“Net-House”: ARRIGONI provides innovation & solution with insect screens

ARRIGONI S.p.A., Italian manufacturer of protective screens for agriculture since 1936, has presented its innovations at EIMA 2018 : Agriculture machinery show in Bologna.

First, it has showcased use of insect screens to create net-houses, innovative growing structures that provide halfway solution between open field and greenhouse growing.

According to the company, Net-houses constructed using ARRIGONI insect screens offer additional benefits:

 - "more vigorous plants with better resistance to some diseases

- conditions unfavourable to the spread of fungal diseases (drier environment with lower relative humidity)

 - possibility of starting organic and low environmental impact growing operations

- higher yield thanks to more suitable microclimate than in greenhouses

- water saving as plants are not exposed to excessive evapotranspiration

- and much lower installation cost than a steel structure with plastic films.”

A new website is also on-line, with two main sections, “Agrotextiles” and “Techtextiles”, providing users with information about these two application families.  Specifically, the “Agrotextiles” section includes contents of interests to farmers, easily accessible to all industry users. To be mentioned: possibility to receive additional high-profile updates directly from the in-house agronomists.

SACHIM, a member of the Group, received an award from the Puglia Region President Michele Emiliano, “for its excellent results in Research and Innovation”.
