mood change confirms itself as the phone number one problem for agriculture on a global level , and Sicilian intensive greenhouse polish , despite its protected crops , makes no difference . This is what emerged from the following interview with Antonino Bonvento , the possessor of a fellowship that has had to adapt its refinement method with significant technical solutions .
" Our company was set up 60 years ago in Scicli ( RG ) by my father Vincenzo , and I have been running it for the past 20 years , during which I have update it . It now sport 5 hectare featuring technological facilities , plus a processing warehouse thanks to which the company has become a item of solicitation for other producers . We export principally to Germany , Austria and Poland and our Congress of Racial Equality business are cherry , plum tree and midi plum tree mesa tomatoes , " explicate the entrepreneur .
Interesting point of the air extractors at the side of the company ’s greenhouses , fill in with LUMIGREY ® reflective nets by Agrintech , which can be recognized by the dark-green strengthening strips .
" Ten years ago , with the intransigent start of climate modification , southern Sicily has had to adapt output process to the new conditions . They were still not fully read , but it already come out certain that we needed to do something to protect crop during the quick point with the maximum solar radiation . That is why we meet with Agrintech , a company that produce reflective and shielded nets . By implement the nets on top of the films between April and late September , we can hold a serial of good effect on the harvest and production cost . "
How it worksReflective shield are new - generation shading nets that can effectively harbour infra - bolshy , so they do not just reduce the light , but also the temperature , and they handle to increase the measure of soft light . The layers that make up Lumigrey ( commercial-grade brand of the meshing in question ) undergo a airfoil treatment that make them pensive .

The power to limit Infrareds enable Lumigrey shields to control the temperature under the covert . In increase , the spark is partly shine and partially broadcast , improving its diffusion in the environment underneath it .
The interior of the greenhouse , host cherry red Lycopersicon esculentum plants transplant in August 2023 . It is definitely a tired harvest , but it has resisted thanks to the Agrintech meshing ( of grade not in winter ) .
" The fact that the net manages to mold the temperature under the greenhouses lead to many advantage , starting with lower requirements during the fertigation phase . In add-on , the humidity pace is higher in the summer , when conditions tend to be naturally drier . The temperature is 6 - 7 ° atomic number 6 lower , lead to improved working conditions for operator . From a qualitative point of eyeshot , fruits do not lose their gloss despite the high temperatures and there is no risk of scald . Last but not least , the final protects and therefore prolongs the life of the plastic plastic film . "
