The Next Generation in Sustainable Vineyard Plant Protection
Introducing the PolyNatural® Vine Halo, a next-generation vineyard plant protector and the compact counterpart to the Aqua Plant Protector. Designed with sustainability at its core, the Vine Halo safeguards your young vines while supporting eco-conscious viticulture practices. Made to biodegrade in both soil and aquatic environments, it sets a new standard for responsible plant protection in vineyards.
Why Choose PolyNatural® Vine Halos?
The PolyNatural® Vine Halo is engineered for dual biodegradability, in both land and marine environments. Its main raw material has been independently tested for breakdown in soil and water, ensuring it decomposes through microbial activity rather than polluting ecosystems. Whether protecting young vines in inland vineyards or near waterways, these vineyard plant protectors offer peace of mind and environmental assurance. While degradation time varies by environment, the expected lifespan is 1–2 years. As always, responsible disposal is encouraged.
How do they work?
Biodegradation: Produced using the same natural biotechnology as our award-winning Vine Clips, each vine halo is shaped from fermented natural materials into a protective form that’s safe for the planet.
Eco-Performance: Around 41% of known microbes can digest the materials used in the Vine Halo, ensuring full breakdown without leaving behind harmful residues or microplastics.
Zero Microplastics: Unlike traditional alternatives, the Vine Halo avoids contributing to plastic pollution.

What Are the Benefits of PolyNatural® Vine Halo?
Superior Plant Protection: The Vine Halo shields young vines from environmental stressors like wind, sun, pests (rats, rabbits), and herbicides, helping reduce replant costs and improve vine establishment rates.
Environmental Impact: With no microplastics and minimal landfill impact, the PolyNatural® Vine Halo is made from upcycled by-products and is proven in tough conditions like wind and rain. Its 1–2 year lifespan supports sustainability from planting to maturity.
Optimised Growth: The circular design maximises space for plant development, encouraging upright, healthy growth.
Proudly developed and manufactured in New Zealand for our unique climates.
Natural Variations in Our Packs
Our dedication to sustainability means using plant-based materials such as coffee silverskin. This can result in natural variations in colour and size between units.
Why Variations Occur
- Natural Materials: Each vine halo may show subtle differences due to the organic materials used.
- Manufacturing Process: Minor size variances may occur due to eco-conscious production methods.
What Does this Mean for You?
Expect natural differences in shade and slight dimensional changes, reflecting the product’s authenticity and our commitment to environmentally responsible viticulture.
