SOLARIG™ SUPER SILVER 100 • Optimizing the use of water and fertilizer • Improving as a result yields and quality • Prevents weeds, saving on the use of herbicides and reducing the pollution of the environment. • Reflectance of the full electromagnetic spectrum that penetrates the atmosphere • Impermeable to water and water vapor • Creating an environment of "distilled water' it raises the root system to close to the surface – more available oxygen.
Reduces salt build-up in the soil • In the case of the use of recycled water, it prevents the fruit coming in contact with the water. • SOLARIG™ SUPER SILVER moderates temperatures in the soil. • Stabilized for an extended period • The film is woven giving it superior strength to stand up to the possible damage caused by animals and farm implements.
The contributing factors to the increased yield • Added reflected light - photosynthesis • UV reflection to improve fruit color • Soil water tension was reduced thus enabling an easier uptake of water and nutrients, leading to increased turgidity of the fruit. • The reflected light deterred insects and thereby delayed the infestation of the plants with viral diseases born by aphids and bemisia tabacci, the foliage remained green and effective resulting in more and bigger fruit.
