KYA V45 catch crop staples are 17 gauge galvanized wire fasteners designed for training vegetable plants with twine or raffia. The staple is used with compatible crop-training equipment to secure the plant stem and supporting twine together during greenhouse and protected-crop production.
The KYA-V45 staple has an outside dimension of approximately 45.4mm, a height of approximately 29.6mm and a wire thickness of 1.39mm. The galvanized wire construction and blunt-point design make the fastener suitable for professional horticultural plant-training applications where the V45 format is specified.
Typical crops include tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, eggplants and other vertically trained greenhouse vegetables. The V45 system is intended to work together with plant-support twine or raffia rather than being used as a conventional fastening ring by itself.

The V45 staple is formed from galvanized wire into an open fastening profile. During installation, compatible crop-training equipment closes the staple around the plant-support twine and the stem area, creating a support connection for vertical crop training.
The V45 is manufactured from 17 gauge galvanized wire with a nominal thickness of 1.39mm. The zinc-coated surface provides corrosion protection for normal horticultural handling and greenhouse use.
The staple has an outside dimension of approximately 45.4mm and a height of approximately 29.6mm. These dimensions identify the V45 format and should be checked when purchasing replacement staples for existing plant-training equipment.
KYA specifies a blunt point for the V45 staple. The rounded fastening profile is intended for crop-training applications where the staple is positioned around plant-support twine and the stem area rather than driven directly into wood or another solid substrate.
V45 staples are used with twine or raffia in vertical plant-training systems. The fastener helps maintain the relationship between the growing plant and the supporting line as the crop develops.
KYA lists the V45 at 6,000 pieces per box, providing bulk packaging for greenhouse growers, horticultural distributors, vegetable farms and commercial crop-production operations.
V45 staples are primarily intended for greenhouse and protected-crop plant training where vegetable plants are supported vertically by twine or raffia.
Tomato plant training
Pepper plant support
Cucumber vine training
Eggplant plant training
Greenhouse vegetable production
Protected-crop growing systems
Vertical growing systems using twine or raffia
Other horticultural crops requiring compatible plant-support fastening
Crop suitability depends on stem size, growth stage, training method and the way the support twine is installed. The staple should be positioned with sufficient clearance for normal plant development.
The V45 staple is part of a mechanical plant-training system rather than a conventional construction stapling process. A compatible tool positions and closes the staple around the plant-support line and stem area.
The objective is to keep the crop aligned with the vertical support while leaving adequate room for the stem. Proper tool adjustment and operator technique are important because plant stems continue to increase in diameter during growth.
| Component | Function |
|---|---|
| V45 Staple | Forms the metal fastening loop around the support line and plant area |
| Twine / Raffia | Provides vertical support for the crop |
| Plant Training Tool | Positions and closes the V45 staple |
| Plant Stem | Remains supported adjacent to the vertical training line |
Agrifast identifies the AG234 as a tool specifically designed for correct use of the V45 staple in greenhouse plant-training applications. The system is used for tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and other crops trained with support twine.
When purchasing KYA V45 replacement staples for an existing machine, confirm that the tool is designed for the V45 format. A horticultural stapler that uses another staple size should not automatically be assumed to accept V45 fasteners.

V45 staples and plastic plant clips use different methods to connect a crop to its support line. Selection depends on the greenhouse training system, equipment already in use and crop-management preference.
| Feature | V45 Staple System | Plastic Clip System |
|---|---|---|
| Fastener Material | Galvanized steel wire | Plastic, depending on clip type |
| Installation Method | Closed around twine and plant with compatible V45 equipment | Individual clip attached around plant and support line |
| Storage Format | Compact metal staple supply | Depends on plastic clip design and packaging |
| Tool Requirement | V45-compatible plant-training tool | Varies by clip system |
System selection should be based on the grower's existing equipment, crop type, training method, labor process and end-of-season handling requirements.
V45 staples are manufactured from galvanized steel wire. The zinc-coated surface provides corrosion protection compared with untreated steel while maintaining the wire form required for the crop-training system.
Galvanized steel should not be described as biodegradable. End-of-season collection, recycling and disposal practices should follow the grower's crop-management process and applicable local requirements.
Position the plant and vertical support line according to the crop-training method used by the grower. The compatible tool then places the V45 staple around the support line and plant area and closes the staple into its working shape.
The closed staple should support the plant without being installed excessively tight around the stem. Plant diameter increases during the growing cycle, so adequate clearance should be maintained according to the crop and training method.
Always follow the operating instructions supplied with the plant-training tool and verify staple placement during the first part of a production run.
For accurate product matching and quotation, provide the required quantity, plant-training tool manufacturer and model, crop application, packaging requirements and delivery destination.

The V45 is a 17 gauge galvanized wire staple.
Typical crops include tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, eggplants and other greenhouse vegetables trained vertically with support twine or raffia.
Yes. The AG234 system is specifically associated with the V45 staple format for greenhouse crop training. Confirm the exact tool version before purchasing replacement staples.
No. The tool must be designed for the V45 staple dimensions and closing geometry. Provide the exact tool manufacturer and model when checking compatibility.
The V45 is a plant-training fastener that closes around the support line and plant area rather than penetrating wood. KYA therefore specifies a blunt point for this product.
Yes. The KYA V45 is manufactured from galvanized wire with a zinc-coated surface.
The KYA V45 is a galvanized steel wire fastener and should not be described as biodegradable. Collection, recycling and disposal should follow the grower's production process and local requirements.
KYA lists 6,000 V45 staples per box.
