Horticulture has seen more technological advances in the 20th Century than any other industry. Horticulture has benefited from the industrial, electronic and biological revolutions.

Machinery does most of the back-breaking labor, electronic controls regulate and monitor critical growing conditions, computers provide instant access to data and tissue culture technology brings cleaner, newer varieties to market much faster. 

Outsiders looking at greenhouses of steel tube and polyethylene night think they've been bypassed by these developments, when in fact, they are a product of them. 

Film technology allowed replacing expensive glass with far more cost effective polyfilm.

Jaderloon has continued to work toward providing growers with complete environmental control while maintaining cost-effectiveness and long-term dependability in their structures and systems. 

New developments in greenhouse structures include many methods of improving ventilation. 

Some manufacturers rushed these concepts to market with excessively complex systems that did not address all of the real-world problems facing growers.

For example, the first roll-off roofs on the market could not be sealed against the weather, allowing heat to easily escape at every edge. Additionally, rain pouring down their roof slopes had nowhere to go but inside the greenhouse. 

These initial efforts at developing roll-off roofs depended on suspending the film roof on multiple cables, requiring that the roof be opened during ice storms to prevent damage. The only other option was to run heaters as hot as possible. 

Although all advances in technology have their blind alleys, Jaderloon tests each new development to make sure their customers aren't the ones being tested.

Jaderloon does extensive in-house and field testing on its products before introducing them to the market. In-house testing involves prototype development followed by "destructive" testing. 

Destructive testing ranges from test such as  those where frames are systematically weighted down until they collapse to corrosive testing of components that must perform in hostile chemical environments. 

The objective of this testing is to be first in performance rather than first on the market.
