01

Protecting crops from the cold

Protecting plants during the cold seasons is essential to ensure their survival and optimal development. Many crops can suffer irreversible damage due to low temperatures and frost.

Protecting plants during the cold seasons is also essential to ensure that plants maintain robust and healthy growth. However, it is not only winter that can be dangerous for crops; spring can also present significant challenges such as sudden changes in temperature or persistent rain.

By protecting crops from these climatic events, it is possible to start new horticultural production and extend existing crops into the colder months, thus ensuring a productive vegetable garden in all seasons.

Protection of crops from hail, birds, insects

Protecting crops from adverse natural elements and pests has become essential to ensuring the sustainability and productivity of vegetable gardens and gardens.

Sudden climatic changes, such as sharp temperature fluctuations, strong winds, and especially hail, can have devastating effects on crops.

Hailstones, for example, can cause micro-abrasions on fruits and flowers, opening the door to fungal and bacterial diseases that compromise the health and life of plants.

In addition to hail, birds and insects also pose a constant threat to crops. Birds, for example, can cause significant damage to fruits and vegetables, leading to considerable economic losses.

Mulching

Mulching is an essential cultivation practice that can revolutionize the efficiency and sustainability of gardens and vegetable gardens, contributing to ecological and less costly management.

Reflecting natural processes such as leaf fall, mulching protects the soil, limits weed growth, conserves moisture, and maintains a constant soil temperature. This significantly reduces the need for frequent interventions and chemical products.

Flower and vegetable support

Supporting vegetables and flowers with nets and stakes is essential for several reasons. Many plants, especially those that grow tall or produce heavy fruit, need support to maintain their structural integrity.

Without adequate support, stems can bend or break, leading to reduced production and even plant death. Supported plants tend to produce larger, higher-quality fruit because they are less prone to mechanical stress and have optimal exposure to sunlight.

This not only increases the quantity of the harvest, but also improves its flavor and appearance. Providing adequate support for flowers and vegetables not only helps plants grow, it also improves their overall health, optimizing production and ensuring the longevity of plant life in your garden or vegetable patch.
