VPD ହେଉଛି ବାୟୁରେ ଆର୍ଦ୍ରତା ଏବଂ ନିର୍ଦ୍ଦିଷ୍ଟ ତାପମାତ୍ରାରେ ବାୟୁ ଧାରଣ କରିବା ସର୍ବୋଚ୍ଚ ଆର୍ଦ୍ରତା ମଧ୍ୟରେ ଅନ୍ତର। VPD ଉଦ୍ଭିଦ ଜଳ ଉଦ୍ଗାର ହାର ନିର୍ଧାରଣ କରେ।
ମୁଖ୍ୟ ତଥ୍ୟ
- Measured in kilopascals (kPa); optimal range for most crops is 0.8–1.2 kPa
- Low VPD (high humidity): stomata close, transpiration slows, nutrient uptake drops
- High VPD (low humidity): excessive transpiration, wilting, tip burn risk
- VPD is determined by both temperature and relative humidity together
- Seedlings and clones prefer low VPD (0.4–0.8 kPa); mature plants prefer 1.0–1.5 kPa
- Controlling VPD requires coordinating temperature, humidity, and airflow together
