5.5 mm Black Tomato Cluster Clip – Box of 20,000 Units

5.5 mm Tomato Truss Support Arc

The 5.5 mm tomato truss support arc is a trellising accessory designed to provide support to the truss stem and help prevent breakage caused by the weight of the fruit during crop development.

Its placement between the main stem and the truss provides adequate support, helping to reduce the risk of bending, constriction and breakage of the truss stem. This helps maintain the correct orientation of the truss throughout its development.

Made from high-quality polypropylene (PP), it combines flexibility and mechanical resistance to adapt to the truss stem without damaging it during installation. Its design allows for quick and easy installation, facilitating crop management and trellising operations.

It is particularly suitable for professional vine tomato cultivation, both in greenhouses and outdoors, as well as hydroponic growing systems and trellising systems using twine.

What is the tomato truss support arc used for?

As tomatoes develop, the weight of the truss progressively increases as the fruit grows. The truss stem must support this weight, so an additional support element can help reduce the risk of breakage and truss drop.

The arc provides a support point that helps keep the truss in a suitable position during development and facilitates crop management within the trellising system.

• Helps prevent truss stem breakage caused by excessive weight.
• Reduces the risk of bending and constriction of the truss.
• Helps maintain the correct orientation of the truss.
• Contributes to maintaining an adequate connection between the plant and the fruit.
• Helps reduce losses associated with falling or broken trusses.
• Contributes to improving tomato presentation and commercial quality.
• Facilitates crop management and trellising operations.

When should it be used?

The arc can be installed from the beginning of flowering or when the truss starts to develop. Early installation provides the necessary support throughout the different growth stages.

It is particularly useful during the fruit-filling and ripening period, when the weight of the truss increases and the stem is subjected to greater loads.

For correct use, the arc should be positioned so that it provides support to the truss without applying excessive pressure to the stem or plant.
