He aha ka ʻupena INSECT?

He mea pale ka ʻupena pepeke ʻākeʻakeʻa hana maʻamau i ka poli i ulana ʻia. Ua manaʻo ʻia e kāpae i nā pests mai nā mea kanu mākeke waiwai, nā kumulāʻau, a me nā pua. Hiki i nā pests ke hoʻopōʻino pololei i nā lau a me nā hua o nā mea kanu, hoʻoulu i ka maʻi, a alakaʻi i nā hua haʻahaʻa.

Hoʻolālā ʻia ka ʻupena insect no ka pale ʻana i nā mea ʻino, ʻoiai e ʻae ana i ka holo ʻana o ka ea kūpono a me ka paʻa ʻana o ka wai ma o nā puka mesh liʻiliʻi. Hāʻawi ka ʻupena i ka pale mai nā ʻupena, dia a me nā ʻiole, a me nā pōʻino mai ka wā nui e like me ka huahekili.

ʻOkoʻa ka nui o ka mesh ma waena o nā hōʻailona a koho ʻia ma muli o ka insect āu e makemake ai e haʻalele a i ʻole nā ​​​​pests maʻamau i kou wahi. Ana ʻia ka ʻupena e ka helu o nā puka i hoʻokahi ʻīniha laina o ka ʻupena. 

NA HI'O INSECT NETTING

Upena pepeke pale i nā mea kanu ma ke kāpae ʻana. Hiki i kekahi mau ʻupena ke loaʻa i nā mea hoʻohui e kōkua i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ko lākou pono e kūʻē i nā pests. Hiki i nā ʻano hou o ka ʻupena mesh ke komo i nā mea hoʻohui optical e like me nā ʻāpana alumini no ka noʻonoʻo māmā. Hiki i ka ʻupena insect ke hoʻonui i ka ea i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me ka plastic oiai e pale ana i nā mea kanu. I ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ʻupena pepeke ma ke ʻano he uhi lālani, hiki i ka wai mai ka ua a me nā sprinkler ma luna ke komo i nā mea kanu. 

E PA'I I NA THRIP MAI KOLO I KA UPE

Eia kekahi, hāʻawi ka mesh i kahi pale no nā pests i hala i ka pale UV. 

• 0.78 X 0.25 mm puka
• ʻO ka pale ʻike
• 5 makahiki UV kū'ē
• Pale aku i nā nalo keʻokeʻo, nā aphids, nā nalo hua a me nā miners lau

Ke hana nei kēia ʻano ʻenehana ma ke ʻano he papa pale hou no kāu mau mea kanu me ka hoʻohana ʻole ʻana i nā pesticides ʻino. Hoʻohui ʻia nā ʻāpana alumini i ka ʻupena e hana ma ke ʻano he papa pale ʻē aʻe. Hoʻolahalaha nā ʻōpala i ka mālamalama, e makapō i nā mea ʻino ma mua o ke komo ʻana i ka ʻupena.

ʻO kēia hiʻohiʻona noʻonoʻo hoʻi e hōʻoluʻolu i nā mea kanu me ka malu a me ka diffusion māmā. Hoʻohui ʻia ka UV stabilizing a me ka anti-dust additives e pale i ka ʻupena mai ka hoʻohaʻahaʻa ʻana. Hoʻohui pū ʻia nā mea hoʻohui like i nā uhi poly plastic greenhouse kiʻekiʻe.

E mālama ana i nā mea ʻino maikaʻi ma kou hale ʻōmaʻomaʻo

Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ka ʻupena insect no ka mālama ʻana i nā iniseti maikaʻi i loko o kāu hale ʻōmaʻomaʻo a i ʻole hale hoop. Hiki ke ho'omalu 'ia kekahi mau 'ino'ino, e like me ka spider mites a me nā aphids, ma ka ho'okomo 'ana i nā mea 'aihue i loko o kou wahi ulu. He maikaʻi loa nā ladybugs a me nā larvae lacewing ʻōmaʻomaʻo i ka hoʻomalu ʻana i nā infestations o nā iniseti kino palupalu. Akā naʻe, e lele aku ke ʻano makua o kēia mau mea ʻaihue maikaʻi a kōkua inā ʻaʻole kūpono kahi noho. 

ʻO ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka ea i loko o kou hale hoop me ka ʻupena pepeke e pale aku i ka lele ʻana o nā mākua a mālama iā lākou e hānai a waiho i nā hua ma kahi āu e pono ai. ʻO ka nui o nā ʻano kanaka makua o nā pepeke maikaʻi e pono ke komo i ka pollen a me ka nectar i mea e hānau ai. Inā makemake ʻoe e hana lākou i nā hanauna hou aʻe i loko o kāu hale kōmaena pono ʻoe e hoʻolako i kēia forage.

Plant Protection for Hoop Houses and Greenhouses

Insect netting can be installed in a greenhouse using a ʻōnaehana puna a me ka laka e hāʻawi i kahi pale mesh me kahi ʻaoʻao maʻemaʻe ma nā puka āpau e like me nā puka makani, nā puka, a me nā ʻaoʻao ʻaoʻao. Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia no ka hana ʻana i nā puka pale no ka ventila hou. ʻO ka uhi ʻana i nā puka makani me ka ʻupena e hiki ai i kāu mau mea kanu ke hoʻonui i ka ea e pono ai lākou i ka wā e pale ʻia mai nā mea ʻino. 

Install the netting on the inside of the structure, from the baseboards to the hipboards  as part of a vented sidewall for effective barrier blocks. When installed on the sidewalls, the crank will roll up the plastic to allow air flow ventilation while the screen of the mesh remains to exclude insects for plant protection. ʻupena pepeke ʻaoʻao loaʻa i nā lōʻihi he nui e kūpono i kou nui hale kōmaena. 

ʻUpena kūʻē i nā pepeke

Ka pale ʻana i nā mea kanu lālani me ka ʻupena mesh

Hoʻonāwaliwali nā ʻōpala a hoʻopōʻino i nā mea kanu mākeke. Hiki ke kōkua i ka ho'oha'aha'a a i 'ole ka ho'opau 'ana i ka pono o nā mea lā'au kemika no ka pale 'ana i nā mea kanu. ʻO ia ke ʻano o ka hoʻonui ʻana i nā pae hana no kāu mahiʻai a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā huahana no kāu mea kūʻai aku. 

Netting is laid out over rows and anchored with sand bags or rocks while avoiding any gaps for insects to penetrate. While the netting is light enough to be applied directly on top of crops, row cover support hoops made with a hoop bender can be added for better results. 

I ka manawa hea e kau ʻia ai ka ʻupena pepeke?

Pono e hoʻokomo ʻia ka ʻupena insect i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o ke kau. Hoʻonui kēia i ka pale ʻoiai ke kaupalena ʻana i ka hiki ke hoʻopaʻa hewa ʻia i nā pest insect me kāu mau mea kanu waiwai. 

I nā manawa he nui, hoʻohana ʻia ka ʻupena ma hope koke o ka ulu ʻana o nā mea kanu a ma hope koke o ke kanu ʻana. Ma kēia ʻano e pale ʻia ai lākou i ka wā ulu nui a hiki ke wehe ʻia ka ʻupena i ka wā e hoʻomaka ai nā mea kanu e pua. ʻO ka wehe ʻana i ka ʻupena i ka wā e hoʻomaka ai ka ulu ʻana o ka pua e hiki ai i ka pollination kūpono o nā mea kanu a hoʻonui i ka hiki ʻana mai o nā iniseti maikaʻi ma mua o ka hiki ʻana mai o nā pests. 

Ke hoʻohana nei i ka ʻupena Insect no ka hana hua

Hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia ka ʻupena insect no ka loaʻa ʻana o nā mea pollinators a me nā iniseti pono i loko o ka lālani. He mea kōkua kēia no ka poʻe e ulu ana no ka hoʻohua ʻana i nā hua no ka mea ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka cross-pollination. I mea e hana maikaʻi ai kēia, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hana ʻana i nā hoops e hāʻawi i kahi lumi lele ma luna o nā mea kanu āu e makemake ai e pollinate a hoʻokomo i nā pollinators i ka lālani i uhi ʻia. 

ʻO kahi ʻē aʻe hiki iā ʻoe ke uhi i nā lālani āpau o nā ʻano mea pili koe wale nō ka mea āu e makemake ai e mālama i nā hua no hoʻokahi pule a laila hoʻololi i ka uhi i ka lālani āu e mālama ai. Kōkua kēia i ka hōʻoia ʻana i ka liʻiliʻi o ka pollinated keʻa o nā hua i mālama ʻia ke kali nei ʻoe i ka ulu ʻana o nā hua.  

E hoʻohana i nā ʻupena no ka hoʻokomo ʻana i ka ʻupena INSECT

ʻO nā ʻūpepa kākoʻo uhi lālani e kōkua i ka mālama ʻana i ka ʻupena pepeke a paʻa i nā lālani. Kōkua ka hale hoʻohui i ka wā ʻoiai ʻoe e wehe mau ana a hoʻololi i ka ʻupena i ka wā o ka ʻohi ʻana a me ka ʻohi mau. Hana lākou ma ke ʻano he alakaʻi no ka ʻupena ʻoiai e pale ana i nā mea kanu mai nā ʻupena ʻupena a me ka pōʻino o nā mea kanu.

Small hoops can be made out of fiberglass or a heavy-gauge wire. They are designed to stick into the dirt on either side of the row, in an arch shape. The hoops provide structure for the netting to rest, preventing damage as the netting and the plants have a buffer. For larger scale plant protection hoops can be made from ½ inch or ¾ inch EMT tubing using one of our nā mea hoʻopaʻapaʻa. Hiki ke hoʻopaʻa ʻia nā uhi lālani a me ka ʻupena pepeke me kā mākou paʻa i nā pipili. E mālama pono i ka lawe ʻana i ka ʻupena i lalo i ka lepo a heleuma i lalo me nā ʻeke pōhaku, mulch a i ʻole ʻeke one e pale aku ai i nā pests mai ke komo ʻana i nā āpau.

E uhi i kāu mau mea kanu i ka pōʻino o nā pepeke

Ke hoʻohana nei nā uhi lālani like ʻupena pepeke a i ʻole pākeke hau will help reduce plant diseases that are spread by insects as well as ensure blemish free vegetables and flowers. Applying covers at the right stage of growth will give your crops the best protection you can offer. These covers are easy to apply and can be folded away and stored during the off season for years of use. Properly used row covers make an excellent addition to your farms IPM (Integrated Pest Management) strategy.
