Increased Light

Extenday reflective fabric increasing light penetration into the lower apple tree canopy. Enhanced photosynthesis increases red blush coverage and yield when used from flowering to harvest.Extenday Reflective Fabric reflects sunlight into the lower branches of the apple trees. Increased light promotes photosynthesis, which promotes better fruit development and ripening. Using from flowering to harvest will increase yields.

Improved Fruit Color

Comparison of apples showing deeper red color development with Extenday. Our Smart Chemistry optimizes light spectra to stimulate anthocyanin production for intense fruit coloration.Extenday is the best reflective fabric to colour you apples as it uses Smart Chemistry to stimulate the production of anthocyanins. This results in a deeper, more intense red color.

Advanced Maturity

Bar graph comparing apple harvest timing. Data shows Extenday treated trees have significantly higher yield in the first pick and reduced late-season picking, demonstrating advanced and uniform maturity.Extenday promotes uniform fruit ripening by ensuring even light distribution throughout the tree canopy. This results in a significantly higher percentage of fruit reaching maturity for the first pick, reducing the number of harvest passes and lowering total labor costs.

Proven Technology

Three-year cumulative yield graph for Gala apples using Extenday. Data shows a year-on-year increase in fruit production, demonstrating the long-term physiological benefits and proven effectiveness of our reflective fabric.Extenday Reflective Fabric, trusted by growers since 1996, has undergone rigorous testing by Extenday, universities, and research institutes worldwide. These tests have consistently demonstrated the effectiveness of our products, proving Extenday is the best fabric for growing more, redder apples.

Sunburn Reduction

Bar graph comparing apple sunburn grades at harvest. Data demonstrates that Extenday netting significantly reduces sunburn damage compared to unprotected control groups, maximizing marketable yield.With Extenday’s reflective technology, our nets protect apples from sunburn. Extensive trials have proven that our nets are a reliable solution for reducing sunburn and maximizing yields.

Heat Reducing Shade Nets

Extenday’s Heat Reducing Shade Net uses specialized pigments to reflect heat creating a better microclimate for apple production. By lowering air temperature, conserving water, and reducing heat stress, allowing trees to continue photosynthesis in the hottest times of the day.

Hail Nets

Hand holding hail stones demonstrating the load-shedding capability of Extenday anti-hail nets. Design prevents structural collapse by depositing hail into the drive row while reflecting heat to prevent sunburn.Heavy hail accumulation can lead to catastrophic net failure and structural collapse, damaging the very trees the system is meant to protect. Extenday’s Anti-Hail Nets feature Smart Chemistry that diffuses light and reflects infrared heat to lower sunburn risk, while the ventilated design prevents heat trapping. During a hail event, the system is engineered to shed and deposit hail into the drive row, safely away from the canopy and infrastructure
