In the ever-evolving agricultural and horticultural farming industry, maximising crop yield with precision farming while ensuring plant health and protection is of utmost importance. Multiknit’s SpectraNet, a shade netting design that helps with climate control and light management within greenhouses and nurseries, is allowing farmers to yield better harvests and enjoy the satisfaction of less external stress.
SpectraNet is crafted from high-density polyethylene, fortified with UV stabilisers and vibrant colour concentrates. Its knitted lock-stitch pattern not only ensures durability but also prevents fraying and unravelling, making it a reliable choice for creating controlled microclimates. This design allows for consistent air circulation and moisture exchange, while reducing the need for excessive watering and chemical interventions.
Plants and crops face unexpected challenges – from scorching sun and hailstorms to pest invasions and unforeseen weather patterns. SpectraNet acts as a shield against these adversities, creating a defence action against sunburn, hail damage, wind stress, and pest attacks. Improved growth in the environment, as well as better quality and yield of seedlings, fruits, vegetables, and plants, are all benefits that comes from having a safeguard – SpectraNet.
The effectiveness of this shade net extends beyond protection as it actively influences plant physiology through light manipulation. By modulating the quantity and quality of photosynthetic active radiation (PAR), SpectraNet optimises photosynthesis (the fundamental process driving plant energy production and growth). This manipulation of light wavelengths also enhances photomorphogenesis which influences the size, shape, and appearance of plants for improved profit and yield.
SpectraNet is built to endure and has exceptional characteristics. It is resistant to rot, does not absorb water, and is non-combustible, ensuring longevity and safety in agricultural environments. The shade netting is ozone-friendly and comes with a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty against UV degradation, which showcases its reliability and commitment to sustainable farming.
From small nurseries to large-scale greenhouse operations, SpectraNet empowers farmers to grow healthier, more productive plants while reducing environmental impacts and have consistent crop protection with enhanced growth opportunities.
