Why proper support improves plant health and productivity?
In intensive growing systems, the way plants are held and protected can make the difference between healthy development and reduced yields. Plant health is directly linked to the quality of the support system: good design not only prevents breakage or damage, but also encourages balanced growth, improves air circulation and enhances light exposure. All of this contributes to greater productivity and more efficient use of resources.
At ARaymond Agriculture, we believe that small details, such as an ergonomic, sustainable support, can transform the way crops grow. That’s why our solutions combine innovation, comfort and environmental responsibility to help growers achieve the best results, season after season.
How to protect plants from damage and environmental stress
Protecting plants is essential to ensure balanced growth and strong productive capacity. An effective protection system should minimize risks of breakage, pressure or friction on stems and branches, especially during key phases of growth or fruit load.
Beyond reducing mechanical stress, protection should also ensure proper air and light exposure, supporting natural ventilation and lowering the risk of fungal diseases. It is also important to prevent the effects of wind, humidity or competition from weeds, all of which can compromise plant health and long-term performance.
Together, these measures promote healthier, more resilient and efficient plants, reducing the need for corrective interventions and extending the lifespan of the growing system.
Effective support systems for greenhouses and nurseries
Proper plant support is essential to prevent stress and structural damage. These best practices help maintain healthy, productive crops:
- Ensure stable support without harming stems or branches. Solutions such as Ergo Clip or Easy Clip offer secure closing and ergonomic handling, ideal for delicate plants.
- Choose the right type of support according to the crop. For example, FlexTruss or TwinHook are ideal for tomatoes, where plant weight and vertical growth require extra stability.
- Review and adjust regularly. Continuous maintenance prevents stress and encourages optimal development.
