Overview
Shade net farming involves using netted structures to provide crops with protection from excessive sunlight and harsh weather conditions. This technique is often used to grow crops that are sensitive to direct sunlight, such as leafy vegetables, herbs, and flowers. Shade nets help create the perfect growing environment by reducing heat stress, protecting plants from wind, and conserving moisture. At Dhannaseth, we offer expert advice and financial support to set up shade net structures that will protect your crops and increase yield.
The Growing Shade Net Market
As agricultural practices evolve, farmers are increasingly turning to shade net farming to ensure better crop protection and higher productivity. Shade netting helps to reduce water evaporation, control temperatures, and protect crops from pests, making it an essential tool for growers in hot or dry climates. With the increasing need for sustainable and efficient farming methods, shade net farming is expected to continue growing in popularity, especially in regions with high sunlight exposure.
Subsidy Value
Setting up a shade net structure involves costs for the netting material, framework, and irrigation systems. Dhannaseth offers subsidies to help you offset these costs, making it easier to protect your crops and increase your productivity. Our financial support ensures that you have the resources needed to implement shade netting on your farm, improving your yields and reducing the risk of crop loss due to environmental stress.
