| Beneficial
Micro-climate:
BLUE-X Vine Shelters create a beneficial micro climate inside
the shelter for each vine with increased humidity, higher
CO2 levels, reduced drying and mechanical damage caused
by the wind, reduction of harmful UV light and beneficial
blue light effect. |

Amplified
Blue Light:
BLUE-X Vine Shelters are the only vine shelters offering the unique
characteristic of amplified blue light to your plants. The transparent
blue polyester admits up to 50% more photo synthetically active
radiation (PAR). PAR is the part of the light spectrum most used
by plants.
UV
light slows plant growth and damages plant DNA. BLUE-X Vine Shelters
block the transmission of a significant amount of harmful UV light.
Additionally, recent scientific evidence has shown that blue light
activates an enzyme that helps repair the damage caused by UV
light. An added benefit of increased blue light is to encourage
diameter growth in plants, resulting in stronger stems and trunks.
Easy
to Use, Remove and Reuse:
Using an innovative two piece construction method, removal is
easy. BLUE-X Vine Shelters can be removed without untying the
vine from the wire. Shelters should be removed before winter.
They store flat and are ready for reuse the next season.
Why
Use Blue-X Vine Shelters:
The use of BLUE-X Vine Shelters both reduces the cost of vineyard
establishment and increases production. Installing BLUE-X Vine
Shelters will reduce the costly labor intensive function of training
the vine. At the end of the first growing season, dormant vines
planted in the spring will generally be larger than vines planted
without shelters. When using BLUE-X Vine Shelters, production
increases may be realized by an increased first crop or even a
crop a year sooner.
