How to protect vineyards from hail with the DISPAB multifunctional system

Thanks to the implementation of the DISPAB system, all damage that hail can cause to vineyards is effectively solved.

Through the appropriate installation of protection nets the DISPAB system provides an effective shield against hailstorms, ensuring the integrity of both production and shoots that are vital for the future of the crop.

In addition to safeguarding the year’s production, the DISPAB system ensures the correct physiological functionality of the plant and its production the following year.

The damage that hail can cause in vineyards

In recent years, hailstorms have become a widespread phenomenon, intensifying significantly in several regions of our country, affecting various crops. Often, hailstorms cause heavy impacts that compromise the yield and overall viability of the various plants.

Exceptional hailstorms can lead to the complete loss of production, putting the productivity of the following agricultural season at serious risk.

Various scientific investigations have also shown that even a light hailstorm at the beginning of the season can cause significant damage to agricultural production.

In vine cultivation, severe damage to buds in the ripening phase can jeopardise the correct selection of the berry head for the following year.
