When harvesting tree seeds and nuts, the seeds and nuts fall off the tree as soon as they are ripe. To prevent the seeds and nuts from lying on the moist soil for a long time and mold from forming, harvesting nets can be placed. The nets catch all seeds and nuts.
Collect tree seeds and nuts carefully

Nets are made of monofilament, tape or a combination of both. Monofilament is round and strong, while tape is flat. Tape has higher screening than monofilament. Tape is less strong and needs the stability of foil tunnels or needs to be directly on the crop. Depending on the application, the net is made of monofilament, tape or both.
Howicover is known as a multi-functional canvas. It is used as a climate cloth, but can also be used as a screen mesh and as a harvesting net. The green color of the cloth filters sunlight. The cloth is often used for young tree crops, but is also used on low tunnels and foil tunnels.
Because Howicover green is made of a strong and supple tape, it is easy to use.
Columba Plus has been specially designed to protect your plot against these harmful external influences and the harvesting of tree fruits. Not only does this net provide a physical barrier against birds, but it also offers protection against hail damage. To harvest tree fruits, such as acorns, tree seeds and nuts, Columba Plus is placed under trees. The tree fruits are collected by the net and can thus be harvested.
Columba Plus offers a grid solution that stands out for its durability and functionality. The mesh panels are designed to let in sufficient light and air, so that your crops can continue to breathe and grow, even when covered. The meshes are narrow enough that the notes don't fall through.

It is also possible to place Bracca Plus between the rows of trees and by using the woven buttonholes, the net can be hung on the walnut trees. This fine-meshed net is also very strong and is therefore suitable in combination with various harvesting machines
