Agricultural netting is a popular solution for farmers and growers worldwide, and its use is continuing to grow as more sustainable and eco-friendly agricultural practices are being adopted.
Agricultural netting has several advantages, including:
Protection from harsh weather conditions
Agricultural netting can protect crops from extreme weather conditions like hailstorms, heavy rain, wind, and snow. This protection can help to prevent crop damage and loss, ensuring a higher yield.
Improved external fruit quality
Agricultural netting can help to improve the quality and appearance of fruits and vegetables by protecting them from damage caused by insects, birds, and other pests.
Enhanced photosynthesis
Agricultural netting can also enhance photosynthesis by diffusing and controlling the amount of light that reaches the crops. This can result in better plant growth and higher yields.
Better/less water usage
Agricultural netting can help to reduce water usage by controlling the amount of water that is lost through evaporation. It can also help to conserve water by reducing the need for irrigation.
Protection from excessive solar radiation
Agricultural netting can protect crops from excessive solar radiation, which can cause damage to plants and reduce their yield.
Protection from flying pests (birds, fruit bats and insects)
Agricultural netting can protect crops from flying pests like birds, fruit bats, and insects. This protection can help to prevent crop damage and loss, ensuring a higher yield.
In addition, agricultural netting can be used to support climbing crops such as beans and peas, or to create trellises for vining crops such as tomatoes and cucumbers. Netting can also be used to create screens or dividers within greenhouses or other growing environments.
Overall, agricultural netting is a versatile and effective tool for farmers and growers to protect and enhance their crops.
