What is the secret to doubling plant yields with insect screens?
The use of insect netting is becoming more and more widespread, and this is because it is the most effective way to provide a physical barrier other than chemical insecticides.
The use of insect netting minimizes the use of chemical insecticides, and on top of that, it can bring high yields to plants. This is why, and today we explore this question in this article.

What is the use of insect net?
Insect netting is a physical way to efficiently keep insects away from plants. It is widely used in agricultural crops, vegetables and fruits. It is also favored by many scientific experts.
Insect netting is very beneficial to plants, agriculture, environment, economy and agronomy.
Common specifications of insect netting
The size of insect screen is determined by the density of the weave and the thickness of the fibers. We commonly use mesh to indicate how many holes there are in a unit inch.
The common ones are 24 mesh, 50 mesh, often used in agriculture to keep out insects.
There is also 100 mesh, which is very fine and can stop pollen.
17 mesh keeps out flies and mosquitoes and is often used as a material for window screens.
10 mesh, and fewer mesh, is used to keep locusts out, to keep out small birds, to keep out the sun, and to keep out hail.
What is the secret to doubling plant yields with insect screens?
Many growers have noticed a dramatic increase in plant yields after using insect screens. They are even perplexed as a result, why insect netting has led to a dramatic increase in plant yield and what are the secrets of insect netting that we do not know.
- Insect-proof nets create a small ecological environment while preventing insects. The climate of this environment is different from the external environment. This microclimate is the reason for the increase in plant production.
- The microclimate has more humid air, and the humid air makes the photosynthesis of plants more efficient.
- Microclimate has higher temperature, which provides better conditions for microbial activity. Microbial activity is more active. Microorganisms create more nutrients.
- Microclimate accelerates the growth process of plants and has a very positive effect on the growth of fruits.
The hidden functions of insect screens you don't know
Advantages of insect screen
Insect screens have many functions besides
insect protection, which is why many growers prefer them.
1, Insect screen can retain water and save
water. 50 mesh insect screen is very effective in saving water.
2, Insect screen can keep out insects and
birds, which is very necessary for berry plants.
3, Insect screen can shade from the strong
sunlight. The normal insect screen is transparent, and the shading rate is
about 10%. There is a professional insect screen that is black in color and has
a shading rate of about 25%.
4, Insect screen can be used to block hail.
16 mesh or less insect screen can block hail, thanks to its material’s high
toughness.
These features make insect netting cover almost
everything that growers expect, one insect netting that contains the functions
of hail netting, bird netting, and shade netting.
Disadvantages of insect screens
Insect screens are not without their
drawbacks, but they can be overcome.
Insect screens can cause a decrease in air
mobility and require attention to soil moisture to avoid fungal diseases caused
by excessive humidity.
