As antivirus plastic moving-picture show , Solaris and Virolux from Agriplast make the remainder when it comes to income , guaranteeing mellow yields .
producer fear plant diseases , and the New Delhi virus is by all odds one of the most common . It is a disease that compromised the cultivation of candid - field zucchini in many areas , although it is still potential to grow them in glasshouse and polytunnels .
Salvatore Adamo and Andrea Cappello
It is known that insects ( mostly trips ) carry various viruses , New Delhi included : the motility of these insect can however be influenced using the good technical means .
FreshPlaza speak about it with Salvatore Adamo , an agronomist particularize in intensive constitutional polish , who stressed how " the relative incidence of viruses is one of the main endangerment for producers , however they can be tackled using means such as physical barriers , chemical discussion and other pawn . "
" When it come to courgette , one of the most effective solutions include those developed by Agriplast , a manufacturer of plastic covers that palliate the effect of computer virus such as Solaris , a photoselective diffused - light-headed thermal covering film . The singular texture of the film in question effectively disorientate the computer virus vector , significantly reducing their bodily function within the glasshouse or polytunnel . This result can also be attain with Virolux , a photoselective gap film . "
Zucchini harvest in a polytunnel equip with " Solaris " film producing acceptable yields .
The agronomist reported the experience of " Soc . Agr . Cappello Eleonora e Andrea s.s . " in Ispica , which has give most of its 20 hectares to zucchini cultivation . “At least for the past five old age , the New Delhi virus has symbolise the main problem for zucchini cultivation all over Sicily . The percentage of infect works was very high in the start , then we managed to reduce it by adopting natural barriers such as lucre and non - woven textile . "
Above : polytunnel incubate with a plastic flick unremarkably found in commerce . The virus manifested so much that flora had to be uproot . Yields were scurvy and direction was baffling .
" Finally , a more concrete help make it during the last run with Solaris covers from Agriplast . The advantage was that it completely disoriented the insect which , combined with the method acting already in use by the company ( anti - insect nets at the openings and leaf spraying ) , almost countermand the incidence of the virus on the plant . Even when plant started producing and operator pass more oftentimes , the share of plants affect remained low . This is because insects line up it hard to pass through from plant to plant . "
The video recording below shows the full good effects of Solaris covers . The first part of the video point a crop in a polytunnel covered with an Agriplast motion-picture show , while the second part shows a craw wrap up with common " plastic " .
" The results of using Solaris and Virolux can be seen in yields too . In fact , the crop being considered already transcend the take of the previous year halfway through its cycle . "
