What role do insect-proof nets play in the forestry and fruit industries? How should they be cleaned?

　　Insect-proof nets have numerous applications in both agriculture and forestry. Insect-proof net manufacturers will introduce the use of insect-proof nets in the fruit and forestry industry.

　　1. The insect-proofing function of insect nets

　　Once the fruit trees are completely covered throughout their entire growing season, adult pests can no longer fly in. During summer cultivation of fruit trees, it’s possible to largely avoid a variety of pests, including cabbage caterpillars, small cabbage moths, diamondback moths, striped flea beetles, leafhoppers, and aphids.

　　2. The preventive effect of insect-proof nets

　　The disease-prevention effect of fruit tree insect-proof nets primarily lies in their ability to effectively block the entry of pests, cut off the transmission routes of viruses, and reduce the occurrence and damage caused by virus-carrying insects. In addition, thanks to their excellent ventilation, these nets also help to some extent prevent certain bacterial and fungal diseases.

　　3. The sun-shading and cooling effect of insect-proof nets

　　Excessive sunlight can negatively affect fruit trees by accelerating their metabolism and causing them to decline. After being covered with insect-proof netting, a portion of the sunlight is blocked, allowing crops to receive the light they need for photosynthesis. White insect-proof netting typically has a shading rate of 15% to 20%. As light passes through white insect-proof netting, it is scattered, resulting in a more uniform distribution of light within the net. This reduces the phenomenon of insufficient light reaching the lower leaves caused by the upper branches and foliage of fruit trees, thereby improving the overall utilization of light.

　　4. Disaster-resistant function of insect-proof nets

　　The materials used to manufacture fruit tree insect-proof nets possess high mechanical strength. When heavy rain or hail strikes the net, the impact is absorbed and cushioned, effectively reducing the damage that severe weather events such as heavy rainfall and storms can inflict on crops. At the same time, these insect-proof nets also offer a certain degree of protection against frost damage.

　　5. Insect-proof nets save labor and costs.

Although shade nets used in production offer excellent shading effects, excessive shading is not advisable and should not be applied throughout the entire growing cycle. Instead, they need to be used to provide shade during midday while allowing plants to bask in full sunlight both day and night—or alternatively, used to provide partial shade when needed. As a result, managing such systems can be quite labor-intensive. In contrast, insect-proof nets provide much less shade and can be used continuously throughout the entire growing period without needing to be removed, making management far more effortless. After covering fruit trees with insect-proof nets, it’s possible to completely eliminate the need for pesticides throughout the entire growth season, effectively controlling pesticide contamination and saving on both pesticide costs and labor required for spraying.

　　How do I clean a stainless steel insect screen?

　　To make it easier to clean stainless steel items, first gently brush off any loose dust from both sides using a soft brush. Then, dip two sponges or pieces of plastic foam into a solution of laundry detergent or soapy water—holding one in each hand—and clamp them onto the same section of the screen mesh from both sides. Wipe the mesh from left to right and from top to bottom.

　　Dip a clean cloth in water and gently wipe the screen to remove the dust. You can also lay several layers of old newspaper on the floor, remove the stainless steel insect screen, place another layer of old newspaper over the mesh surface, and then use a wooden spoon to scrape it clean. This way, most of the grease will stick to the newspaper. Replace the newspaper repeatedly until most of the grease has been absorbed by the paper. Next, use a wire brush to scrub around the mesh surface. Finally, wipe the entire surface clean with a damp cloth.
