Application Effects and Techniques of Insect Net in Protected Vegetable Cultivation
2026-08-12
The insect-proof net is a new type of covering material manufactured by drawing and weaving polyethylene (PE). It looks similar to window screen. It boasts high tensile strength, UV resistance, heat resistance, water resistance, corrosion resistance and anti-aging properties. Non-toxic and odorless, it has a service life of 4 to 6 years. It retains the merits of shade nets while overcoming their drawbacks, making it worthy of extensive promotion.
1. Covering Methods and Effects
Insect-proof nets are mainly used to cover small and medium-sized tunnels. Full-cycle continuous covering is recommended. Its main effects are as follows:
(1) Pest Prevention
Summer and autumn witness frequent outbreaks of pests such as imported cabbageworms, diamondback moths, Spodoptera litura, cabbage moths and beet armyworms. After covering with insect-proof nets, the fine mesh and year-round coverage block adult pests from flying or crawling into the growing area, forming an artificial barrier in the field to effectively prevent pest invasion. Nets of 20–30 mesh can prevent damage from major pests inside greenhouses, including leafminers, aphids, flea beetles, imported cabbageworms and diamondback moths, achieving excellent pest control results.
(2) Prevention of Viral Diseases
Vegetable viral diseases are generally transmitted by aphids, planthoppers, whiteflies and other pests. By blocking these pests, insect-proof nets cut off transmission routes of viral diseases and reduce their incidence in vegetables.
(3) Reduction of Pesticide Consumption
Without insect-proof nets, vegetable production relies heavily on insecticides, especially in summer and autumn. Frequent pest outbreaks increase cultivation difficulty, leading to frequent and heavy application of chemical pesticides. With insect-proof net covering, pest populations drop sharply or pests fail to appear. This greatly cuts insecticide usage. In some cases, no insecticides are needed throughout the growing season, and vegetable quality is improved accordingly.
(4) Resistance against Typhoons, Heavy Rains and Hail
In summer, strong winds, heavy rains and hail cause mechanical injuries to vegetables, resulting in lodging and seedling death. Thanks to the fine mesh and high mechanical strength of insect-proof nets, they perform remarkably well against heavy rain erosion. During the plum rain season, concentrated heavy rainfall often causes severe losses or total crop failure for leafy vegetables. When covered by insect-proof nets, raindrops strike the net and turn into fine drizzle with greatly reduced impact force, which facilitates vegetable growth and development. In addition, insect-proof nets can withstand strong winds and hail.

Methods for Fixing Insect-Proof Nets in Greenhouses

Methods for Fixing Insect-Proof Nets in Greenhouses
After selecting insect-proof nets of suitable specifications and good quality, the installation and fixing of the nets are also critical to planting outcomes.
I. Fixing Method for Open-Type Greenhouse Insect-Proof Nets
The upper edge of the greenhouse insect-proof net is fixed with film locking grooves and springs, and rolling devices and film rollers are installed at the bottom. This method is ideal for greenhouses with fewer pests and favorable ventilation.
The fixing method for open-type greenhouses features simple operation and high flexibility, allowing indoor temperature adjustment at any time according to climate changes.
II. Stable-Type Fixing Method for Greenhouse Insect-Proof Nets
This approach applies to greenhouses equipped with mandatory ventilation systems. Stretch the insect-proof net evenly around the greenhouse perimeter and secure all edges using film locking grooves and springs.
The above introduces two simple methods for fixing greenhouse insect-proof nets.

PVC window screen
2026-06-16
PVC window screens are either woven from PVC or made with PVC as a component in the material. PVC, short for polyvinyl chloride, is one of the most widely produced plastic products globally. It is inexpensive and widely used. PVC resin appears as a white or light yellow powder. By adding various additives depending on specific applications, PVC plastics can exhibit different physical and mechanical properties. When appropriate amounts of plasticizers are added to PVC resin, it can be processed into a variety of rigid, flexible, and transparent products. PVC window screens are those made from PVC or using PVC as the primary raw material in their construction. Common types include vinyl screens, plastic screens, and screens with PVC coating over other materials—such as invisible screens or fiberglass screens. For example, fiberglass screens are primarily made of glass fiber coated with plastic, while PVC galvanized screens use zinc-coated materials.
What are the advantages of PVC window screens? One major benefit is their resistance to moisture. Thanks to PVC's waterproof nature, these screens generally do not deteriorate when exposed to water, making this their greatest advantage.
However, they also have drawbacks. PVC is highly sensitive to prolonged sun exposure. After about five years under direct sunlight, the screen may begin to peel or crack.

The application of insect-proof nets enables the production of green vegetables.
As the name suggests, insect-proof nets are mainly used for pest prevention. They are widely applied in vegetable greenhouses and orchard insect control. With the increasing occurrence of crop diseases and pests, the excessive use of pesticides has seriously affected the ecological environment and food safety, making insect-proof nets an ideal alternative.
Made of high-density polyethylene added with anti-aging, anti-ultraviolet and other chemical additives, insect-proof nets are woven into mesh fabric through wire drawing. They feature high tensile strength, heat resistance, water resistance, corrosion resistance and anti-aging performance. Non-toxic and odorless, the nets are easy to dispose of after use. They can effectively block common pests, are convenient to store, and have a service life of 3 to 5 years.
Insect-proof nets not only effectively prevent diseases and insect pests and reduce later planting costs, but also eliminate the need for pesticide application. This avoids pesticide pollution and improves vegetable quality — the crops have no insect damage on the surface and no pollution internally, which are deeply popular among consumers.
Promoting the use of insect-proof nets can greatly reduce pesticide consumption and produce green vegetables with little or no pesticide residue, keeping pace with the development trend of the times. The nets are light-transmitting, air-permeable, non-toxic, and not easy to deform under wind and rain.
They are widely used for planting tomatoes, rapeseeds and navel oranges, and serve as isolation net materials for virus-free seed breeding of potatoes. They are essential materials for pollution-free agricultural production and improving breeding purity.
Standard in-stock widths range from 1 to 6 meters, and custom sizes and specifications are available for processing and customization.

Insect-Proof Netting – Ideal for Growing Green Vegetables
As the name suggests, insect-proof netting is mainly used to keep out insects. It is widely applied in vegetable greenhouses and orchards.
With increasingly serious pest problems, pesticide use has been on the rise, greatly affecting public health. Hence, insect-proof netting came into being. Made from polyethylene with anti-aging and anti-UV additives, it is produced into mesh fabric through wire drawing. It features high tensile strength, heat resistance, water resistance, corrosion resistance, aging resistance, non-toxicity, odorlessness, and easy disposal of waste.
It effectively blocks common pests, is easy to store, and has a service life of 3 to 5 years. By preventing pests, insect-proof netting reduces later investment and pesticide use, lowering the risk of pesticide poisoning and improving vegetable quality. Produced vegetables have intact appearances and no pollution, making them popular among consumers.
Promoting insect-proof netting greatly cuts down pesticide application and helps grow green vegetables with little to no pesticide residues, in line with modern development trends. The netting is light-permeable, breathable, non-toxic, and resistant to deformation from wind and rain.
It is widely used for crops such as tomatoes, rapeseed, navel oranges, and as an isolation net for potato virus-free breeding. It is an essential material for producing pollution-free agricultural products and improving breeding purity.
Regular stock is available in widths of 1–3 meters, and custom sizes are also provided.
