Anti-bird nets are woven nets that provide barriers to birds that feed on crops at the farm. Birds commonly feed on vegetables, field crops, and fruits thus causing a reduction in yield.

Bird nets are environment-friendly solutions because they provide non-harmful protection. The material does not harm the birds in any way, it only prevents entry to the crop field.

How Bird Nets Work

Anti-bird nets are suitable for high-value bird-prone fruits such as apples and strawberries. The materials have mesh sizes that prevent smaller birds from getting into the fruit fields.

Pollination will occur normally as wind and rain can penetrate through the material of the bird net. Small insects can still enter through the holes to enhance cross-pollination.

How to Install Anti-Bird Nets

Individual Draping Over Fruits
