Textile Physical Barriers: An Assessment of the Prison Effect as a Design Criterion to Increase the Porosity without Loss of Efficacy

Insect-proof screens are a physical method of crop protection against pests whose use is widespread. The hole size must be optimized since too small holes give rise to poorly porous textiles that cause a significant reduction in the permeability of the textiles to air. A common design strategy is to...
