Product Description
The Prothec System is a unique, patented vine tieing system consisting of the manual Prothec tie tool and degradable Prothec ties. Prothec protects vines, simplifies pruning and reduces operating costs while preventing girdling and other plant damage. Prothec enables growers to quickly secure vines to trellis wires by twisting and cutting the tying material in one quick action.
Available in photo-degradable and fully certified bio-degradable formats, the ties are designed to breakdown in 1, 2 or 3+ seasons, depending upon the color of the tie. The tie spools are available in 1, 2 or 3 wires formats, and the free floating internal wire(s) breakdown by coming into contact with moisture which enters inside the tie through very small holes in the envelope.
All prothec “BIO” ties transform into compost after falling onto the ground and mixing with the soil.
