Anti-aphid net

For the organic grower one of the most important ecological requirements is to prevent the spread of micro-organisms, which are harmful to crops, without the use of chemicals.

The transmission of viruses occurs to a large extent through harmful bugs, therefore, it is important to prevent the contact between aphids and crops using specific barriers.

This can be achieved with nets applied to the side windows of the greenhouses and on the roof to improve air circulation and decrease the build up of damp.

In comparison with other systems, TENAX nets offer the optimum effective ecological solution and guarantee the ideal microclimate.

Plain weaving
TENAX ANTIAFIDE nets plain weaving with round monofilament yarn allows interlacement without knots by overlapping alternatively warps and wefts perpendicularly.
In this way threads can be brought so close to reach a very high shading factor that doesn’t let insects trough, even the smallest ones. Nevertheless the net is not impermeable so that water and air can circulate.
