1. Insect nets
Irri-hub ke offers UV-resistant insect nets designed to protect crops from damage caused by insects by keeping crop-harmful insects at bay while trapping beneficial insects within the structure. The white pigmentation of the nets serves to reflect light from the surface, thus deterring insects from settling on the surface. They ensure crops are insect-free hence preventing diseases or infections brought about by insects. They can be used in a greenhouse and net houses and contribute to about a 40% increase in crop yield while attenuating the need for applying pesticides by about 78%.

2. Bird nets
Bird nets are a protection system that acts as a barrier against birds. The nets are UV treated to lengthen their lifespan under exposure to direct sunlight. Bird nets have enough space to allow pollinators such as bees and ladybirds to pass through. They, however, prevent birds from entering the cropped area and cause damage to trees, flowers and fruits. It is critical to have a bird net when venturing into strawberry, vegetable and apple farming. These nets function effectively without killing or causing any harm to birds.

3. Shade nets
Shade nets protect crops from extreme climatic conditions like excess light, wind and rain. They are ideal for propagating seedlings and horticulture farming. Irri-hub Ke offers UVtreated shade nets of varied light transmission. The percentage on shade nets represents the percentage of light/heat being blocked, e.g. 75% shade net means 75% of light/heat is blocked, and only 25% is allowed in. Choice of the shading net is determined by the type of crop, age or development stage of the crop and climatic conditions of the area.
