Known by several names such as insect screens or mesh nets, insect nets are protective barriers composed of tiny mesh materials that are intended to keep pests, insects, and other microscopic creatures out of a specific region. These nets are used in many different ways to keep insects out while yet letting light and air in.
There are many different types of insect nets available, such as mesh curtains, roll-up screens, permanent window screens, and netting for horticulture and agriculture. These nets are an invaluable resource for organic farming, integrated pest management, and general insect and disease control in a variety of contexts. They assist the environment and agriculture by promoting healthier plants, higher-quality products, and more ecologically friendly activities.
When utilized on crops such as tomatoes, cabbages, beans, and leafy vegetables, insect nets act as a barrier of defense against a range of pests, such as moths, flies, butterflies, and, to a lesser degree, aphids, thrips, and whiteflies. When compared to conventional open farming techniques, this leads to a decreased incidence of insect infestations. In addition to being effective, bug nets have a three to five year lifetime, are safe, affordable, and recyclable or reusable with proper upkeep.
Under IS 16513: 2016, all insect nets used in horticulture and agriculture are now required to be part of the ISI Certification Scheme.

Indian Standards Institute, or ISI was renamed the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) in 1987. The official mark that the Bureau of Indian Standards provides for manufacturers of various goods is the ISI Mark. It is used to indicate compliance with Indian standards (IS) set by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and has been used as a conformity marking for industrial products. Manufacturers received permission from BIS to use the ISI Mark on items that comply with relevant Indian requirements through the product certification program.
Only manufacturers (domestic or foreign) who produce the finished product will be awarded ISI Certification. This will not be given to any product importers, traders, dealers, or distributors.
