Key Benefits
The Shade Cloth provides several benefits in addition to supplying sunlight protection, allowing vineyard managers to improve vine health, save big on resources, and increase overall quality of crop.
- Protection Against Sun Damage - Too much sun can also burn leaves and fruit, and affect the quality of the resulting grapes. This cloth has a 40% shading rate which minimizes direct sunlight exposure while providing plenty of light for photosynthesis. This defense ensures that the vines are healthy and continue to produce good quality fruit in a consistent manner.
- Enhanced Temperature Regulation - The management of temperature is important to produce quality grapes. The shade cloth helps to keep the microclimate more constant by reducing midday spikes and averting fluctuations. The result is balanced ripening, homogeneous sugar content and better development of grape flavour.
- Water Conservation and Efficiency - In viticulture, water is a precious resource. By reducing direct sunlight, shade cloth lessens soil and foliage evaporation, which means a reduction in watering needs. This leads to cost reduction and sustainable vineyard management.
- Improved Yield and Crop Quality - The cloth's shield effect of the vines can prevent the vines from being stressed. So, the fruit set is more stable and uniform. Growers get bigger crops of higher quality grapes, with fewer issues from shriveling and uneven ripening. The end is a crop that excels in both for eating fresh and winemaking.
- Durability Across Multiple Seasons - It is made with UV treated high-density polyethylene woven fabric. The vineyard shade cloth will last season after season in the vineyard's harsh environment.
