A trellising system supports plants to grow vertically, delivering space efficiency, better light and airflow, healthier crops, and easier management. particularly climbing plants like grapes, tomatoes, and cucumbers. It enhances fruit quality while maximizing space utilization and reducing disease risk.
Greenhouse Trellising Accessories
1. Plant Clip
Tomato Clip
Plant clips are small plastic fasteners designed to gently secure plant stems to trellising twine or support wires. They help guide plants upward, prevent stem breakage, and improve light penetration and air flow.
2. J Hook
A J Hook is shaped like the letter “J” and is used for hanging trellising wires, twine, or plant-support accessories from greenhouse structures. It offers a simple way to secure and adjust the height of support systems.
3. H Hook
The H Hook has an “H”-like shape and is primarily used to connect or suspend multiple twines or wires. It’s particularly useful in complex trellising setups where multiple lines intersect or need joining.
4. Roller Hook
A roller hook is a highly efficient tool for managing trellising twine, especially in tall crops like tomatoes or cucumbers. It features a spool loaded with twine that can be unrolled as the plant grows taller.
5. Plastic Trellising Twine
Plastic trellising twine is a durable, UV-resistant string used for supporting plant stems in vertical growing systems. It’s strong enough to hold heavy fruit loads and withstand greenhouse conditions.
6. Polyester Trellising Twine
Polyester trellising twine offers higher strength and durability than plastic twine, making it suitable for long-term use and heavier crops.
7. Crop Support Net
Crop support net, also called trellis netting or mesh, is a plastic mesh used horizontally or vertically to support climbing crops and flowers. It distributes plant weight evenly and allows better light penetration.
8. Monofilament Wire Polywire / plastic wire : 3 mm
Monofilament wire, sometimes called polywire or plastic wire, is a strong, UV-stabilized plastic line available in various thicknesses, with 3 mm being common for trellising applications.
Function of Trellising Support Systems
Trellising support systems play several vital roles in agriculture and horticulture:
✅ Plant Support and Stability
They provide physical support to climbing or tall crops, helping plants grow upright and preventing them from sprawling on the ground, which can cause stem breakage or damage.
✅ Improved Air Circulation
By keeping plants off the ground and spaced properly, trellising improves airflow around leaves and stems. This helps reduce humidity and lowers the risk of fungal and bacterial diseases.
✅ Better Light Exposure
Trellising exposes more of the plant surface to sunlight, which enhances photosynthesis and contributes to healthier, stronger plants and better fruit quality.
✅ Efficient Space Utilization
Vertical growing allows more plants to be cultivated in the same area, making trellising systems essential in greenhouses or high-density planting operations.
✅ Ease of Management and Harvest
Trellising systems simplify pruning, pest scouting, and harvesting because plants are organized and accessible. This reduces labor costs and improves efficiency.
✅ Improved Fruit Quality and Cleanliness
Fruits and vegetables remain cleaner and less prone to rot since they are not in direct contact with soil. This leads to better quality produce and longer shelf life.
