Comprehensive Humidity Control Solutions for Agriculture: From Seed to Table
11/07/2025
Modern agriculture no longer depends solely on "favorable weather and fertile land"; it has become a science of CONTROL. We cannot control the weather, but we can and must control the environment within our greenhouses, farms, storage warehouses, and processing plants. Among these factors, humidity is the single greatest risk variable in Vietnam, directly impacting loss rates and profits at EVERY stage.

As a technology partner, DeAir provides in-depth technical solutions to control this risk variable, helping agricultural businesses optimize efficiency across the entire value chain.
Stage 1: Preparation - A Solid Foundation for a Bountiful Harvest
The quality of the harvest is determined right from the input stage. Humidity control during this period is paramount.
1.1. Seed & Seedling Preservation
In-depth Analysis: A seed is essentially a living embryo in a dormant state. High humidity (>60%RH) breaks this dormancy, activating respiration and enzyme activity, which depletes stored energy. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), for long-term seed storage, relative humidity should be maintained at 20-30% to ensure maximum viability and germination rates.

DeAir's Solution: For seed centers or archives requiring ultra-low humidity, Dezenno rotor dehumidifier models like the Dezenno-450 or Dezenno-600 are the optimal choice, capable of maintaining stable humidity below 30%RH.

1.2. Fertilizer & Animal Feed Storage
In-depth Analysis: Humidity causes fertilizer to clump, making it difficult to use and leading to nutrient loss. For animal feed, the World Health Organization (WHO) warns that high humidity is a primary condition for mold to produce mycotoxins, which are dangerous to both livestock and the food chain.

DeAir's Solution: Using large-capacity DeAir.RE industrial dehumidifier models such as the DeAir.RE-900 or DeAir.RE-1200 will be a reliable guardian for large-scale storage facilities.
Key Features of DeAir Dehumidifiers: Manufactured in Vietnam under ISO 9001:2015 standards, using high-quality components like Copeland compressors and low-noise centrifugal fans, ensuring durable operation in industrial environments.
In-depth Analysis: The greenhouse environment is almost always saturated with water vapor. High humidity at night and on rainy days is an ideal condition for fungal diseases like downy mildew and powdery mildew to thrive. Conversely, some crops like mushrooms require very high humidity (80-95%RH) to fruit.
DeAir's Solution:
Active Dehumidification: Use an Olmas OS-150 dehumidifier for small greenhouses, or a DeAir.RE-CL (ceiling-mounted) system for larger ones.
Precise Humidification: Install models like the DeAir.HM-15S or DeAir.HM-30S for mushroom farms or nurseries.
In-depth Analysis: High humidity combined with high temperatures causes heat stress, reducing the growth rate of livestock. A damp floor is a breeding ground for pathogens.
DeAir's Solution: The Dezenno.MAX AHU system for livestock helps to strictly control the environment, ensuring barns are always dry and clean, which enhances the feed conversion ratio (FCR).

Stage 3: Post-Harvest & Processing - Preserving Maximum Quality
3.1. Fresh Preservation (Cold Storage)
In-depth Analysis: Each type of produce has different humidity requirements in cold storage. For example, garlic needs 60-70% RH to prevent sprouting, while carrots need over 95% RH to stay crisp.
DeAir's Solution: Use a combination of a dehumidifier for cold storage (like the Dezenno) or a humidifier (DeAir.HM) to maintain the ideal relative humidity for each specific product.
3.2. Drying & Deep Processing
In-depth Analysis: Drying is the stage that creates the highest value-added products. Drying at excessively high temperatures will destroy color, flavor, and valuable active compounds.
DeAir's Solution: The Daxwell Heat-Pump Dryer is an advanced low-temperature drying technology. Models like the Daxwell DX-600D or DX-1200D have been successfully implemented in many of DeAir's high-value agricultural drying projects, from drying chili for export to drying asparagus, helping to preserve the product's full quality.
