Why Tomato Farmers Choose an Insect Net House from Aqua Hub Kenya

Tomatoes attract many pests, and open fields give those pests easy access to the crop. Whiteflies and aphids feed on the leaves and can carry viral diseases. Moths lay eggs on the plants, and the larvae then damage leaves and fruits. As a result, many farmers spray pesticides often, which raises their costs.

An insect net house places a physical barrier between the pests and your plants. Hence, fewer insects reach the crop, and you can reduce how often you spray. The net also lets in light and air, which tomatoes need to grow well.

Pests an Insect Net House Helps to Keep Out

A fine net blocks many of the insects that harm tomatoes. The pests it helps to keep away include:

• Whiteflies, which feed on leaves and can spread viral diseases
• Aphids, which weaken young shoots
• Tomato leaf miner moths, whose larvae tunnel into leaves and fruits
• Thrips, which scar the skin of fruits

Better Fruit Quality and Fewer Pesticide Sprays

Fruits that face less insect damage look cleaner and sell more easily. In addition, fewer sprays mean lower spending on chemicals and less work for your crew. Moreover, plants that suffer less pest stress keep more of their leaves, which supports steady fruiting. Consequently, you can plan your harvests with more confidence.

Planning the Size of Your Insect Net House

Start with the area of land you want to protect. Measure the length and width of the block, and then decide how tall the structure must be. Tall tomato varieties need a high roof, because plants that touch the net give insects a way in. For this reason, decide your height before you order the net.

Working Out the Net You Need from Aqua Hub Kenya

The net must cover the roof and all four sides, with extra for overlaps and for fixing to the frame. For example, a net house that needs 300 square meters of net costs KES 33,000 for the net at KES 110 per square meter. Add the extra for edges and doors before you calculate the final area. If you are unsure of your measurements, call +254790719020 and our team will help you work out the quantity.

Choosing the Layout and Spacing

Place the net house where the ground is level and drains well. Keep the rows straight, and leave a clear path down the middle so that workers can move with their tools. Furthermore, plan where your water source and drip lines will run, since these affect how you arrange the beds.

Frame and Door Choices for an Insect Net House

The frame holds the net above your crop, hence it must stay firm for many seasons. Strong posts, tight support wires and firm anchors keep the net from sagging or tearing in wind. A weak frame lets the net flap, which wears it faster and can open gaps.

Additionally, the door also needs special care. Insects can follow workers inside, so a door that closes tightly is important to protect your crop. Many farmers add a small entry area with a second door, which means insects have less chance to enter when someone walks in. Every seam and corner must also be fixed well, because a small gap defeats the purpose of the net.

Insect Net House Installation by Aqua Hub Kenya

Aqua Hub Kenya technicians follow a specific procedure when installing your insect net house, including:

• To begin with, they mark out the block and set the post positions.
• Following that, they dig the holes and fix the posts firmly in the ground.
• Once the posts stand firm, they run the support wires across the top.
• Subsequently, they anchor the edges so that the structure resists strong wind.
• With that done, they spread the net over the frame and clip it in place.
• Afterwards, they fix the door and seal the lower edges of the net.
• Lastly, they tighten the net and check the whole structure for gaps.

Growing Tomatoes Inside an Insect Net House

Once the net house is ready, good crop care helps you gain the full benefit. Transplant healthy seedlings, because pests that enter with weak plants can multiply inside the structure. Therefore, you must check the roots and the leaves before you plant.

Watering needs attention as well. Drip irrigation suits a net house, since it places water at the roots and keeps the leaves dry. Dry leaves lower the risk of some fungal diseases. In addition, stake or tie your tomatoes early, so that the plants grow upward and away from the net.

Walk the rows often. Look under the leaves for eggs and small insects that entered before the net was closed. If you find pests, remove the affected leaves quickly and adjust your care. Meanwhile, keep weeds away from the outside walls, since weeds shelter insects close to the net.

Caring for Insect Netting Bought from Aqua Hub Kenya

Insect net lasts longer when you look after it. Therefore, inspect the structure after every storm and check the clips and the anchors. Small holes let insects in, hence why you must repair them as soon as you see them.

Keep the net clean as well. Dust and leaves reduce the light that reaches your plants, so rinse the net with clean water when dirt builds up. Remove fallen branches from the roof at once, because their weight can tear the net. Finally, tighten any slack wire before the windy season begins.
