The advantages of tutoring with HORTOMALLAS® outweigh using agricultural raffia

There are many advantages of tutoring with HORTOMALLAS®. Strong winds and heavy rain, overly soft soil or faulty posts can often cause a section of vegetable support netting to collapse. Whether it have be make using raffia or HORTOMALLAS.

Tutoring with HORTOMALLAS® support netting on the other hand, offers distinct advantages.

When one section of raffia tutoring collapses. It is more than likely that section of the crop will be damage beyond repair or, that when trying to replace the broken raffia. A substantial amount of the crop´s yield will be damage, affecting its stems, leaves and fruits.

Here you can see a real case of a bamboo post that appear to be sound but was actually infest with termites. The termites ended up weakening the post so much that it completely tilted over. This case shows the benefits and advantages of tutoring with HORTOMALLAS®.

You can observe how the termites had their nest at the foot of the bamboo post. Causing the eventual collapse of the support netting.

In the photos, you can see how the entire section of support netting collapse due to the decay post

And how at the same time, the plants and their fruits being support by the netting were not affect. By simply removing and replacing the damage post, the whole crop was recover. This illustrates one of the advantages of tutoring with HORTOMALLAS®.

These advantages over using raffia are even more evident when a raffia thread is accidentally cut by human error when pruning harvesting. Causing the whole support netting to collapse like dominos. If one of the squares of a HORTOMALLAS® net is cut by mistake. The structure as a whole remains intact as each knot in the support netting redistributes the weight to surrounding knots in the tutoring framework.
