Dupont AG-06 UV Pointbonded Polyester is a general use, lightweight floating row cover. It is made of white, ultraviolet (UV) resistant spun-bonded polyester that transmits approximately 70% light, which is adequate for crop growth. Because it is very lightweight (0.6 oz/ sq. yd. or 20 g/sq. m), it is most often used as a floating row cover - that is, it gently floats on top of the crops as they emerge and grow.
Soft and non-abrasive, it will not damage crops. Supporting hoops are generally not needed. Although Dupont AG-06 is light in weight, it is durable enough for multiple uses in one season or for several years when handled with care.
Crops Suited to AG-06 | |
---|---|
Vegetables | All direct seeded crops and transplanted vine crops. Do not cover transplanted pepper and tomatoes unless hoops are used to prevent damage during windy conditions. |
Small Fruits | Cover strawberries in late Fall or early Spring |
Cut Flowers | Hoops might be required where wind is a problem |
Installation Tips for AG-06 |
---|
Apply when there is minimum wind. |
Use wider covers for greater application efficiency. |
Do not try to stretch the cover. Allow it to drape over the crop. |
Secure the edges with soil, stones, sandbags, et cetera. To keep out insects, cover the edges with a continuous furrow of soil. |
Handle with care to prevent tearing. |
Timing of planting, covering, and cover removal: |
Generally, crops may be planted about 10 days earlier than normal when covers are applied at planting. |
The covers will remain on warm-season crops for about 3 weeks until pollination is needed or until the crop out-grows the space under the cover. |
For many direct-seeded crops, leave the cover on until harvest. |
