Application of Shade Net in Autumn and Winter

So, what do you need to pay attention to when laying shade nets in autumn and winter?

First, when covering the shade net, the management of the shade net should be strengthened according to the weather changes and the different periods of plant growth. Before emergence, the net should be covered all day, and after emergence, the net should be uncovered at both ends to see the light at noon when the sun is strong. When it is cloudy, it can be covered all day, but it must be covered in time before the rainstorm.

Second, the width of the shade net can be arbitrarily cut and spliced. The method of cutting is cut off by high heat with electric heating wire, because the shade net can be fused into a channel after high heat break, and will not be loose. Splicing method is to use nylon thread on the sewing machine or hand sewing, do not use wire or aluminum wire binding, so as not to cause mechanical fracture, and affect the service life of the shade net.

Third, it is important to select the appropriate shade net material. Different types of shade net materials have different functions, such as some materials are more suitable for heat preservation, while others are better at preventing frost. It is recommended to choose a professional shade net suitable for the specific crop and climate conditions.

Lastly, regular inspections and maintenance of the shade net are necessary to prolong its lifespan and ensure its effectiveness. The net should be cleaned regularly to prevent dirt build-up and to maintain its clarity. In addition, it is important to replace a damaged shade net promptly to prevent pests and diseases from entering.

Overall, proper use and maintenance of the shade net can bring many benefits to vegetable farming during autumn and winter, including protecting crops from the cold and enhancing productivity.
