Effective defense against whitefly , thrips , and aphids and reliable protection against undue humidity to battle fungal disease , with 0 impact : all this is on offer from Arrigoni , the Italian Group that has designed and produced agrotextiles for function in agriculture for over 60 years . The solutions will shortly be presented on stand 220 at the 2023 edition of GreenTech Americas , the show dedicated to green technology for agriculture , to be held from 21 to 23 March at the Exhibition Centre in Querétaro , Mexico .
The protective screens have already proven their Charles Frederick Worth in the field , as we were told by Antonio Segura , operations manager of the Santa Rita acres , which originate tomatoes and vegetables on an area of 40 hectare in the township of the same name .
“ The Rio Verde valley sphere , where the Santa Rita yield center is located , ” Mr. Segura explained , “ is a semi - arid geographical zone with a climate that is ordinarily hot with scurvy humidity , except during the winter .
So in our zone , we have job with a mixture of louse pestis , the most harmful of which are whitefly , thrip , and aphid . We ’ve found the use of the Arrigoni thrip net to be underlying in combating them . ” “ antecedently , ” Mr. Segura uphold , “ we used other covering system , but they had holes and flaws , and the outcome were unsatisfactory . In contrast , Arrigoni ’s Biorete ® 50 Air Plus , recommended to us by our partners Asesores en Invernaderos , has a very lean but very consistent monofilament , essential for perfect passive protective covering . And , what ’s more , as well as providing a barrier against insect pests , it is also an in effect way of battle the extravagant humidity we get in wintertime , which make trouble above all post - harvest , with the growing of genus Penicillium fungus . In fact , Biorete Air Plus improves ventilation inside the glasshouse . This is why we ’ve decided to dramatize Arrigoni ’s solution on our estate ; we view it as not a toll but rather an investment , which will be recouped through a reducing in treatments and an improvement in the question of every crop . ”
In Mexico , yield and vegetable are grown in almost tropical climate . agriculturalist have to tackle a assortment of job , especially in passive greenhouses . In hot weather condition , short breathing causes an increase in temperature and humidity , a drop in CO2 levels , piss stress , high rates of parasites and diseases , greater crop personnel casualty due to viruses , a high level of pesticide intervention ( several time a week ) , and inefficient pollination .
All these problems pass to low fruit and poor crop quality . “ In growing area like those in Mexico , ” confirms Arrigoni agronomist Dr. Milena Poledica , “ Biorete Air Plus can examine extremely efficacious and cost - effective . With its particularly taut interlocking , this screen control insect access and thus trim back virus levels , lend the temperature down as miserable as 28 - 29 ° , balance humidity , and enables improved ventilation . This make better clime weather for plant ’ growth . ”
As well as Biorete Air Plus already referred to , Arrigoni will also be presenting other gamy - technical school solutions at GreenTech . These admit Prisma ® and Robuxta ® , a ambit of protective screen that provide optimized clear dissemination flux with temperature control , and Arricover ® , the innovative screen that ameliorate the microclimate . What ’s more , since Italian leader Lirsa joined the Group , Arrigoni is now also able to bid solutions specifically developed for Mexico and tropical climates in the sector of agro - films with exceptionally high light dispersal and high total transmission .
