Comparison of Greenhouse Whitening Products: INDALOBLANC® FIX 3 and INDALOBLANC® FIX 6
In agriculture and greenhouse management, regulating solar radiation is crucial to maintaining an optimal environment for crop growth. In this context, INDALOBLANC® offers two standout products: INDALOBLANC® FIX 3 and INDALOBLANC® FIX 6. Both share a formulation based on selected aggregates and additives that help control incident solar radiation in the greenhouse, but they mainly differ in their durability.
INDALOBLANC® FIX 3
Description: INDALOBLANC® FIX 3 is a liquid product designed to influence the greenhouse climate by reducing the solar radiation that penetrates it. This is achieved by adjusting the product dosage applied to the greenhouse cover, providing different levels of solar reflection depending on the amount used.
Durability:
- 3 to 4 months in Mediterranean climates.
Benefits:
- Regulates temperature throughout the entire crop cycle.
- Provides effective solar radiation control, essential for plant well-being.
INDALOBLANC® FIX 6
Description: Similar to INDALOBLANC® FIX 3, INDALOBLANC® FIX 6 is also a liquid product formulated to manage the greenhouse climate by reducing solar radiation. It is applied in the same manner, adjusting the dosage to achieve different levels of solar reflection.
Durability:
- 5 to 6 months in Mediterranean climates.
Benefits:
- Provides a longer protection period, reducing the need for frequent reapplications.
- Maintains the same temperature regulation and solar radiation control properties.
Durability and Application Comparison
The main difference between INDALOBLANC® FIX 3 and INDALOBLANC® FIX 6 lies in their durability. While INDALOBLANC® FIX 3 offers protection for 3 to 4 months, INDALOBLANC® FIX 6 extends this protection to 5 to 6 months. This difference can be crucial depending on the specific needs of the farmer and the crop cycle.
Considerations for Selection:
- Crop Cycle Duration: If the cycle is short, INDALOBLANC® FIX 3 may be sufficient. For crops requiring longer protection, INDALOBLANC® FIX 6 is the preferred option.
- Costs and Logistics: While INDALOBLANC® FIX 6 may be more expensive, its longer durability could result in fewer applications, reducing costs and logistical efforts in the long run.
- Climate Conditions: In regions with extreme weather variations, the extended durability of INDALOBLANC® FIX 6 may provide more consistent and reliable protection.
Conclusion
Both INDALOBLANC® FIX 3 and INDALOBLANC® FIX 6 are effective solutions for controlling solar radiation in greenhouses. The choice between them depends mainly on the crop cycle duration and the farmer’s specific needs. With INDALOBLANC®, you can be confident that your crops will be protected and will grow under optimal conditions.
