Greenhouse film
Tunnel film protects tomatoes from rain, wind, and low temperatures, while allowing the light necessary for photosynthesis to pass through. When selecting it, it is important to consider light transmission and diffusion, UV stability, anti-condensation properties, thickness, and mechanical strength. The manufacturer specifies the expected service life of the film under given conditions, but its actual durability is also affected by installation, wind, chemicals, and usage. Even the best film cannot replace proper tunnel ventilation.
