What is hail?
Hailstorms usually result from unstable weather or thunderstorms, typically between spring and fall. The intense pressure of warm air pushes the rain back to a point where the drops freeze into balls. The stronger the wind’s push, the longer the raindrop is rolling in the clouds, resulting in a bigger hailstone size.
In the summer season, hail happens because the freezing level in the sky is high, but the hailstones melt on their way to the ground due to hot weather. A bigger stone will not melt and is likely to cause damage.
Nevertheless, the spring and fall temperatures are moderate, allowing the hailstone to melt before it reaches the ground. Along these lines, there are more hailstorms in areas at higher altitudes, as their land is closer to the horizon, like many areas in Canada. Besides that, many other countries and places face hail every year.
As hailstorms and hail occur in warm and cold climates, EYOUAGRO sees that and offers its hail netting for both climate conditions. EYOUAGRO Hail Netting covers the cold weather and caters to the need for hail netting for warm weather.
Hail netting in warm climates
Countries close to the equator experience warmer climates. People face boiling summer weather and face hailstorms in these places, expected in spring and fall. Hail netting can serve clients’ needs in warmer climates: shade and hail protection.
A farmer lost three-quarters of his Lychee fruit due to a massive hailstorm in Queensland. He is probably not alone in suffering hail damage. On the Sunshine Coast, giant hailstones as big as tennis balls struck orchards and farms.
EYOUAGRO offers a hail netting system for these customers throughout the year. This option will benefit agriculture clients and corporate people, too. Hail netting protection will save them from the sun in the summer season and prevent hailstone damage in the spring and fall seasons. Shade is essential for the crops so that they won’t burn before their total growth. Similarly, a hail net is also important to save the crops from damage until they become fruitful.
Hail netting in cold climates
Countries away from the equator or places located at higher altitudes face cold climates. In colder areas, people look for hail protection to save their crops, as it is very tough to grow plants in these climates.
The Netherlands also experiences a higher number of hail showers. A study on changing weather suggested that hailstorms will increase in the future and are predicted to damage farmers’ outdoor crops by 25 to 50% by the end of 2050.
The hail netting system offered by EYOUAGRO is beneficial for colder locations because of the following reasons:
- It isn’t easy to accumulate snow and hail. The hail netting is durable and robust enough to bear heavy hail weight.
- If well protected, crops look fuller and more beautiful. Natural sunlight will enhance their value when sold.
Clear sky, a clear mind
Hail netting is essential for crops in warm and cold climates. Many scholars recommend installing hail nets to protect plants from hail damage.
People have reported losses in past years due to hailstorms and have recommended it. Inappropriate protection against hail can cause damage to everyone, as its damage is not in the hundreds but thousands of dollars.
Hail netting installed on the agriculture field will protect crops from hail and birds, resulting in highly profitable sales.
Damage to agriculture caused by hail
In the past couple of years, hail has caused quite noticeable damage worldwide. News channels have been reporting hailstorms of an orange size in Italy. Record-breaking hail occurred in Colorado, with a size that could quickly kill a person.
Kenya is known for a house of hailstorms. A part of farmers’ life is worsening with time. In Kenya, a significant hailstorm occurred at the beginning of 2020, leaving the borders walled with icy rocks. Kenya’s people always prepare themselves for hailstorms, but predicting hail showers with the changing weather conditions is challenging.
President of the Australian Custard Apple Growers Association, Mr. Jackson, predicted a million-dollar loss of tree crops due to hailstorms in Australian regions.
In Glasshouse Mountains, an unpredicted hail shower within fifteen months destroyed the farms of lychee, custard apple, and dragon fruit for the third time.
Within a few previous years, there have been uncountable hailstorm damage incidents to farms. Timely precautions are necessary to save the money and effort of all farmers. EYOUAGRO is well aware of hail and offers its top-quality product that can protect everyone and everything from hail of any size.
How to protect agriculture growth with hail netting
Fruit trees, crops, and orchards are badly affected by hailstorms. Within minutes it destroys the plant. For this reason, hail netting is a must-act for farmers, agriculture, crop owners, and gardeners to prevent their crops from hail.
Hail nets consist of a monofilament of high-density polyethylene knitted into a diamond-shaped mesh of 7 to 10 mm.
Different types of hail nets are available based on your needs. The edges, eyelets, and centreline made its installation comfortable and extra durable. Hail protection netting is economical and has varieties that fit your needs. Besides preventing hail, it can work as a shade and bird net.
