ProtekNet versus Covertan for crop protection
ProtekNet versus Covertan for crop protection
Heat-loving crops like eggplant and sweet potatoes like the extra warmth that spunbonded Covertan confers, and Covertan helps with frost protection. But for protection from pests, we vastly prefer ProtekNet.
ProtekNet blows the spunbonded stuff out of the water on many levels:
- Significantly better airflow, which boosts crop growth and reduces incidence of disease
- Rain easily penetrates the netting; spunbonded fabrics block lighter rains from reaching the crop
- Easy visibility through the netting so you can better monitor plants
- More light transmission through netting, thus more vigorous growth
- Netting is stretchy, which helps you get a neater, tighter fit than with spunbonded fabrics
We hope to offer more insect netting options in the future; please email ogs@fedcoseeds.com if you have special requests or experience to share.
