OASIS SecondSky™: Redefining Agriculture in Hot Climates

OASIS SecondSky™ is a high-performance greenhouse film that integrates advanced additives to block near-infrared radiation (NIR)—the primary driver of heat buildup—while allowing photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) to pass through. This dual-action capability ensures crops receive the light they need for growth without the damaging heat that typically accompanies it 

Unlike traditional shading methods such as chalk or netting, SecondSky™ maintains optimal light conditions and reduces the need for labor-intensive maintenance. Its distinctive blue hue is not just aesthetic—it reflects a modern chemical formulation that avoids outdated nickel-based UV stabilizers 

Proven Results from Global Field Trials
Field trials across diverse climates and crops have demonstrated the tangible benefits of SecondSky™:

  • Zamora, Mexico (Strawberries): A 1–3°C reduction in peak air and soil temperatures led to visibly healthier plants and a $20,000/ha increase in profitability, with approximately 5 tons more yield per hectare. 
  • Odemira, Portugal (Raspberries): Even against 50% shade nets, SecondSky™ achieved a 2°C soil temperature drop and 0.5 kPa lower vapor pressure deficit (VPD), resulting in €24,000/ha more profit and 3 tons more yield per hectare. 
  • Almería, Spain (Nursery Crops): Trials in poly-tunnels showed improved plant vigor and reduced need for chalk shading. 
  • Agadir, Morocco (Green Beans) and Al Ain, UAE (Cucumbers): Trials revealed up to 62% waste reduction, 15-day season extension, and 16% less fertigation, translating into $6,000/ha in added value. 

Smart Data for Smarter Farming
SecondSky™ isn’t just a passive film—it’s part of a data-driven ecosystem. Sensors integrated into the system monitor key environmental variables such as PAR, DLI, temperature, CO2, humidity, and soil nutrients (N, P, K), enabling growers to make informed decisions in real time
