Recommendations for correct Trellising Plants: Handset Hangers

Reasons to use Handest Hangers

As the plant grows it is rolling in the opposite direction to clockwise, until it reaches the wire grid. Once the plant has reached the grid, there is no growing chance of the plant to ensure correct formation of this and its fruits, so the only option is to get off the ground picking up the thread, for what we use "hangers" that have rolled thread enough to pick the plant for at least two crop cycles.

In this way the plant develops always upwards, receiving the maximum light, which improved fruit quality and increased production.

Advice for trsilling plants with handset hangers in Greenhouses

At first the most suitable technique has several characteristics that must refine:

  1. When plants are staking with hangers crop lines should be double to pass from one line to another as they are picking up, forming an endless chain, leaving wide aisles.
  2. When the crop ends, the threat used is cut and the hanger continue for the next season. There are many wire hangers as for two / three seasons.
  3. Lift the plant as it grows imply more light and thus productivity, because we can extend the growing season, which increase in labor and forces us to work at height.

Manual VS Semiautomatic

Currently there are several manufacturers of crop support systems, and come in two types, manual and semiautomatic.

  • Manuals consist of a sort of wire frame, on which the yarn is wound the plant subject. To release wire must be done manually by holding the plant (and his weight) and unwrap thereafter.
  • Semiautomatic CLIPSPER TYPE are provided with a spool of thread and a braking system that freeing loose thread automatically.

The trellising tomatoes lift systems is a practice that provides very good results for the farmer.
