• They are cost-effective and Eco-friendly solutions for protecting crops against insects and birds, filtering excess solar radiation, and preventing hail storms.

Structural Features of Insect Nets

• Nets are characterized according to material type, radiometric properties, and physical properties.
• The texture of nets determines the size of the mesh, ranging from 0.2 to 3.1mm for insect nets.
• The thickness and weight of the net depend on the thread's texture and mesh size.

Applications of Insect Nets

• Insect nets can enclose structures similar to greenhouses, cover plants on wooden poles, or act as a filter in greenhouse vents.
