Although environmental sustainability is at the inwardness of agriculture and horticulture , the economic attribute , which is at the basis of the investments made to bring about intellectual nourishment , is often overleap . However , it is potential to combine the two aspects and an exercise of this is exemplify by the efforts of the Agriplast company , which aims to honor not only nature but also the income of farmers , based on crop protection . And it is introduction , as always , that is at the ground of advance in every process . This is why the Powerlux PNP cover sheet was developed .
Agriplast ’s plant life
" Protecting sure types of outdoor crop during the frigid month of the class is of the essence for optimum crop success and for producing yields . One of the most widely used product for this function is non - woven cloth , or TNT , a fabric of filaments , unremarkably of polypropene ( PP ) . These are arranged haphazardly , hence the name non - woven material , " aver Emanuele Garrasi , director of Agriplast ( in the photo ) .
" TNT is placed flat on the works or laid on arches to cover the full row . Thanks to its thermal and respiration performance , it is able to produce a microclimate that set aside estimable growing of the crop , despite inhuman temperature . This type of protection is also water permeable , allow the crop to be irrigated . "

" As a manufacturer of plastic films for factory farm and horticulture , we can offer up an alternative to the Hellenic TNT after much enquiry and analysis . This is Powerlux PNP , a polyethylene fabric only 13 microns thick , with a particular perforation organization . The holes , in compounding with the very high light transmission ( about 83 % ) , check the right exchange of heat and moisture between the harvest underneath and the out-of-door atmosphere , create a balanced microclimate that permit the right growing of the craw . The size of the cakehole is designed to allow body of water to pass through and for good insect to get to them as well . "
" Powerlux PNP not only has a weight per straightforward meter that is on average 30 % abject than that of TNT , but also reduce the amount of fabric that ends up on the market place , and accordingly , in the environment . Powerlux PNP is 100 % reclaimable , so it can be chuck out of after the ontogeny bicycle without any problem , which helps to minimize the carbon step required to produce a afford character reference .
