Farmers depend on good weather to harvest good yields, but sometimes crops get destroyed by harsh weather conditions and pests. In addition, some crops cannot thrive during the cold seasons and vice versa, so farmers must find ways to protect their crops through all seasons.
Protection fabrics from Belton Industries can help you protect your crops from frost and the many insects that threaten the life of produce. Protection fabrics cover everything in the garden. This protects the plants from extreme UV rays and pests like worms and borers. The added merit of protection fabrics is that they allow light to reach the plants without enhancing heat build-up. Additionally, water passes through the protection fabric and is not absorbed. Furthermore, protection fabrics protect plants from outside elements such as humidity.
Different Types of Protection Fabrics
Frost protection
During the winters, farmers struggle to keep their crops alive. Belton provides protection fabrics that help trap heat. These can be useful during the harsh winters. The increase in the temperature under the fabric helps maintain the right conditions for your crops. Most frost protection fabrics are made of polypropylene, which protects plants from frost damage and keeps bugs out. Also, frost protection fabrics are excellent windbreaks, allowing rain to reach the plants and soil.
Lightweight protection fabrics
Belton produces protection that allows crops to grow while also keeping pests away. Lightweight protection fabrics are the best for insect control. They let in 90% of the light and prevent overheating. In addition, these protection fabrics keep beetles from eating holes in the lettuce and block flying insects like potato bugs and grasshoppers. The fabrics balance protection and healthy growth for the crops.
