Keeping crops under agrotextile netting has multiple benefits such as: higher production and better quality, with fewer resources. It allows the use of bumblebees for pollination, among others.

What is Smart Farming and why should we commit to it?
We define smart agriculture as the incorporation of technological tools in the agricultural field, in order to optimize resources. It is currently focused on innovation for the world's largest producers.
What material are GreenNets nets made of?
For the manufacture of our nets we use TOP QUALITY virgin high-density polyethylene (HDPE), to which specific additives are added to provide them high resistance. We invite you to learn about the complete manufacturing process in this article.
Influence of Anti-Hail Netting on apple cultivation
Anti-hail netting is extensively used in stone and pome fruit growing areas in the north of Spain. Its primary function is to protect the crop from hail damage, but it also influences other aspects of these fruit trees that we detail below.
Impact of Anti-Insect nettings on the GreenHouse microclimate
Bemisia tabaci or whitefly is a pest that seriously affects production, and its control is indispensable in any horticultural crop. In protected crops it is very important to make a correct selection of anti-insect net, with an adequate thread density and quality, to ensure that the insect cannot pass through its pores, and that these are of the same size over the whole surface of the netting, i.e. they are homogeneous.
Properties of Photoselective Netting
Photoselective netting has the property of projecting different parts of the spectrum, depending on the type of net and its colour. The light fraction passing through the holes in the netting remains unchanged, whereas the light hitting the yarns is spectrally modified and diffused at the exit. Depending on the pigmentation of the yarn and the weave design, with different fibres and varying density, the netting provides mixtures of unmodified light and spectrally modified dispersed light.
