Does Reba Alt-Carpo ensure completely chemical-free production?

Alt-Carpo can significantly reduce pest entry; however, for a claim of completely chemical-free production, all pest species in the field, environmental conditions, and the production system must be evaluated together. It can reduce chemical needs but cannot guarantee to eliminate them completely.

Does it reduce air circulation too much due to tighter mesh?

Although its mesh is tighter than standard anti-hail nets, air circulation is not completely cut off thanks to the Leno weave and transparent monofilament structure. Nevertheless, the ventilation scenario should be studied in detail during the project phase in very hot and humid regions.

For which crops do you especially recommend Alt-Carpo?

It is recommended for apples, pears, cherries, blueberries, and high value-added fruit types in regions where both hail and insect pressure are high.

Can it be integrated into an existing anti-hail system later?

Yes, it can be added to the existing pole and construction system with appropriate connection equipment and tensioning details. However, the resistance of the load-bearing system to additional weight and wind load must be checked.

Reba Alt-Carpo

Anti-Hail and Insect Net

Reba Alt-Carpo is a special net system with a tighter mesh size like 2.8 × 4.0 mm, acting as a barrier against both hail and harmful insect entry. Produced using Leno weaving technique and transparent HDPE monofilaments; thus, while high light transmission is maintained, the physical entry of pests is significantly limited. It can help reduce the need for chemical control, especially in regions where codling moth, cherry fruit fly, some lepidopteran larvae, and similar pests are intense. It offers an integrated solution providing protection against hail, wind, and some insect species simultaneously.
