Macrotunnel for Tomato Growing
A macrotunnel for tomatoes offers critical rain protection at a fraction of greenhouse cost. Especially effective where the main disease pressure is foliar splash from rainfall. Works well with both determinate and indeterminate varieties where ROI is achieved within the first production cycle.

Rain protection at low cost
Eliminates overhead rain splash that causes foliar disease and fruit rot, while maintaining natural airflow through open ends.
3-5× lower cost than greenhouse
Installation cost is 3 to 5 times lower than a closed greenhouse, with ROI typically achieved in the first production cycle.
Natural continuous ventilation
Open ends ensure constant airflow, reducing relative humidity and botrytis pressure that closed structures can develop.
Agronomist Tip
Keep plant density at 3 plants/m² (2.5 plants/sq ft) max in macrotunnel tomatoes, adequate spacing is the single most effective botrytis prevention measure in open-ended structures.
