Damages aphids can do to crops
Aphids are dreaded by many farmers because of the damage they can cause. These insects can cause a serious economic loss when they attack plants because they spread virus and diseases which might be very difficult and expensive to manage. An entire garden can be wiped out because of aphid attack. The insect can also reduce the quality of plants, cause poor growth and decreased yield. Aphids are responsible for causing yellowing and mottled leaves. They can also cause stunted growth, browning, curled leaves, and even death of plants.
Why Organic Growers avoid the use of chemicals
As dreaded as aphid attacks can be, organic farmers are always looking for the safest ways to produce their crops. This involves the cultivation of crops without the use of chemicals which may have negative side effects. Pesticides can be found in food, water, and soil. They have also been linked to several human health hazards such as nausea, headache, reproductive harm, cancer and others.
The anti-insect net is a solution to protect your plants more friendly to the environment.
An Alternative to the use of Chemicals
One of the basic ecological requirements of organic growers is to prevent micro-organisms which can harm crops in a natural way. Their system of farming is to grow healthy crops and prevent the spread of harmful micro-organism without using chemicals. This helps to increase yield at harvest and cause the lives of beneficial micro-organisms to be spared. Aphids are one of the most dangerous pests in the world. They can cause serious damages to crops and result in the death of plants. The use of chemicals apart from not being environmental friendly the use of chemicals to control pests is also not cost effective. This is why many farmers look for other alternatives to protect their crops and cut down on the cost of production.
The use of anti aphid net is one of the most effective ways organic growers control aphids and other insects. Since aphids can transmit viruses to plants, it is important to prevent them from having contact with plants. Anti aphid netting prevents aphids and other insects from coming in contact with plants and causing diseases. The size of the holes in the net makes it impossible for aphids and other smaller insects to pass through it.
The anti aphid net does not only help to prevent crops from aphid attack. It also helps to improve air circulation as well as decrease the build-up of damp. In comparison with other systems of crop protection, anti aphid netting creates the ideal microclimate for plants to perform well. It is usually installed on the sides and top of the greenhouse and it is also very easy to install.
The close woven net is made from UV stabilized polyethylene threads. The material is made thick for enhanced durability and to offer proper protection to plants. Anti aphid net is also available in different structures to suit different climates and crops. The net is effective for protecting vegetables such as tomatoes, peppers, marrows as well as other crops that can be attacked by aphids. It is also stabilized from UV degradation which makes it effective for crop protection. The strength of the net also makes it effective as it is strong and tear resistant.
Though plants need protection from insect attacks, they also need adequate amount of sunlight to grow and produce a better yield. For vegetable crops like tomatoes, they need an adequate amount of sunlight for healthy growth and better yield at harvest time. The good thing about using the Anti aphid net is that it does not prevent sunlight from getting to plants. It offers excellent luminosity that allows plants to flourish.
Too the anti-insects mesh helps to the plant allow a correct sunlight exposition.
