On the news today… anywhere on the planet… weather patterns changing are affecting the population and crops!

Weather patterns are changing, colder and more extreme climates are popping up all over the globe!  No rain or too much rain are just as bad for agriculture.  And when too much rain comes down in one day, a whole season. Of work and investments may go down the drain, literally!  That is how climate damage affects our productivity and investment.

Leaving the full plant in contact with the soil is a recipy for disaster

A clear example is the cucumber (Cucumis Sativus L.) grow both for fresh consumption or for food processing industry.  Being a species of tropical origins the cucumber needs a relatively higher temperature and humidity. Even though there are species that have been adapt to more temperate climates.

cucumbers are very prone to damage due to climate change, reason why you need an efficient vegetable and plant support system or net

Over 40 degrees C. it slows its grow, as it does when the temperature drops below 14 C

in case these temperature extremes are extend in time the plant will lose the female flowers. Below 1 degrees C. the plant will die and rot without any way to be save!   As far as humidity, cucumber is very sensitive to damages brought about by fungi that thrive in high humidity conditions.  Two ways to combat fungi: prevention (netting) or fumigating (and say goodbye to your organic prices!).

Weather damage without trellis netting
Excessive rains without a proper plant support net will wipe out your months of work and investments

When cucumber is grown on the ground the humidity is trapped between the leaves and the wet soil, spoiling fruits. Leaves and flowers and creating the ideal micotic conditions that will destroy the crop or reduce it´s commercial yield.   Also growing cucumbers on a bamboo stick or metal stake, will not allow the plant to optimize. Its spreading over a larger surface increasing solar exposure and air flow. Growing elements that naturally impede the development of fungi.

Vertical net in cucumber
It is not advisable to use a bambo or wood stake because it does not allow the cucumber plant to spread.

Therefore  the ideal method or system to grow vegetables that need some sort of vertical support in open fields nowadays. Is using trellis netting like HORTOMALLAS®, a product that has been in the market for many decades. But that now with the need to be ready in case of  increased rain fall.

Flooding rains will destroy a poorly designed crop support system
