When you walk through an apple orchard, you may note that reflective film in the middle of rows. Why do orchards have these reflective plastics on the ground? This article will explain more fully below.

There are many benefits to install the reflective film to protect crops. They include:

Improved Fruit Color:

One purpose of the reflective film is to increase the intensity of light within the tree canopy, improving fruit color in the shaded parts of the tree. This is usually used on certain varieties of apples, peaches, nectarines, cherries, and pomegranates that have trouble getting full color.

Boost Profits For Apple Growers

The red color development is an important factor for consumer acceptance of apples. Therefore, selecting the reddest strains is now the best way to guarantee sales and commercial margins.

Earlier And Balanced Harvesting.

In commercial blocks where Mylar was applied a few weeks before harvest, the harvesting time and number of picks were reduced.

High tensile strength and lightweight

The metalized film has many unique qualities and features that make it amazing and usable. It has a lightweight and great tensile strength. Lightweight and flexibility make it easier for installation.

Simple to use

The reflective film is very simple to use and easy to install. It can be installed in vineyards, orchards, and greenhouses. It can be made into size to suit the purpose. The reflective films are cost-effective and also durable.

In recent years, increased importance is being given to external appearance, internal quality, and packaging of fruits. In modern commercial orchards, the use of reflective film can efficiently increase the intensity of light within the tree canopy, improving fruit color, reducing the average percentage of noncommercial fruit, and increasing profitability for growers, without affecting internal fruit quality.
