Crop netting
A nethouse keeps insects, hail and harsh sun off vegetable crops like tomatoes and peppers, with fewer sprays and more marketable yield.
What the research shows
Marketable tomato yield under fine insect mesh, against 2.7 t/ha in the open (first season).

The yield figures come from a two-year trial in Tanzania. Daytime temperatures under the nets were higher than outside, so ventilation matters in hot areas.

Smaller mesh kept out more insects and gave higher yields than larger mesh in the trial. We'll match the mesh to your pests and climate.
