DIF (technique)
DIF is a greenhouse technique involving temperature control for the purpose of controlling plant internode length and thus elongation rates. DIF's effectiveness has led to a reduction in the need and use of chemical plant growth regulators. Although many common greenhouse plants do react strongly to -DIF, there are some plants which show little or no response to -DIF.〔(Fact Sheets on Greenhouse Management and Engineering | UMass Amherst Greenhouse Crops and Floriculture Program )〕
==Basics==
DIF refers to the difference between day and night time temperatures. DIF is calculated by subtracting the night time temperature from the day time temperature to get a +DIF when the day when the daytime is warmer, or a -DIF when the night time is warmer. When there is a +DIF, elongation rates are normal, but when there is a -DIF elongation rates are lowered. As nights are generally cooler than days, the DIF technique is only actively utilized to slow growth, not to increase growth.
Instead of increasing heating all through the night, which can be very expensive, another approach to getting a -DIF response is to decrease the temperature in the greenhouse at dawn for 2-3hours. This temporary decrease in temperature from night to day tricks the plant into responding as if there was a -DIF. An optimal DIF is around -10 when measuring in Fahrenheit or approximately -6 in Celsius.〔http://www.hortservicesinc.com/voag/Greenhouse%20Management/What%20is%20DIF.pdf〕
