Twine

Greenhouse twine is often used in horticulture to string vegetable plants, such as tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers to make sure the plant grows vertically. The choice of twine depends on several factors because each crop has its own needs. For a crop with heavy fruits, you will need a thicker twine, while for the other crop the elasticity of the twine or jute twine is more important. Royal Brinkman offers a wide range twines for greenhouses for professional horticulture. 

Twine for trellising your vined crops 

Twine is usually used in the horticultural sector to support the plant and increase its growth. However, not every crop is the same and every crop has its own needs. That is why Royal Brinkman has developed various types of Valent Twine, each of which meets the wishes and needs of the crop. That is why we have various types of twine: 1/1000 (1 kg is about 1000 meters long), 1/1200 and 1/1500. At Royal Brinkman you will find a wide range of greenhouse twine:
  • Tomato twine: tomato plants with a large vine tomatoes can become quite heavy in the high season. That is why it is very important to ensure the twine is strong enough to support the plant. 1/1000 and 1/1200 Valent twine is strong and therefore often used to trellis tomato plants with vined tomatoes. Tomato twine is often used in combination with a high wire hook in commercial greenhouse tomato production.
  • Cucumber twine: cucumbers are also stringed by means of cucumber twine. In the cultivation of cucumbers often 1/1200 and 1/1500 Valent twines are used. However, mostly cucumber cultivation is known as trellising the plant with just twine. More often, growers are using high wire growing method for cucumbers.
Besides tomato twine and cucumber twine, Royal Brinkman also offers various types of twine for trellising bell pepper, zucchini, eggplant and melon. The types of twine vary in thickness and elasticity. Moreover, the twine can be ordered in different colors. These different colors are mainly used to create a head from side shoots or lateral branches. It is important to choose the right twineto avoid crop damage. Therefore, our specialist Crop rotation will be happy to help you with making the right choice.

Think of tomato, eggplant, paprika and cucumber cultivation. The rope is made of synthetic fiber polypropylene, synthetic fibers are (compared to natural fibers) stronger. Because the rope does not absorb moisture the rope does not become heavy and is easy to handle. Valent rope is available in different sizes (1/1000, 1/1200 and 1/1500). The 1/1000 Valent rope variety is the strongest choice: 1 kilo of Valent rope gives 1000 meters of rope. Depending on the crop you can make the best choice in terms of carrying capacity.
