World leaders in pollination control
PBS International’s new Citadel pollination tent range is designed for single or multiple plot isolation and allows the ultimate flexibility for indoor or outdoor polycrosses, multiplying up, hybrid seed and to keep unwanted insects out or your pollinators in.
Utilising our tried and tested duraweb® family of materials, Citadel pollination tents halt unwanted pollen, reduce contamination and ensure greater genetic integrity.
