When I first began my vineyards, my losses ran into millions. Many birds descended into my ripe grapes, leaving unpleasant destruction. Birds bring yield loss and quality issues arising from grape damage. Fungi and bacteria then move in.
According to Michigan State University, bird damage begins around veraison and continues until late fall, when grapes are harvested. Without bird control, crop losses can reach up to 95% and 60% in red and white varieties, respectively.
Effective bird control is advisable to increase the profitability of your vineyard.
The most effective and widely used way to control birds on vines is bird netting for grapes.
Eyouagro provides high-quality bird nets for grapes worldwide. They are easy to install, durable plastic, and suitable for all seasons.
Vineyard netting
Pest birds are known for their destructive tendencies in vineyards and other fruit. They damage crops, reduce the growth of fruits like grapes, and can even spread diseases. This leads to low grape production, wine quality, and, therefore, lower sales revenue.
To stop this, you must cover your grapes with fabric to protect them from the birds. The problem is that birds love to be in the vineyards. That’s not good if you want to reap profit from your vineyard.
Our wide range of vineyard netting products includes bird netting for grapes and other crop protection. Now you can easily protect your vineyard and make all your fruits last longer and taste better.
