Why use shading products
Benefits
01
Protect High Value Crops
02
Protects Crops from Excessive Sunlight
Shading products lower solar heat gain, helping maintain more stable growing temperatures during hot, high-radiation periods.
Reduces the risk of leaf scorch, fruit damage and other stress caused by intense solar radiation.
03
Improves the Growing Environment
04
Reduces Cooling & Water Demand
More controlled temperatures can help crops maintain photosynthesis, transpiration and overall plant performance during summer conditions.
Lower internal temperatures can reduce reliance on ventilation and evaporative cooling while helping limit excessive crop water loss.
No working from height
Drones provide access to areas without risk of working from height
Unlike conventional boom sprayers, drones can operate in challenging terrain and confined spaces without the need for ground access. Whether it’s steep slopes, waterlogged ground, or obstructed fields, drones can be deployed quickly and safely to treat areas that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to reach, ensuring no part of the crop is left untreated.
Excellent Application and Coverage
Controlled droplet Atomisers provide even coverage
The drone uses controlled droplet atomisers, which allow for variable droplet size to suit various applications. By controlling the droplet size, you can reduce the droplet size to create a fine mist, which will provide even coverage across the surface.
Apply different coatings
Drone can apply shading, thermal and cleaning agents to glass and plastic
Drones are able to apply various shading/cleaning agents to suit specific customer requirements, we work closely with suppliers to ensure we can provide the best application. We are able to apply chalk-based shading agents, IR-Coatings and heat-resistant coatings. Please get in touch to discuss your coating requirements.
Polytunnel Cleaning Trials
Recent polytunnel cleaning trials with Lumiforte's new "Dirtaway" cleaning product have proved very successful. We are excited about the launch of the product in the UK, due in October 2026.
