Comparison of typical diurnal variation of greenhouse environment.
Air temperature, relatively humidity, VPD between control and humidification treatment were measured at DAT 34 (19 Aug).

Effect of the micro-fog system on plant leaf area and shoot biomass production.
Parameters were determined every four weeks. Values are mean±SE (n = 20). Significant difference between humidification treatment and control were compared using Tukey’s test. * Significant at P<0.05, ** Significant at P<0.01, *** Significant at P<0.001.
Fig 4.
Effect of the micro-fog system on plant growth parameters.
RGR (relative growth rate, A), NAR (net assimilation rate, B), and LAR (leaf area ratio, C) were analyzed in plants sampled at 0, 28 and 56 d after transplanting. Values are means±SE (n = 20). Significant difference between humidification and control were examined using Tukey’s test. * Significant at P<0.05, ** Significant at P<0.01, *** Significant at P<0.001. NS: non-significant difference.

Effect of the micro-fog system on leaf gas exchange parameters.
Parameters were determined 40 days after transplanting. Values are means±SE (n = 10), significant difference between humidification treatment and control were compared using Tukey’s test. * Significant at P<0.05, ** Significant at P<0.01, *** Significant at P<0.001.
