For one crop a thicker tomato twine is required because the fruits are heavy, while with another crop a thinner twine is sufficient. Also in one crop the elasticity of the tomato twine is more important than with the other crop. Therefore, always get advise when choosing the right twine, because you do not want to choose the wrong twine and break it halfway through the cultivation! Our specialist will be happy to assist you.

Beside the thickness of the tomato twine, there is also colored twine for tomato hooks. Colored twine is mainly used for maintaining an extra implantation, so that this is easily recognized. It is possible to order the tomato hooks in a single box with different colors.

Beside the standard twine for tomato hooks, there is Jute Cordenka twine. This is made of on single jute wire and serveral wires cordenka. It's fabricated with a natural viscose, which is completely biodegradable. Jute cordenka is only possible on V-hooks and HD-hooks. The tomato twine has a high break point, but this break point decreases during the cultivation in the greenhouse. Keep this in mind and get some advice about the twine.
