Greenhouse

Greenhouses

The first greenhouses in Arusha were supplied and installed by Balton Tanzania, hence giving us a history of providing innovative solutions to the market. To date, we are leading in the provision of long lasting metal greenhouse structures and tunnel kits for large scale growers to small horticultural growers.

Green houses and tunnel covers

In keeping with our promise to our customers, we provide advanced cover films that have unique thermal, mechanical and optical properties that make them ideal for protecting crops, enhancing growth, and meeting the varying needs of growers.

Dam Liners

Our Dam Liners offer excellent polythene based solutions for agricultural and water management applications which are customized to fit the users’ specifications.

Shade Nets
Our range of shade nets enables our farmers to control the quantity and type of light transmitted to the plants as well as reduce ambient temperature around the crop to create an optimal micro-climate for plants to grow in.

Anti-insect nets

Our OptiNet range of nets is a patented technology that integrates two methods for control of greenhouse thrips and other insects. The dual protection significantly reduces the number of pests entering the structure, while maintaining adequate airflow. As a result, fewer pesticide treatments are needed, complying with European standards, and saving costs.

Agricultural Troughs

We believe in creating efficiencies in farming hence providing state of the art Mapal polypropylene troughs, drainage gutters and hanging gutter systems that are designed for growing vegetables, roses, cut flowers, herbs, strawberries & other berries.

Polyethylene Mulch

Mulch is a layer material applied on top of soil to conserver soil moisture, reduce weed growth, improve fertility and health of the soil and enhance the visual appeal of the area.

Growing media

We provide cocopeat which is an organic material and its production is part of the many uses of the coconut. When using cocopeat for hydroponic growing, the environment is not harmed.

We also avail our customers Kekkila peatmoss substrate which is carefully selected, first-class sphagnum peat harvested from Kekkila’s own peat bogs. The peat is a mix of raw materials from white sphagnum peat screened to fine grade. The products are limed and fertilized.

Knapsack Sprayers

Knapsack sprayers are used for the application of agrochemicals. They are suitable for controlling of pests on crops, flowers as well as for disease prevention and sanitation of livestock and poultry sheds.

Knapsack sprayer features an injection moulded polypropylene tank with a carrying handle for easy transport and left hand or right-hand operation. The viton seals and internal pump ensures no leaks. The simple design also ensures tool-free servicing for ease of maintenance.

Seedling Trays

These plastic trays are used for raising seedlings in any place of convenience. To grow the seedlings, the trays must be filled with a sterile growth media such as peatmoss, cocopeat or vermiculite, and each cell is responsible for raising 1 plant. This is a perfect way to raise seedlings in their own cell/hole thus no competition. Plants raised from these trays grow faster and are healthier than their counterparts sown directly in the soil based nursery bed. There is also no or limited transplanting shock since each seedling is moved with a ball of media on its roots without damaging the roots.

Advantages:

The trays are easy to clean and can be used season after season.
Water reaches the bottom easily and it has drainage holes at the bottom to prevent roots from rotting as a result of too much water.

Crop Support Trellising Twine

Trellising twine plays a major role in aiding the stake or trellis in supporting the plant. When a stake is driven into the ground next to a plant that needs support, garden twine is then used to tie the plant with the stake. Trellising twine is used for trellising tomatoes, peppers and other vine plants.
