MEGANET™
Full-coverage frost protection
- Pop-up mechanism
- Integral filter
- Two symmetrical jets for balanced operation
The solution has been used for full-coverage frost protection in orchards, including cherry production.
Extreme, unpredictable weather can threaten crop performance, disrupt operations and put an entire season at risk, and these extreme conditions are becoming the new norm. Seasonal patterns continue to shift and weather conditions can change quickly during critical moments in crop development.
As your partner, Netafim combines agronomic expertise, irrigation knowledge and field-proven solutions to help you adapt with confidence and help your farm become more climate resilient for seasons to come.
Why climate resilience matters
Reduce production risk
Protect fruit quality
Improve water efficiency
Support long-term profitability
Strengthen food security
Different climate challenges require different approaches. Select the challenge affecting your crop to explore practical solutions and proven strategies:
FROST
Radiation Frost Event can be critical - protect your tree
A spring frost can damage sensitive flowers, buds, developing fruit and young plant tissue in just a few hours. The result can be lower yields, reduced fruit quality and significant economic loss.
By planning ahead and implementing the right protection strategy, growers can reduce risk and improve their ability to protect valuable production.
How can water protect a crop from frost?
Water-based frost protection can help maintain critical plant tissue around the freezing point during frost events. Netafim offers comprehensive solutions: full-coverage systems, targeted solutions and high efficiency focused solutions.
Depending on the crop and system configuration, water-based protection can provide:
- Flexible coverage: High efficiency focused solutions
- Targeted protection
- Efficient water application
- Straightforward operation

- Pressure compensation system
PULSAR™ + GYRONET™
High efficiency focused solution for classic tree (circle canopy)
- Circular canopy coverage
- Focused protection
- Pulsation technology
- Reduced water application per hectare compared with full-coverage approaches
- Pressure compensation system
HEATWAVE
Protect your crop when temperature rises
During a heatwave, air, canopy and fruit temperatures can rise rapidly. For sensitive crops, this can increase plant stress, reduce fruit quality and put yield potential at risk.
Even regions normally associated with warm, humid conditions can experience unusually dry periods. The right cooling strategy therefore needs to reflect the current temperature and humidity conditions in the field.
How does water help cool a crop?
Strategic cooling solutions can help create a more favourable microclimate around the crop during critical heat events. By applying water above the canopy, growers can reduce temperature stress and help support crop performance.
Netafim offers localized and full-coverage cooling solutions tailored to different crops, orchard structures and growing environments.
- Increase humidity around the protected crop
- Reduce canopy and plant temperature
- Create a more favorable microclimate during heat events
- Help protect fruit quality and yield
- Target cooling to individual canopies or provide broader coverage
- Use pulsation and low-flow approaches where appropriate to manage water application efficiently
PULSAR™ + GYRONET™
Localized circular canopy cooling
- Localized circular coverage
- Focused canopy protection
- Pulsation technology
- Application concentrated around the crop rather than the entire field
- Pressure compensation system
Mega-PULSAR™
Full-coverage cooling for extreme heat
- Lower temperature around the crop
- Increase local humidity
- Provide effective orchard cooling
- Operate with relatively low water flow rates while maintaining cooling performance
- Pressure compensation system
Climate resilience starts before extreme weather arrives
Every farm faces different risks. The right strategy depends on your crop, local conditions and available resources.
As your partner for success, Netafim combines agronomic expertise, hydraulic design, precision irrigation and digital technologies to help you make confident decisions, respond to changing conditions and build long-term resilience season after season.
