Its not just hail netting

5 Key Benefits:

Hail Netting

Shields crops from hailstones, reduces fruit loss, and protects blossoms for better yields while enhancing orchard longevity.

Sunburn Prevention

Reduces light intensity and fruit surface temperature, minimizing plant stress and improving crop quality.

Wind Defence

Acts as a barrier to lower wind speed, prevents damage to branches and fruit, and supports stable plant growth.

Microclimate Stability

Regulates temperature and humidity, creating optimal growing conditions for higher yields.

Pest Control

Blocks insects and birds, and protects against pests like the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB).

GROW BETTER BY CROP

From intensive pipfruit to vulnerable berries, we understand the specialised protection needs of different crops and growing styles.

Success story

See how our end-to-end solutions are protecting crops across New Zealand:

Enhanced apple production through advanced netting design

“The colour differences with the Hortivate netting over against the old — when the fruit was harvested, we probably picked another 20% per row — which makes a massive difference in terms of management and logistics in the field.”
