Drought and Agriculture: How to Face It?
Drought poses a challenge for agriculture, but protected agriculture and the use of agricultural nets are effective alternatives that reduce the water requirement, protect crops, and improve irrigation efficiency, contributing to water saving and proper use.
What are the characteristics and properties of agricultural nets and how do they influence cultivation?
Agricultural netting have a significant impact on agricultural exploitation, influencing physiological aspects of crop growth and providing protection against weather and pests. Their structural characteristics, materials, fabrics, and radiometric and physical properties determine their effectiveness. In a context of limited resources, understanding these characteristics is important.
What characteristics should have an anti-insects netting, to maintain good ventilation in greenhouses?
Anti-insects netting is a physical barrier that prevents the entry of pests into closed cultivation structures. To maintain proper ventilation in greenhouses, it is necessary to increase the ventilation surface or use nets with finer fibers and more rectangular pores. Learn about the most suitable options, in this article.
Protected production vs restrictions on phytosanitary products
In the current context in which numerous active substances have restricted or prohibited use, it is essential to optimize natural protection means to the maximum, including those related to greenhouse isolation conditions and the good state of anti-insect netting.
Protected agriculture is a vital component of sustainable farming practices
The agriculture of the future must be sustainable, healthy, competitive, and profitable. Protected agriculture allows for greater control of the microclimate, optimizes resources, and promotes better and greater plant development. What is sustainable agriculture? What is protected agriculture, and what are its benefits?.
