Enhanced Fruit Development
By strategically reflecting light within the canopy, Extenday maximizes light exposure to both fruit and foliage. This leads to:
Larger Fruit Size: Increased photosynthesis translates to larger, more marketable fruit.
Higher Yields: Optimized light utilization boosts overall fruit production.
Accelerated Maturity
Employing Extenday from flowering to harvest can advance fruit ripening, allowing for earlier harvests.
Improved Fruit Quality
Increased Dry Matter: Even with higher fruit loads, Extenday facilitates earlier accumulation of dry matter, resulting in earlier clearance to pick.
Reduced Variability: Consistent light distribution minimizes variations in fruit size and maturity across the crop
Multiple Installation Options
Three effective installation methods to use Extenday Reflective Fabric in your orchard:
Trellis:
Attaching the fabric to the trellis system creates vertical reflective panels, particularly effective in north-south oriented rows, maximizing light interception.
Male Strip Rows:
By placing the fabric directly on the soil beneath male vines, light reflected from the gaps in the canopy is redirected back towards the canopy.
Between the Rows:
Suspending the fabric between rows creates a reflective layer that directs light into the fruiting zone, enhancing fruit development.
Bird/Hail Exclusion Nets
Reduce bird and Hail related crop losses with Extenday Protective Netting. Our smart chemistry minimises shade creating a diffuse light environment, to promote optimal growth.
Winter Chill Nets
DayChill is a retractable smart chemistry shade net that blocks winter sun, cooling temperatures to increase chill units. This crucial for optimal Kiwifruit production in warmer regions, ensuring an earlier and uniform bud break.
Proven Technology
Extenday Reflective Fabric, trusted by growers since 1996, has undergone rigorous testing by Extenday, universities, and research institutes worldwide. These tests have consistently demonstrated the effectiveness of our products.
