Mist Chamber and Its components
What is mist Chamber? Enclosed structure in which artificially mist is generated for the propagation of Plants or seedlings. In Mist Chamber, Relative humidity is maintained at high level (95 %) with the help of mister’s, which spray water under high pressure. Size of mist partials lies between 50 to 100 ยต m. High relative humidity facilitate better root initiation and cooling effect prevents the cutting from drying out. Advantages of mist chamber This method results in faster rooting of the cuttings. Create optimum Microclimate for better root initiation and development. Higher success rate found in propagation of hard wood cuttings. Disadvantages of mist chamber Hardening of rooted cuttings is more difficult and requires careful attention. Selection of right medium is very important. Under mist conditions oxygen deficiency can create problem. Components of mist chamber ESSENTIAL COMPONENTS Structure: Galv
