SOLUTION FOR WATERMELON AND MELON

Recommended solutions

premise

Watermelon and melon have tropical origins and, as all Cucurbitaceae species, they are very sensitive to thermal shocks; protecting plants at transplantation is very helpful to create the right microclimate for a good growth and plant development. Thanks to its easy installation, ARRICOVER allows applications on little tunnels. Furthermore, it is easy to open and close the net when the need arises (summer thunderstorms, light hail, dew and pollination).

melon and watermelon

Agronomic results obtained on melon and watermelon crops are certainly interesting:

Better plants growth after transplantation
Hail and heavy rain protection
Reduction of fungal diseases
Protection from pollinators, when necessary

Reusable for many cultivation cycles
ARRICOVER is completely recyclable
Fast drying after rain and condensation due to the typical transpiration of knitted fabrics

ADVANTAGES

Frost protection
ARRICOVER transparency combined with the typical transpiration of knitted fabrics provides good gas exchange and  create dried habitat. Less humidity in natural habitat increases frost resistance of plants.
As physical barrier in process of freezing ARRICOVER keeps water deposited on surface of fabric instead of crops surface. Furthermore, this freezing process on surface of ARRICOVER fabric improves exothermic reaction and creates heat which additionally increases temperature of plant habitat.

MICROCLIMATIC EFFECTS

ARRICOVER provides minor fluctuations in relative humidity and reduces the stress caused by dehydration. Weaken thermal shocks by reducing temperature oscillations.
The particular transparency of ARRICOVER allows the passage of light and creates optimal conditions for photosynthesis. Good permeability of fabric creates environmental without condensation and less favorable conditions for fungal diseases development.
Thanks to the favorable microclimate under the net, plants protected by ARRICOVER have optimized ratio between vigor and generative potential, better vegetable visual appearance and nutritional quality.

PHYSICAL BARRIER

As physical barrier ARRICOVER protects plants from heavy rain and light hail. It prevents contact with different insects, animals and birds that could cause relevant damages in plantations. Furthermore ARRICOVER protects crops from the wind action and mechanical damages. At same time the strength of the fabric allows use in windy areas without risk of tearing. In extreme weather conditions it is possible to place ARRICOVER onto non woven fabric AGRIVELO in order to obtain a higher protection and increase temperatures during sunny days
