A 28-Year Legacy Built on a Single Promise:
Protecting the Harvest, Empowering the Grower.

Welcome to my page.
For the past 28 years, my team and I have provided crop protection solutions to over 1,300 clients in more than 55 countries.
Here, I want to share my story and how we can help you achieve a better harvest.

Over the years, I’ve worked directly with orchard owners, vineyard managers, greenhouse growers, and agricultural importers—helping them design, install, and optimize crop protection netting systems that stand up to real-world farming conditions.
Where It All Began
A Father's Factory, A Son's Purpose.

The hum of machinery was the soundtrack to my childhood, and my father, its conductor.

Wind, frost, rain, and sun nourish everything that grows, but sometimes they can also cause harm.
“How can we better protect them?”
I found the answer to this question in my childhood.

I often saw my father working with his beloved machines in his factory. He told me that the netting they produced was like a suit of strong ‘armor’ for the plants, guarding them against the harshness of nature. At that moment, I felt a sense of wonder and pride.

Today, I have taken over my father’s business, continuing this legacy of protection.
That early understanding shapes how I evaluate netting systems — not by how they look in catalogs, but by how they perform season after season in the field.

I am fully dedicated to advancing crop protection technology, committed to working alongside every grower with more advanced and eco-friendly solutions.

We firmly believe that by protecting every crop, we are ultimately safeguarding the hard work of growers and contributing to a more abundant, quality future for the world.

Our Philosophy
More Than Protection, It's Precision Growth Control

We use optical and material science to turn a simple net into a high-efficiency crop growth regulator

By precisely regulating shade and ventilation, we build a comprehensive crop protection system. It actively defends against harsh conditions like hail and high winds, ensuring a stable environment for optimal growth

A stable microclimate allows crops to devote more energy to fruit development. Unique diffused light technology boosts overall photosynthesis for better sugar content and flavor.

This is a cutting-edge technology. Our colored Agrotextiles selectively filter the light spectrum, sending specific growth signals to plants to stimulate flowering, enhance color, or delay harvest.

A Solution for Every Challenge

From universal threats to unique environmental challenges, our comprehensive product line has been meticulously crafted over 28 years to provide a specific and reliable answer for every grower.

A Solution for Every Challenge

I believe the best solutions are born from collaboration. Let’s talk about the unique challenges of your land and craft a protection strategy that’s tailored specifically for you.

Sharing is the Best Way to Grow

“The more I share, the more I grow.” I firmly believe this.
Here, I’ll share my 28 years of experience to help you better understand and use agrotextiles.

Buyers rarely need to memorise UV chemistry — they need to know which system belongs in their product.

HALS scavenges the radicals UV creates and is the backbone of almost every net we make. UV absorbers suit thicker, pigmented goods. Carbon black is the most durable of all — unpigmented polyethylene lasts about 9 months outdoors, a carbon-black grade over 25 — but only where black is acceptable.

I once had a buyer insist a black net “lasts longer because it’s black.” He was half right. You can’t borrow carbon black’s durability for a coloured net. This guide compares all three with real numbers, then gives you a decision framework you can apply straight to a quote.

The single most expensive mistake I watch buyers make is comparing two nets by their UV grade and their price, and ignoring the one number that actually caps lifespan: weight.

UV protection has a ceiling, and yarn weight (GSM) sets it. A thin, low-GSM net has too much surface for too little material — it degrades faster than any stabilizer can protect, no matter how much HALS you load in. I’ve watched “same UV grade” nets at half the grams tear open in their second season.

This guide covers why GSM caps UV life, how to compare grams per m² instead of just price per m², and the two-number rule we give every serious buyer.

— Kevin Lyu, EyouAgro
After 28 years making HDPE netting, the hardest myth to kill is that a “UV stabilized” label means the resin underneath it will last. It won’t, if that resin is recycled.

Recycled HDPE carries impurities, catalyst residue and already-broken polymer chains. Those chains soak up UV stabilizer before the sun does its damage, and they seed the cracks that show up in year two. Same label, half the field life.

This guide covers how recycled resin drains stabilizer, how to tell virgin from regrind before you order, and why we run 100% virgin HDPE on every line.

— Kevin Lyu, EyouAgro
The growers who ask me about Silvereye damage in Margaret River and McLaren Vale — it’s almost never a mesh size problem. They’ve already tried 12 mm netting and the birds still got through. The actual problem is tension: a 12 mm mesh that opens to 14 mm under installation pressure lets Silvereyes through reliably. The fix isn’t sourcing finer mesh everywhere — it’s specifying 8–10 mm aperture under tension, not nominal. That specification is rarely stocked locally in commercial roll quantities. — Kevin Lyu, EyouAgro
Every season I hear the same question from Karnataka growers: ‘Which shade net brand is best?’ It’s the wrong question. The right question is: what shade percentage matches your specific crop stage and district’s UV index, and is the HDPE virgin or recycled? A 50% monofilament net from a lesser-known manufacturer using certified virgin resin will outlast a ‘premium brand’ product using recycled content by 3–4 seasons. Verify the resin spec before the brand name.
UK growers almost always ask me about mesh size first. That’s the wrong starting point. The starting point is species: Wood Pigeon and Blackbird are not the same problem, and the netting that handles one does not handle the other. A 20mm mesh excludes Wood Pigeons from a Herefordshire cider orchard u2014 but in Kent strawberry beds where Starlings swarm in August, 20mm is useless. Get the species right, then get the supplier. u2014 Kevin Lyu, EyouAgro
Across 28 years supplying insect netting in 12+ countries, the one question I always ask new buyers is: “Which insect are you actually trying to block?” Half the time the answer is vague—”all the bad ones,” or “something fine.” That’s almost always the start of a wrong purchase. The right insect net isn’t the finest one you can buy; it’s the coarsest one that still excludes your specific pest, with vent area sized to compensate for the airflow loss.

This guide is built around that question—from pest identification to mesh count to install sealing—so you can specify the right net the first time and avoid the heat, humidity, and disease problems that “just go finer” creates.

— Kevin Lyu, EyouAgro
Across farm and greenhouse projects we’ve supported, we’ve learned that “one mesh for everything” is the fastest way to lose either airflow or protection.

From a technical support perspective, the most reliable method is Crop → Key pest → Minimum safe aperture → Ventilation & pollination plan, because a net that blocks pests but overheats the crop is not a win.

— Kevin Lyu, EyouAgro
Vineyard netting is no longer an optional add-on—it’s becoming essential infrastructure. As weather volatility, bird and pest pressure, and labor costs rise, netting shifts vineyards from reactive damage control to proactive risk management, improving consistency in yield, quality, and seasonal planning.
This guide helps growers choose photoselective nets by matching net properties to vineyard climate, canopy structure, and production goals—turning light theory into practical decisions.
Across vineyard projects we’ve supported, outcomes are consistent: netting succeeds only when the system matches real labor, layout, and risk.

Vineyards that choose systems they can fully deploy on time protect fruit reliably. Those that don’t see gaps—regardless of net quality.
Across vineyard projects we’ve supported, one pattern is consistent:

netting performance is usually limited by system choice, not net quality.

When labor capacity, risk exposure, and coverage depth are aligned, even standard nets perform reliably.
The right system allows netting to work with vineyard operations—not against them.
Correct shade cloth installation impacts tomato performance more than the shading percentage itself. This expert guide explains the ideal height, essential ventilation design, and irrigation adjustments required to prevent heat stress, reduce cracking, and stabilize microclimate conditions for high-quality tomato production.
From what I’ve seen across different vineyards, netting problems often start before the net is even installed—usually because the timing was misjudged.

In real vineyard operations, installing too early can interfere with spray programs, airflow, and canopy management, while installing too late exposes fruit to bird pressure, sunburn, and weather risks right when damage is hardest to reverse.
