Take control of spider mites this season
The glasshouse spider mite or two spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) is a common pest of protected crops, with the motile stages sucking the contents out of plant cells, producing characteristic leaf damage of white or silvery speckled patches.
Almost all protected crops and soft fruit are vulnerable to infestation, so identification of species is important for the application of the correct biological control methods.

Discover the right shading for your crops this season
ReduSystems® is a global leading brand in developing coatings for greenhouse cultivation. These products control the incidence of natural light and heat in order to optimise the climate for crops in every season, by diffusing and changing the light spectrum, thus assisting to create a cooler climate in the summer and enabling more light in the winter.
ReduSol®
When it comes to protecting plants against excessive light and heat, ReduSol has been a reliable choice for many growers over the years. ReduSol® is designed to reflect a large amount of sunlight energy while being resistant to wear at the same time. As a result, crops will grow steadier, ripen and taste better and suffer fewer bruises during harvest, thus resulting in fewer production losses.
ReduFuse IR®
ReduFuse IR® coatings assist in preventing heat radiation from entering the greenhouse, while acting as a diffuser to distribute light evenly as it enters the greenhouse to stimulate growth and production while reducing plant stress.
