Insect nets are a new type of protective cover for agriculture, fishing and animal husbandry. It provides shade, rain protection, moisture and cooling in summer, as well as some insulation and humidification. So which aspects should we pay attention to when choosing insect nets?
1. to distinguish the material of the insect netting
There are two types of materials used to produce insect nets on the market: one is chemical high-density polyethylene, and the other is recycled old insect nets or plastic products obtained by reprocessing. Insect-proof nets produced with recycled materials not only have a low finish, a hard feel and a pungent smell, but also have a short life span, most of them only last for about one and a half years; whereas insect-proof nets produced from high-density polyethylene are durable and have a life span of up to five years.
2. Buy insect nets by weight
There are two ways of selling insect-proof nets on the market: one is by area and one is by weight. When choosing, don't rely on just one way of buying. Look carefully at the density of the material and beware of poor quality 'weight' insect nets.
3.Choose different insect nets according to the type of vegetables
Insect screens on the market today are mainly white, but there are also many coloured insect screens on sale. The colour does not determine the quality of the nets. These colours are added during the manufacture of the raw material. Therefore, different insect screens should be chosen for different types of vegetables.
Generally speaking, the life expectancy of insect-proof nets is two to five years. However, there are an increasing number of sunscreen manufacturers on the market and a wide variety of product qualities, so it is impossible to accurately predict the exact lifespan of a sunscreen.
However, a good quality insect screen will last a long time and will not experience some damage as often. If you buy a more average or poor quality insect netting, the screen will soften and deform over a period of time. Therefore, when shopping for insect protection nets, you should choose a better quality product so that you can avoid secondary coverage of the same crop and better protect it.
