Agricultural twine is a type of hanging rope used in agriculture, especially in greenhouse farming, polytunnels, and net houses

Agricultural twine is a type of hanging rope used in agriculture, especially in greenhouse farming, polytunnels, and net houses. Agricultural twine is typically made from polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE), which are thermoplastic materials known for their high durability, good load-bearing capacity, and resistance to decay over time. Agricultural twine is a common product widely used by farmers in cultivation practices.

Melon hanging twine is a type of agricultural twine specifically designed for supporting melon plants in a netting system. It provides structural support for melon plants to climb and grow evenly on the netting surface, optimizing light exposure and air circulation.

For more information about agricultural twine, you can refer to the article "What is Twine? Agricultural twine? Guide to Choosing Suitable twine" for details. In this article, we'll explore what Melon hanging twine is, its uses, instructions for use, and tips for choosing the right product to achieve high-efficiency cultivation while saving costs.

Product Description of melon hanging twine for agriculture

The melon hanging twine is a product made entirely from virgin plastic, with the main material being polypropylene (PP) resin.

  • Color: Typically, the color is white, matching the basic color of PP or PE plastic pellets without dyeing. Additionally, various other colors can be dyed according to customer requirements to match the aesthetic and color scheme of greenhouse, polytunnel, or net house systems. Besides its primary use in agricultural greenhouse cultivation, some businesses also use greenhouses for hosting model demonstrations, so the color of the rope in harmony with the greenhouse structure is an important consideration for customers.
  • Length of rope: Approximately 1,000 meters per roll. Additionally, there are various other lengths available to meet different job requirements.
  • Specification: 2000D5. This is the most commonly used specification, but other specifications are also widely used, such as 2000D10, 1600D5, 1600D10, etc. The higher the number of strands behind, the stronger the rope, and the higher the tensile strength.
  • Tensile strength: ≥ 16kgf. This is the basic and most important index of fiber in general and agricultural fiber in particular. A tensile strength of 16kgf is the smallest and safest for small vine crops. However, for melon netting suspension rope, it is best to use agricultural twine with a tensile strength of around 45kgf. Additionally, for larger-fruited crops, you may consider using twine with higher tensile strength to ensure optimal effectiveness.

Uses of the melon hanging fiber in Agricultural Cultivation

Agricultural twine is utilized to support the cultivation of various vine crops such as cucumbers, gourds, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, pumpkins, etc. Agricultural fiber aids in better plant growth, disease prevention, and enhances productivity and quality of agricultural produce.

The applications of agricultural twine - The melon hanging twine in agriculture include:

  • The melon hanging twine: It helps vine crops to grow better and prevents pest infestations.
  • Wrapping vine stems: It assists in stabilizing and preventing vine plants from collapsing.
  • Creating trellises for vine crops: It provides support for vine crops to grow upward, optimizing growing space.

Instructions for Using melon hanging twine

The melon hanging twine is commonly used in conjunction with steel hooks for suspending the fruiting bodies of melon, preventing them from falling or being crushed under their own weight. One end of The melon hanging twine is attached to a specialized steel hook, which is then hooked onto a cable or steel wire on the frame of the greenhouse.
