Description
OptiNet is an anti-insect net that also uses light to repel thrips.The net contains optical additives (non-toxic) that blind and repel the insects before they reach the net.This innovative net dramatically reduces the number of pests entering the crop environment, especially thrips and also whitefly and leafminer.
Fewer pesticides are required, as dual protection significantly reduces insect entry into the greenhouse while maintaining proper airflow and lowering overall costs.
The optical properties of the net are not reduced over the years and are maintained throughout the nets’ life cycle.
OptiNet blocks penetration of insects in two ways:
- Optic protection: Insects are repelled by the screen’s optical additives.
- Physical protection: The fine 50 mesh screen provides a second line of protection.
Specifications:
- Shade Percentage: 17-19%
- Hole Size: 0.78 x 0.25 mm
- UV Resistance: 5 Years
