The use of HDPE nets in agriculture has been constantly growing over the last few years. They are used for protecting sensitive crops against hail, insect, birds, wind and excessive solar radiation. In the first part of this work, three new test methods have been introduced, evaluated and proposed specifically for agricultural nets in order to support the quality assessment of the large variety of nets provided by the manufacturers to the farmers. In the present work, 35 commercial agricultural nets belonging to four different main agricultural application categories are investigated by employing the testing methods proposed in part I and their overall mechanical behaviour is analysed systematically. © 2007 Elsevier Ltd.
