Two tips on installing strawberry truss support tape 

In the past couple of years, substrate gutter systems for strawberry are more and more popular by strawberry growers. In table top strawberry substrate grow systems, truss support tape or net play an important role to protect strawberries. If truss support tapes installed in the wrong way, it may lead to lots of trouble. Following two tips on truss tape installation.

• Tip one: the glossy side up and the matt side down. The glossy side can reflex more light to fruit and leaf, which can promote plant growth.
• Tip two: the tape should be fixed on the gutter bracket, not through it directly. In this way, we’re able to avoid moving and fraying caused by shaking when the wind goes through the tunnel greenhouse. Also, it’s a way to extend the lifespan of tape.

Why truss tape is necessary to strawberry grow systems?

In a couple of years, Hydroponic or substrate strawberry cultivation is very popular worldwide, and mostly are table top gutter grow systems and hanging mobile strawberry grow 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 many 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, that will affect the yield. If substrate strawberry production systems install truss support tape or net, the stem are supported away from the planting pot, reducing the rate of burning.

a. 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 transportation from mother plant to the fruit, improve berry quality and early on sell.

b. Truss tape support the stem of fruit and flower away from pot, reducing the burn and damage from the edge of pot, allowing more air and sunshine go through and in to get better tasty and healthy berries.

c. One side glossy design, which allow more light reflection to help plant growing. So the glossy side is supposed to be up.

d. Berries lay on the truss tape in a line and very easy to recognize and pick up, save harvest time and labour cost.
