Boost Strawberry Yields in Wexford with AGROPET®

Ensure a better strawberry harvest in Wexford with a reliable trellis system. AGROPET® offers corrosion-resistant, high-tenacity polyester lines designed for Ireland's climate.

Overcoming challenges in Wexford's strawberry cultivation

Wexford, Ireland's second-largest fresh fruit producer, faces challenges such as high labor costs and unpredictable weather. Extended strawberry seasons from March to November demand robust trellis systems.

Polytunnels have prolonged the harvest season, but they also increase the need for durable lines that can support crops throughout the season. The available calibers are:

Ø 2.2 mm — 215 kgf

Ø 2.6 mm — 300 kgf

Ø 3 mm — 365 kgf

Ø 4 mm — 405 kgf

Ø 5 mm — 616 kgf

• Ø 2.2 mm — 215 kgf

• Ø 5 mm — 616 kgf

AGROPET® trellis lines for long-lasting support

AGROPET® lines are made from high-tenacity polyester, not polyethylene, and they are corrosion-resistant, dielectric, and UV-stable. That makes them a reliable choice for polytunnel production in humid conditions.

They reduce maintenance, help keep the crop supported, and can be tensioned and hand-knotted with ease. AGROPET® lines are also supplied in 10 kg reels and work across a temperature range of −40 to +90 °C.

How to install trellis lines in a strawberry polytunnel

Start by checking the structure and identifying the support points for each row. Install the line with even tension so the crop stays supported without stressing the plants or the tunnel frame.

Inspect the system regularly during the season, especially after pruning, crop loading, or strong weather. A well-installed polyester line helps maintain order in the row and keeps the crop easier to manage.
