Agriculture Crop Covers

After discovering the value of agricultural knowledge—whether from your own experience or through our Academy—you quickly realize how much easier farming becomes when information is clear, practical, and grounded in real science.
This inspires you to learn deeper, improve your farm decisions, or train your team with reliable guidance.

But soon, a new set of questions naturally appears:

  • Where should I start learning? Which topics matter most to my crops?

  • What techniques or methods are proven to work in real fields?

  • Are there step-by-step guides that help me solve specific farming challenges?

  • If I need expert advice, who can I talk to—and where can I get it?

Check out our Academy Guides or connect with us for more hands-on support.

Managing Light and Heat in Vineyards: The Strategic Role of Net Color
Across vineyard projects we’ve supported, one pattern stands out:

net color influences grape development less by “blocking light” and more by shaping how heat and diffuse light interact with the canopy.

Wineries that align net color with climate stress and ripening goals achieve more stable results than those focusing only on shade percentage.

Can Vineyard Nets Maintain Their UV Resistance and Durability Over Time?
From years of supporting vineyard projects, we’ve seen that UV resistance alone doesn’t determine net longevity. The secret to net durability lies in the system: managing installation tension, handling, and seasonal practices matters as much as material choice. Wineries that consider mechanical stress and netting behavior over time experience more consistent protection across seasons.

SWD Mesh Requirements: A Complete Guide for Berry Growers
SWD cannot be controlled without precise mesh selection. This guide explains why 32 mesh (~0.60 mm) is the most reliable standard for berry protection and how growers can balance exclusion, ventilation, and microclimate stability.

Insect Morphology & Mesh Size: Why Vineyards Rarely Need Ultra-Fine Netting
In vineyard netting decisions, insect control is often misunderstood as a mesh-size problem rather than a pathway problem.

Across multiple winery projects we’ve reviewed, results improved only when growers first confirmed that insects consistently entered the fruit zone—not when they simply chose finer mesh.

This guide explains how insect morphology and behavior translate into practical mesh decisions, helping vineyards avoid unnecessary complexity while targeting real risk.

Photoselective Nets: Red, Grey & Yellow Insect Netting Science
Photoselective insect nets modify the light spectrum to influence insect behavior, reduce pest landings, and improve microclimate. Red nets repel thrips, grey nets reduce virus vectors, and yellow nets attract pests and should not be used for exclusion.

Can Vineyard Nets Affect Grape Quality?
From my experience working with vineyards across different regions, I’ve found that grape quality issues are rarely caused by the net itself, but by how light, heat, and airflow are managed after installation.

In real vineyards, factors like shading intensity, net color, installation timing around veraison, and canopy ventilation often determine whether nets help maintain balanced ripening or unintentionally stress the fruit.

These field notes are written from a practical vineyard management perspective, sharing how properly selected and installed netting systems can protect grapes while supporting sugar development, flavor balance, and fruit integrity under real growing conditions.

Mesh Size & Pest Exclusion Physics: The Scientific Basis of Insect-Proof Netting
Most insect netting failures come from choosing mesh by number instead of aperture size. Pest exclusion is a mechanical interaction: if the aperture is smaller than the thorax width, exclusion is guaranteed. This guide explains the physics behind choosing the right mesh.

What is the Return on Investment (ROI) for Vineyard Nets?
From a long-term perspective, the purchase price of vineyard netting is rarely the real cost.
In real vineyards, systems that look cheaper upfront often require more labor, more repairs, and more downtime across multiple seasons—especially in high wind, hail, or high-pressure bird areas.

What truly determines ROI is not just yield protection, but how the netting system performs year after year: installation efficiency, durability, maintenance workload, and replacement cycles.

These field notes focus on vineyard net ROI from an operational and cost-control perspective, helping growers evaluate whether a system delivers real economic value beyond the first season.

Vineyard Netting & Sustainability: Are HDPE Nets Eco-Friendly?
Based on my experience working with vineyard netting projects in different regions, I’ve found that sustainability concerns around HDPE nets often start from a misunderstanding of materials.
Many growers focus on the word “plastic” without considering durability and real-world service life.

In practice, environmental impact is less about material labels and more about how long a net lasts, how often it is replaced, and whether it helps reduce chemical use over time.

This guide is written from a field perspective to explain how HDPE vineyard nets perform in sustainability terms, using lifecycle value rather than surface assumptions.
