Unfavorable climatic conditions usually follow early crop production. Wind control and optimal temperature conditions are necessary to preserve “the first and most valuable flowers” from frost and to create good conditions for the pollination process. Physical protection is also required if we consider that sweet early fruits are delicious food for birds after long winter.
Early crop production brings better profit to producers, but demands higher level of management in agricultural practice. In order to assure profitable production, high yield and fruit quality in tunnel production of raspberries and strawberries ARRIGONI agricultural engineers team suggests to use of IRIDE BASE for closing lateral sides and AGRITELA as ground cover.

Beside protection from wind and birds, IRIDE BASE also protects plants from sun insolation on lateral sides. This run resistant, light and soft net can be easily installed, open and closed when it is necessary.
The installation of AGRITELA will ensure weed control, soil transpiration, warmer habitat for plants and clean production surfaces.

In order to improve fruit firmness, quality and sensorial fruit characteristics in early tunnel production of peaches and apricots, lately producers prefer using net covering. ARRIGONI net IRIDE UVA is ideal for this application for several reasons. Density and run resistance of this net beside anti-hail protection provides effective anti-frost protection. Furthermore crystal white color allows the passage of light, improve micro-climatic conditions around plants and create optimal temperature conditions for early production, good coloration and high fruit quality.
