Abstract: The invention refers to a tying system employing an accessory bearing a quick attachment hook, for tying a plastic cover film for agricultural crops such as soft fruit covers. Cultivation of soft fruits in covered space has been growing in recent decades. Several solutions have been developed including greenhouses or gable systems. The placement, fastening and fixing of the plastic film is achieved with ropes, elastic cords or soft PVC tubing. However, the cost of binding the plastic film is significant as skilled staff and considerable amounts of man hours are required to tie the plastic film to the supporting structure. Tying the film, in most cases, is carried out by employing knots on grommets that the plastic films.

Abstract: One exemplary aspect relates to a system for tying and stabilizing a plastic cover film for agricultural crops such as soft fruit covers. Cultivation in covered areas has been particularly developed in recent decades. The state of the art includes glass panes, greenhouses, and special plastic coverings for soft fruit. With the prior art, the placement, fastening and fixing of the plastic film is achieved with ropes or with elastic cords or with soft PVC tubing. However, the cost of binding the plastic film is significant as skilled staff and considerable amounts of man hours are required to tie the plastic film to the supporting structure. Tying the film, in most cases, is carried out by employing knots on simple eyelets or grommets, that the plastic films bear and, respectively, with knots on the wire ropes of the structure.

Abstract: The present invention concerns an elongated sheet (1) for covering agricultural cultivated plants (2), with a basic film (3) of plastic, wherein a ventilation area (5) extending in the longitudinal sheet direction (L) and having a plurality of ventilation openings (6) is provided in the central area (4) of the basic film (3), wherein a cover film (9) of plastic extending in the longitudinal sheet direction (L) of the basic film (3) is applied to the ventilation area (5), forming free spaces (11) for air exchange, and is firmly welded to the basic film (3) over a plurality of connection areas (10) following one another in the longitudinal sheet direction (L), and wherein the connection area (10) is designed to be inclined, at least in some areas, with respect to a weld start point (12) and a weld end point (13) with respect to the cross direction (Q) extending orthogonally to the longitudinal sheet direction (L).
