Discover the right shading for strawberries

ReduSystems® is the global leading brand in developing coatings and cleaners for greenhouse cultivation. The products control the incidence of natural light and heat to optimise the climate for the crop in every season - from a cooler climate in summer and more light in winter, to diffuse light and changing the light spectrum.

ReduSol is a coating that reflects the sun’s energy to a high degree. It is wear-resistant and can be easily removed with ReduClean. For many years ReduSol has been the best choice when it comes to protecting plants from too much heat and light.

ADVICE: 10 BUCKETS REDUSOL/HA 

With ReduSol, strawberries remain durable, with immediate harvesting often not necessary. Crops will also suffer fewer bruises during harvest resulting in less production loss. Redusol also ensures more stable growth, better ripening and taste.

ReduFuse IR is a coating that keeps some of the heat radiation out and at the same time distributes the light as it enters the greenhouse. This stimulates growth and production and reduces stress in the plant.

ADVICE: 20 BUCKETS REDUFUSE IR/HA

Why use ReduFuse IR? It has all of the advantages of ReduSol for strawberries, but with more diffuse grow light (PAR) in the greenhouse.
