Hail can cause significant damage to the production of table grapes even with a single annual event. In addition to direct damage, hail causes secondary losses in subsequent years due to the breakage of the youngest branches, the reduction of the assimilation zone and the greater vulnerability to pests and diseases.

The Viticulture Greenhouses designed by Groupe SMIDCOM, beyond its main role of protection against hail, influence the microclimate of the vineyard and create direct benefits by providing a great vegetative uniformity and better growth of buds and clusters.

These Anti-Hail Net Greenhouses are the most effective protection against hail damage in orchards. However, they can influence the luminosity, the climatic conditions, the vegetative and reproductive development of the trees, and especially the internal and external quality of the fruits.
