Have you ever heard about “cracking” in agriculture?
The English term comes from the word “crack = breaking” as we are reminded by the sound of its pronunciation.Basically cracking is caused by physiological imbalances of the plant, often deficiencies or excesses of nutrients. Consider for example when, after a period of severe drought, a violent thunderstorm that hits the crops restores the water level and nutrients that were missing for a long time … but in an exaggerated way.
The increase in cell tension and pulp volume of fruits causes an excessive expansion of the epidermis of the skin and its breaking.
The possible presence of wind can only worsen such situation.Besides protecting crops from the effects of adverse meteorological phenomena, farmers need to protect their cultivations also from damages caused by insects and birds. A very effective solution to the problem lies in nets made of high density polyethylene.
They are fixed and laid manually on a structure previously prepared.If in the form of thin meshes, the protections also perform an important shading function, helping to anticipate or postpone the maturation of crops, while ensuring a uniform diffusion of sun rays.
