Low Tunnel Film

Low Tunnel Film is an agricultural polyethylene film used to cover low-tunnel structures and help protect crops from changing weather conditions, wind, rain, frost, insects, and other environmental factors. The film creates a protected growing environment over crop rows while allowing light to reach the plants.

Tilak Polypack manufactures and supplies low tunnel plastic film in customized thicknesses and widths for agricultural applications. Our film is available in thicknesses from 50 to 150 microns and widths from 1 metre to 4.5 metres, with clear and yellowish colour options. Anti-fog and light-diffusion properties can be supplied according to product requirements.

Low Tunnel Plastic Film for Crop Protection

Low tunnel plastic is used to cover crops grown beneath low-tunnel structures made from hoops or other supports. The film acts as a physical covering over the crop row and helps create a more controlled microclimate around the plants.

Using suitable low tunnel film can help growers protect crops from frost, rain, wind, insects, and sudden environmental changes. It can also support earlier crop establishment and help extend the growing period in suitable farming conditions.

The appropriate film depends on factors such as crop type, tunnel dimensions, climate, expected usage conditions, required light transmission, and the desired film specification.

Key Features of Low Tunnel Film

Flexible Agricultural Plastic Film

Low Tunnel Film is designed to be flexible enough for installation over low-tunnel hoops and similar support structures. Its lightweight form makes it suitable for covering crop rows where growers need a temporary or seasonal protective covering.

Anti-Fog Properties

Anti-fog properties can help reduce condensation-related fogging on the inner surface of the film. This can support clearer light transmission and visibility inside the tunnel when the film is exposed to suitable environmental conditions.

Light Diffusion

Light-diffusing film can distribute incoming light more evenly across the protected crop area. The required light characteristics depend on the crop, climate, tunnel design, and growing conditions.

Crop Protection

Low tunnel plastic provides a physical covering that can help protect crops from environmental exposure, including wind, rain, frost and contact from some insects and pests.

Customized Thickness

Tilak Polypack supplies low tunnel film in 50–150 micron thicknesses. The appropriate thickness depends on the crop, tunnel structure, climate, handling requirements, and intended application.

Customized Width

The film is available in widths from 1 metre to 4.5 metres, allowing customers to select a suitable width for the dimensions of their low-tunnel structure.

Low Tunnel Farming

Low tunnel farming uses low-height protective structures covered with agricultural plastic film to create a protected environment over crops. The technique is commonly used where growers want additional protection during early crop growth, variable weather conditions, or periods when environmental stress may affect the crop.

Low tunnels are typically formed by installing hoops or supports over crop rows and placing the film over the structure. The edges of the film can then be secured to reduce movement and maintain suitable crop coverage.

The performance of a low tunnel depends on more than the film itself. Tunnel dimensions, ventilation, crop type, local weather conditions, installation method, and farm management practices all influence the growing environment.

Plastic for Low Tunnels

Choosing the right plastic for low tunnels requires consideration of both the structure and the crop. Growers should evaluate:

• Required film width
• Required film thickness
• Crop type
• Local climate
• Expected wind and weather exposure
• Light transmission requirements
• Anti-fog requirements
• Light-diffusion requirements
• Installation method
• Intended usage period

Tilak Polypack can supply customized low tunnel plastic film according to the required width, thickness, colour, additives, and application requirements.

Low Tunnel Plastic Film for Different Crops

Low tunnel film can be used for suitable crops that benefit from protection during early or sensitive growth stages. Depending on farming conditions, low tunnels may be used with vegetables, leafy crops, small fruits, herbs, flowers, and other crops suitable for protected cultivation.

The best film specification depends on the crop and local growing conditions. Factors such as required ventilation, light transmission, tunnel size, temperature, humidity, and weather exposure should be considered before selecting the film.

Low Tunnel Polyhouse Applications

Low tunnel systems and low polyhouse structures both use protective coverings to create a more controlled environment for crops, but their size and construction can differ.

Low Tunnel Film is intended for suitable low-tunnel and low-height crop protection applications. The required film width and thickness should be selected according to the structure dimensions and installation method.

Tilak Polypack supplies customized agricultural plastic film for applications where low tunnel plastic or related crop-protection film is required.

Low Tunnel Structure and Film

A typical low tunnel consists of a series of hoops or supports installed along the crop row, with agricultural film placed over the structure. The film is then secured to keep the crop protected from weather and external exposure.

The required film width depends on the tunnel width, height, hoop dimensions, and installation arrangement. Correct sizing helps ensure that the film provides adequate coverage while allowing the edges to be secured properly.

Tilak Polypack supplies low tunnel film in widths from 1 metre to 4.5 metres, with customized requirements available according to the application.

How Low Tunnel Film Helps Protect Crops

Low tunnel plastic can help create a sheltered growing environment over the crop row. Depending on the film specification and local conditions, the covering may help:

• Reduce direct exposure to frost
• Reduce the impact of wind
• Protect plants from heavy rain
• Provide a physical barrier against some insects
• Reduce sudden environmental changes
• Support earlier crop establishment
• Help maintain a more stable microclimate around the crop

The actual effect depends on crop type, climate, installation, ventilation, tunnel design, and farm management.

Temperature and Microclimate Management

One of the purposes of a low tunnel is to create a different microclimate around the crop compared with fully exposed field conditions. The film can reduce direct environmental exposure and influence the movement of heat, moisture, and air around the plants.

Ventilation is important because excessive heat or humidity can develop inside a covered structure. Growers should therefore use an installation and ventilation method appropriate for the crop and weather conditions.

The correct film choice should be based on the complete growing system rather than film thickness alone.

Low Tunnel Film Installation

Low tunnel film is generally installed over hoops or support frames positioned along the crop row.

Step 1: Prepare the Structure

Install the hoops or supports at suitable intervals and make sure the structure is stable before placing the film.

Step 2: Select the Correct Film Width

Choose a film width that provides sufficient coverage across the tunnel while allowing the edges to be secured.

Step 3: Position the Film

Place the Low Tunnel Film over the structure carefully and ensure that the crop area is adequately covered.

Step 4: Secure the Edges

Secure the film along the sides and ends of the tunnel using a suitable installation method to reduce movement caused by wind.

Step 5: Check Ventilation

Inspect the tunnel and provide suitable ventilation according to crop and weather requirements.

Step 6: Inspect the Installation

Check the covering for loose areas, excessive wrinkles, exposed sections, or other installation issues before relying on the tunnel for crop protection.

Low Tunnel Film for Seasonal Crop Protection

Low tunnel systems can be useful during periods when crops need additional protection from environmental changes. Growers may use suitable low tunnel film during sensitive growth stages, early planting periods, or conditions where frost, wind, rain, insects, or temperature variation could affect crop development.

The required film specification should be selected according to the crop, climate, tunnel structure, and intended application period.
