Polypropylene Shade Net, also known as “Sarán,” is an essential tool for crop protection in Guatemala and Nicaragua. This material not only shields plants from the harmful effects of solar radiation but also regulates temperature and humidity in the environments where it is used.
Thanks to its durability and strength, it is a crucial ally in agriculture, especially in the changing climates of both countries.
What is Polypropylene Shade Cloth?
Polypropylene Shade Cloth is a woven fabric made from 100% virgin polypropylene, known for its exceptional resistance to solar radiation and durability in harsh weather conditions. Its primary function is to provide shade and protect crops from UV radiation, reducing the risks of thermal stress and dehydration in plants.
The versatility of the Shade Net makes it an efficient solution for various agricultural and construction sectors.
Benefits of Shade Net in the Climate of Guatemala and Nicaragua
- Protection against extreme heat: The net reduces thermal stress on plants, helping maintain an optimal temperature, especially during summer months.
- Temperature and humidity regulation: By blocking direct solar radiation, the net also helps maintain higher relative humidity, which is beneficial for crops in hot climates.
- Prevention of UV radiation damage: It protects plants from the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays, which can weaken plants and decrease productivity.
- Improved crop growth: By creating a more favorable environment, plants grow healthier, leading to better harvests.
Uses of Polypropylene Shade Cloth in Agriculture and Recreational Spaces
- In agricultural crops: Protection of vegetables, fruit trees, and ornamental plants in greenhouses and outdoor cultivation areas.
- In construction projects: Creating shaded areas in terraces, patios, and outdoor recreational spaces, reducing the ambient temperature.
- In greenhouses and macro-tunnels: Controlling internal temperatures and protecting crops from direct solar radiation.
