Especially higher crops have an advantage, because the
light penetrates deeper to the lower leaves.

How does ReduFuse works?
ReduFuse is applied like a shading agent; complete even
layer on the greenhouse roof.
Direct solar radiation is converted to diffused light.
This means:
- No direct sunlight on fruits and leaves;
- Deeper penetration of light; plant is more active in lower
part.
ReduFuse can be removed with ReduClean at the end of
the season .
