In recent years, hydroponic strawberry cultivation is more and more popular worldwide, and mostly are in table top gutter grow systems and hanging gutter systems. Conventional strawberries are planted on the soil ridge, and the strawberries naturally attach to the two sides of the ridge with a gentle radian, berry is protected. While, the strawberries grown in the tabletop gutter systems and the hanging mobile cultivation system are hanging in the air, they lost the similar buffer and protection from the conventional soil ridge. Especially for varieties of high yield and large single fruit, the stem of strawberry are easy to form dead corners to broken off. That will greatly affect the necessary nutrients and water transiting from mother plant, thus affecting the yield, shape and taste of strawberries. So, the truss support tape and net are crucial for tabletop and hanging mobile grow systems.

Also, the grow pots are mostly black or dark color, which absorb heat quickly. When strawberry fruit or flower stem lay on the pot for a long time, they will be burn more or less, which affect the yield. If substrate strawberry production systems install truss support tape or net, they will support the stem away from the edge of planting pot, reducing the rate of burning.

1. Soft protection to the stem. Truss support tape provide a soft platform for loading the heavy fruit, allow stem laying on with a gentle radian naturally, allow necessary nutrition and water transiting from mother plant to the fruit, improve berry quality and early on sell.

2.Reduce the burning from pot. Tape support the stem of fruit and flower away from pot, reducing the burn and damage from the edge of pot, allowing more air flow through and sunshine, increase yield.

3. Easy harvest. Stem of strawberry lay on the tape, it’s pretty easy to recognize and pick up, improving harvest efficiency and lower the labour cost.

Why use Naltsen truss tape

1.Soft, durable and long lifespan. Made of high tension polyester fabric and PVC protected, soft but durable and reusable with 6-8 years lifespan, light weight, easy installation and cost efficiency. No break up after years of performance in greenhouses and outside.

2. More light reflection. One glossy side design, more light reflection to help plant growing. Strawberry will get better tasty. The truss tape is easy to clean at the end of the season.

3. Customized raw materials. Customized component and size of raw materials according to greenhouse strawberry environment. Some truss tape are made of rest and waste fabric with saw-tooth edge, different width, thickness and color in one delivery. All the Naltsen truss tapes are made of customized raw materials, including customized component and size of raw materials according to greenhouse strawberry growing environment. Then precision slicting by infrared sendor systems, so Naltsen tape has straight edges without saw-tooth, not harmful to soft fruit.

4.Customized size. Naltsen provide customized width of truss tape according to different strawberry variety and hydroponic strawberry cultivation systems, such as 45mm, 50mm, 65mm, 80mm, 90mm, 100mm, etc.
