What are Insect Nets for?

Insect nets offer protection to crops against various pests like aphids, thrips, cutworms, flea beetles, whiteflies and leaf miners. Because such insects destroy crops, they tend to lower the farmers yield significantly. They could even result in the loss of an entire harvest. Any farmer understands how devastating such an outcome can be. Therefore, many Kenyan farmers choose to use insect nets to protect their crops and mitigate yield loss from pests.

Unlike with pesticides, the protection that netting offers is long-lasting. Hence, your crop’s safety is guaranteed throughout the growing season and not just after the crops have been sprayed.

Which Plants are Most in Need of Protection?

Insect nets are ideal for use on most plants because attacks by pests are common in all crops. Therefore, if you are looking to protect your crops, considering an insect net is necessary. However, certain plants like leafy greens and fruits tend to be at higher risk of attacks from pests. Thus, farmers grow these crops under insect nets for shelter and security.

Farmers typically use insect nets to protect crops such as:

• Tomatoes
• Capsicum
• Kale
• Cabbage
• Spinach
• Grapes
• Berries
• Cucumbers

Tomatoes

Tomatoes are especially vulnerable to attacks by several pests such as:

• Whiteflies
• Aphids
• Stink bugs
• Cutworms
• Nematodes
• Hornworms
• Spider mites
• Slugs and snails

Farmers can implement various strategies to protect their tomato plants from these pests. Some of these strategies include using pesticides and employing crop rotation. These strategies address the problem after the plant has already been affected, which results in some losses being incurred. In contrast, insect nets prevent the pests from reaching the crop in the first place.

Cabbages

The main insects that attack cabbages in Kenya include diamondback moths, aphids, root maggots, flea beetles and cabbage worms. These pests spread diseases or feed on various parts of the crop such as the leaf or sap. This damages the crop resulting which in turn causes loses for farmers. Addressing these pests before any damage is incurred is necessary if the farmer wants to minimize yield lose. Insect nets offer preventative protection meaning that the pests are addressed before they can damage the crop.

If you are a cabbage farmer looking to protect your crop from any of these pests, call 0790719020 to get Aqua Hub’s premium insect nets for your specific use case.

Grapes

Grapevines face attacks from a number of pests that damage the leaves, stems, roots and fruits. Some of these pests include:

• grape leafhopper
• mealybugs
• grape berry moth
• grape vein beetle
• thrips

Such pests can infect the grape crop with disease-causing viruses or destroy the plant’s parts. As such, it is necessary to install insect nets to protect the crop from these pests. Selecting a high quality insect net, such as the ones offered by Aqua Hub Kenya, is mandatory. This ensures that your pest protection is long lasting and lasts the entire lifecycle of the crop.

Are there crops that do not require netting?

Most crops can be grown without the use of insect nets. Nonetheless, it is important to protect your crops using netting in case you want guaranteed protection from pests. Some crops, however, tend to not use barrier protection at all. These tend to be crops that are grown in large open fields such as maize, cassava, sweet potatoes, sorghum and beans. Despite that, these crops would still benefit from the additional protection that netting offers especially when they are still seedlings or for small scale farmers who want to save money on pesticides.

Benefits of Insect Netting

Aqua Hub’s nets have a large number of benefits from protecting plants from pests to improving overall quality yeild

Pest Protection

As discussed previously, nets offer a protective barrier to crops that ensures they remain healthy throughout the duration of their growth. This reduces the loses suffered by farmers due to pest infestation. Insect nets are a superior pest-prevention strategy as they address the problem before the pests come into contact with the crop. Therefore, many farmers in Kenya are choosing to invest in high-quality netting for their crops, such as those found at Aqua Hub Kenya.

Minimize the Use of Chemicals

When farmers grow crops under insect nets, there is no need for them to also use pesticides. This in turn lowers the cost of production thus increasing the profit margins. Additionally, not using chemicals for crops means that there is no residue left on them which could be consumed by buyers and impact their health.

Eco-friendliness

Chemicals used in agriculture, such as pesticides, can easily seep into the soil or water sources such as rivers and lakes. These chemicals are not always non-toxic and they could damage other flora and fauna in the vicinity. Using Aqua Hub’s high quality insect nets removes the need for potentially dangerous pesticides. This makes the use of insect nets eco-friendly.

Increase Crop Market Value

Consumers are increasingly looking for organically grown foods (food that has been grown without the use of artificial additives such as pesticides) due to health concerns. Insect nets allow farmers to grow crops without the use of most of these additives, especially pestivides. In addition to that, the netting protects the crop from blemishes that naturally occur when a crop is grown in the open field. This increases the market value of the crop significantly.

Weather Shielding

In addition to protecting crops from pests, insect nets also offer a shield from various weather elements such as hail which could potentially cause damage to the crops. The color on the netting can also deflect UV-rays that could cause sunburn thus lowering the value of the crops, especially with regards to leafy greens where leaf quality is important. Farmers can protect their crops from both pests and adverse weather elements by calling Aqua Hub Kenya to purchase the best netting in the country through 0790719020.
