Crop protection with insect netting

Insect netting in cucumber greenhouse ventilation windows

To optimise natural crop protection and provide additional protection against external influences, we have invested in insect netting for the ventilation windows of our cucumber greenhouse at ACRES spark. These prefab netting cassettes ensure that biological control remains within the greenhouse, while the crop is safeguarded against pests from outside.

Sustainable cultivation at ACRES means collaborating with nature and employing innovative solutions. With insect netting, we combine efficient biological crop protection with environmentally friendly cultivation, ensuring our cucumbers remain healthy and strong.
