Visqueen have worked alongside the world’s foremost experts in understanding how global economically important crops, insect pests, disease pathagons and chemical pesticides respond to ultraviolet (UV) light, and in doing so have developed the Lumisol film range that helps growers create an optimum growing environment by managing light transmission, diffusion and temperature.
Of the many benefits Lumisol delivers, some of these include:
Improved Control of Economically Important Pets and Diseases
The control of economically important insect pests and diseases has traditionally been accomplished by the use of chemical pesticides or biocontrol methods. However, Visqueen have been working hard with Lancaster University to offer a third way and utilise light as a means of helping growers to better manage any pest problems that may arise. Visqueen’s joint research has helped them better understand the role of certain types of light in making the world’s major protected crops ‘hardier’ and therefore more resistant to both insect attack and disease infection. Therefore when designing Lumisol’s light transmission properties Visqueen ensured that those precise, beneficial wavelengths of light are transmitted into the greenhouse.
Temperature Control
Lumisol is manufactured in both Clear and Diffused formats. In addition to its ability to actively manage UV light, this new generation film range also encompasses beneficial temperature control attributes. In particular, Lumisol Diffused was developed using a formulation based on the original Luminance THB product which has a well deserved reputation for being the most effective diffusing film on the market with both day and night temperature control built in.
Anti-fog Properties
Lumisol offers built-in anti-condensation properties which help reduce the risk of fungal diseases such as downy mildew and botrytis cinerara. Thanks to its unique blend, Lumisol’s anti-fog characteristics help to control the condensation of water on the film surface. Providing the film is installed correctly, water will condense uniformly across it rather than as droplets. The risk of water falling on to the crop below is therefore reduced which in turn prevents the loss of light caused by droplets.
