Protecting orchards from devastating hail with hail nets

Hail is a natural phenomenon that scares orchardists. Its destructive effects can wipe out an entire season's harvest in minutes, causing significant losses to farmers. However, there is a solution that can help protect orchards from hailstorms – anti-hail netting. In this blog post, we will explore the importance of these protection solutions and introduce OMB Textile, a professional anti-hail netting manufacturer and supplier from China.

 Learn about the threat of hail:

 Hail forms when the strong updraft of a thunderstorm carries raindrops aloft and freezes. When these frozen water droplets fall, they can move at speeds of up to 100 mph, causing serious damage to plants and crops. Orchards are especially vulnerable to hail because the force of the hail can hit the delicate fruit directly, causing bruises, scars, and even total destruction.

 Brief introduction of anti-hail net:

 Hail netting acts as a physical barrier between hail and fruit trees or crops. They are specifically designed to withstand the effects of hail while providing adequate light, rain and air circulation for optimal plant growth. These meshes are usually made of high density polyethylene (HDPE) or polypropylene (PP) material for durability and longevity.

 Anti-Hail Mesh by OMB Textile:

 OMB Textile offers a wide range of anti-hail nets to suit different agricultural needs.

They are available in a variety of sizes, densities and colours, enabling farmers to choose the most suitable option for their orchard.

 Advantages of anti-hail net:

 1. Anti-hail: The main purpose of these nets is to provide a physical barrier against hail and reduce or completely prevent damage to crops caused by hail.

 2. Temperature regulation: In addition, the anti-hail net can also help regulate the temperature by reducing the intensity of direct sunlight. This prevents sunburn on the fruit and ensures optimal growing conditions.

 3. Pest Control: These nets can effectively deter pests and insects, minimize the need for chemical pesticides, and promote natural pest control methods.

 4. Improved water management: Nets can control irrigation by minimizing excessive contact of rainwater with fruits and crops, thereby preventing damp-induced diseases.

 5. LONG LASTING INVESTMENT: OMB Textile's anti-hail netting is designed to withstand harsh weather conditions and has a long service life, making it a cost-effective investment for fruit growers.anti hail nets.jpg
