helps eliminate weeds
• Helps reduce greenhouse humidity
• Available in many of the standard poly widths and 100 ft. in
length.
This cover has the same benefits as the black ground but also
increases light levels in greenhouses. It is not recommended
for outdoor use. This product is available by special order.
Prices of white nursery film/reflective ground sheeting are
subject to volume discounts. Custom sizes are available with
sufficient volume if ordered far enough in advance of required
date. Please ask for details.
CHL Item No ..................................................................980120
Black/White Ground Sheeting
We have available a black/white 5.5 mil ground cover in
standard rolls of 10' x 100'. This poly is black on one side and
keeps down weeds etc. and is white on the other side to help
reflect light into the greenhouse. Standard rolls are kept in
stock. Custom widths and lengths are available by special
order subject to minimum volume ordering.
Gintec Shade Technologies
Ground Cover Staples
These are 6" staples used to hold ground cover down. They
are made of heavy metal with spiked ends for easier
application and come in boxes of 1000 staples.
Shade Cloth
Gintec provides shade cloth in two
different types of materials:
premium knitted or woven. The
woven polypropylene shade
cloth has been the industry
standard for over fifty years.
It is woven in 30%, 47%,
55%, 63%, 73% and 80%
shade factors. Standard mill
widths are 6', 10' and 12'.
Other widths may be obtained
by cutting and/or sewing
combinations together using
Gintec's fabricating techniques.
Reinforcing tape and grommets are needed on the outside
edges for installation on cable structures. A pocket seam can
also be sewn to slide a pipe into for mounting.
The premium knitted shade has a unique three-way lock stitch
construction and is available in shade factors of 30%, 40%,
50%, 60% and 70% in black. Standard mill-roll widths are 6',
10' and 12' but again other widths may be obtained by
fabrication for sizing and mounting.
Gintec Shade Technologies custom fabricates ground cover,
premium knitted and woven shade cloth as well as thermal,
insect and wind screens.
Black Woven
Ground Cover
The fabric is made of
black high UV resistant
polypropylene which is
woven to allow both air
and water to pass through
reducing standing water
and root rot. The 12"
marker lines help with
container alignment. This fabric can be used under gravel,
soil, sand or pine straw to prevent soil erosion and weed
growth or in greenhouses to hinder weed growth. It is available
in stocked sizes of 6', 10', 12' and 15' wide by 300' long.
Custom sizes are also available and can be stitched to any size
required. Just call for a quote.
Frost Blanket
Frost blankets can be put directly over plants or shrubs for frost
or freeze protection. They are manufactured from non-woven
polypropylene. Several weights are available. The heavier the
weight, the more heat the blanket will trap.
Six ounce frost blanket is most popular in Canada and will
protect a crop to a temperature of -10°C to -14°C. Standard
widths are 12' and 15' and standard roll length is 300'. Custom
sizes are again available by fabrication. Four ounce blankets
are also available and are good to about 0°C. Both blankets
are available by custom order.
GROUND COVER
Roll-Air Greenhouses
Your Plants Inside or Outside in 60 Seconds
There are many unique advantages of the Rovero Roll-Air system.
Features: • No hinged elements - therefore no shadows
or wind or rain traps.
• Each bay has individually controllable openclose mechanism
• No obstructing parts, reliable and low
maintenance
• You may choose from a variety of coverings
The Roll-Air allows for many advantages: better cultivation of
bedding-plants and young plants, winter protection from frost
for susceptible plants (like in tree nurseries), the hardening of
outdoor crops (cuttings, etc.) and great use in garden centers.
Remember your plants can be inside or outside in just
seconds.
Roll-Air greenhouses can be supplied with a built-in shade
system that offers even more possibilities through the
combination of the greenhouse openings and the shade
system.
The Roll-Air is available in four styles: Multi-Rovero Roll-Air
Gothic, Multi-Rovero Roll-Air, Rovero Mini Roll-Air and Rovero
Tunnel Roll-Air. The Gothic gives an improved and more
efficient rolling system; great for garden centres and growing
areas. The Multi Rovero is the standard Roll-Air type known all
over the world. The Mini Roll-Air is the simpler version of the
Roll-Air with the same great advantages as the Gothic Roll-Air,
but lower and can be operated manually or automatically. The
Rovero Tunnel Roll-Air is easy to build and is designed to have
a manually operated roof; great for example, for covering
container fields. Call for a brochure today!

Energy and Black-Out Curtains
Canadian HydroGardens Ltd. has
teamed with Westland Greenhouse
Construction of St. Catharines, Ontario
and Alweco bv. of Netherlands in the
marketing and sales of greenhouse
curtain systems for all manner of
commercial greenhouse structures.
Used
primarily
for
energy
conservation, greenhouse curtains
play a vital role in plant shading
activities during periods of high light or excessive heat, as well
as a special purpose role in photoperiod management for
crops requiring black-out treatment. In certain instances,
growers will install two curtain systems in one greenhouse - as
for example where a crop is both shade and black-out
sensitive.
• Its creation involved a great deal of work and
could not have been accomplished without the
continued strong support of our many
dedicated suppliers. I thank them for their
assistance.
• Its creation also involved all of our staff at some
point or another. I wish to thank all of them for
their help and cooperation.
To our customers, I hope you will find this
catalogue helpful in sourcing your growing
requirements. Our next step to be more
accessible to you is in the completion of our
website. We will do our utmost to earn and
maintain your patronage.
Thank you for choosing Canadian HydroGardens Ltd.
Elaine Sharp
Inside Sales and Promotion
Alweco Systems incorporate a
unique and patented "Ultra-Delay"
slip block mechanism, which allows
the individual curtain panels to selfadjust with each full opening or full
closing. Similarly, the "Ultra-Delay"
slip feature prevents damage to the
drive mechanism in the event a
panel encounters an impediment to
its normal free travel during closing.
With respect to the curtain material, a host of choices are
available from 10% to 80% shading and 99.9% black-out.
Shading fabrics that double as energy curtains thereby accord
the extra benefit of heat
conservation at night
time and during the
heating season. We use
only the finest materials
from the world's leading
manufacturers - Ludvig
Svesson (L/S) and Bonar
Phorium (B/P).
Let us prepare a quotation for you. One of our sales
representatives would be pleased to discuss your plans and
measure your greenhouse(s) for quoting purposes.
