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?

Understand how light, UV and microclimate change under netting – and what it means for your crop yield.
A grower with a 200-hectare orchard learned the hard way that cheap hail netting can lead to costly failures. After just two seasons, low-grade materials and missing UV protection caused massive breakdowns. Discover how EyouAgro’s high-quality, warrantied netting prevents these risks and protects your long-term investment.
Sunburn is the loss growers underestimate until they see the pack-out. It isn’t cosmetic — in a bad heat year it can take 10–50% of the crop, fruit that looked fine on the tree and graded out at the shed.

After 28 years supplying orchards in hot regions like Australia, Chile, and Spain, the fix I keep coming back to is the net: a 20–30% shade or hail net drops fruit surface temperature 4–6°C, which is the difference between healthy skin and browning that starts at 46°C.

You can’t repair sunburnt fruit — you can only keep the surface below the threshold. That’s a netting decision.

Excessive UV-B exposure damages plants by inhibiting photosynthesis, disrupting growth, and lowering yields. Using UV-protective materials like shade nets helps control UV-B stress, ensuring healthier crops and better productivity.
Excessive UV-B exposure damages plants by inhibiting photosynthesis, disrupting growth, and lowering yields. Using UV-protective materials like shade nets and greenhouse films helps control UV-B stress, ensuring healthier crops and better productivity.
UV light can both benefit and harm plants. While low levels aid photosynthesis and growth, excess UV causes stress and DNA damage. Agricultural protection nets reduce harmful UV, improve light balance, and stabilize the microclimate—helping farmers grow healthier, higher-yield crops
UV radiation influences plant productivity through effects on photosynthesis, pigmentation, and defense mechanisms. UV-A promotes growth, while UV-B can enhance resistance or cause damage if unmanaged. Discover how UV management through films and netting boosts yield and crop quality.
Netting color plays a key role in shaping your crop’s microclimate. White nets promote early growth, black nets delay ripening, and gray nets offer balance. Learn how to choose the right color to match your growing strategy and optimize yield timing.
Rain covers reduce cracking and boost yield in cherries, but they also modify orchard microclimate by reducing sunlight, raising canopy temperature, and altering humidity. These changes can impact fruit color, firmness, and overall quality. This article explains how rain covers influence cherry physiology and why high-transmittance anti-dripping films provide better protection without compromising fruit quality.
