In today’s age of limited natural resources, both conventional and organic growers are looking for sustainable solutions to the growing challenges they face.
In situations where farmers previously turned to chemical pesticides or fertilizers, many growers today prefer to use cultural practices to reduce the need for environmentally harmful inputs. Less money spent on repeated chemical applications is an additional benefit. These cultural practices are a way to “farm smarter,” using simple technology to work with nature rather than against it.

Farm System Solutions
Protection from environmental extremes promotes healthier plants with stronger natural defenses, allowing for reduced pesticide use. Farming systems in cold climates can benefit from the Beltech 1995, a frost protection fabric and warmer areas might choose a shade cloth such as the Beltech 1833.
Our light-reflective ground cover, the Beltech 2911, bounces light back up into the leaf canopy, naturally increasing the rate of growth.
Windbreak fabrics, such as the Beltech 1547, reduce water use by lessening the amount of moisture lost through transpiration, as well as protecting crops from the physical effects of wind.
