In this article, Álvarez AJ, Oliva RM from the University of Almería, talk to us about the use of anti-insect nets as a method for crop protection. They discuss how these nets have evolved to become an effective tool for pest control. The challenges in terms of pore size and porosity to allow air exchange, and the importance of adapting the net to the specific pest species to achieve optimal results.

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.

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.
