What are the advantages of diffused light?

• Even and milder greenhouse climate;

• Lower plant-temperature;

• More and even plant growth;

• Better production with higher quality;

Especially higher crops have an advantage, because the

light penetrates deeper to the lower leaves.

How does ReduFuse works?

ReduFuse is applied like a shading agent; complete even

layer on the greenhouse roof.

Direct solar radiation is converted to diffused light.

This means:

- No direct sunlight on fruits and leaves;

- Deeper penetration of light; plant is more active in lower

part.

ReduFuse can be removed with ReduClean at the end of

the season .

removed completely, so ‘natural light’ can get into the

greenhouse.
