Pollen netting

In seed breeding, wind pollinators must be isolated by pollen netting to prevent unwanted cross-pollination. Pollen is extremely fine and each crop has its own shape and size of pollen grains. When isolating pollen, the right balance between keeping out the pollen grain and maximum light and air penetration must be sought. We have anti-pollen netting and pollen-proof netting.

The range of net solutions has been extensive and tailored to repel or isolate insects. The application is also important when choosing a netting solution. To help you with this, there are advice tables for insect netting and screen netting.

Pollina 2.0

Revolutionary is the pollen-tight mesh, which also stops pollen grains smaller than 30 mu. Pollina 2.0 has the optimum balance between retaining very small pollen grains and the highest achievable light and air penetration.
In the development of this product, durability has also been considered and Pollina 2.0 is therefore maximally UV-stabilised. Pollina 2.0 has passed a number of stress tests and has been well received in practice.
So besides mesh cages for insect pollinators, Howitec is also there for insulating wind pollinators for breeding purposes.

  • Material: special PP monofilament
  • Mesh size 0.015 x 0.020 mm
  • Weight 250 gr/m2
  • Light transmission LUX 76%
