White flexible polyethylene tube with a diameter of 20 cm (8 inches), a thickness of up to 128 to 250 µ (5 to 10 mils), and a length from 50 to 100 ms (164 to 328 ft). They are used as substrate crop containers for plant production in hydroponic systems.

 

Among the main benefits of the use of hydroponic tubes, in comparison with other rigid systems, we can mention that the low cost investment is dismissed in every cycle, avoiding the transfer of diseases to new crops; another benefit is the easy transport and storage.
