Protecting Your Crops With Agribon™
The last thing you want after investing time, energy, and money, into your crops throughout the summer is a fall frost coming in and destroying all that hard work. Agribon™ is the perfect solution to protecting your crops from the threat of frost. Agribon™ is a non-woven, spun bound, 100% polypropylene fabric. It allows sunlight, air, and water transmission while supporting a climate that promotes optimal plant vitality.
Propagating seeds
Agribon™ can help maintain a higher germination rate and create stronger plant starts. Covering your propagations with Agribon™ helps keep them warm during early spring and holds in that heat during the cold nights.
Pest and Wind Control
Agribon™ acts as a physical barrier to break harsh winds that may damage your plants while allowing up to 90% light transmission. This physical barrier is even effective in keeping away plagues like whiteflies and other aphids. If an infestation appears, you can respond quickly and cover your plants in minutes.
Extended Growing Season
Agribon™ moderates the daytime climate of your crops and works to hold in heat. This creates a greenhouse environment that allows your plants to thrive even when their growing season would normally be too long for the area you are growing in. Additionally, if a sudden cold should swoop in you can easily cover your rows, shrubs, or even potted plants with Agribon™ to avoid potential frost damage.
Shade Protection
Agribon™ not only works to keep your plants warm and protected from frost but can work in the heat of the summer to provide shade protection to crops that are more susceptible to burning in the direct sun. Using Agribon™ in the summer can create a cooling effect to provide an optimal growing environment that can also ensure that your crops do not have a bitter taste that can result from too much direct sunlight.
Overwintering Crops
You can also use Agribon™ to prepare your plants for growing through the winter. By using Agribon you can speed up the germination process to ensure your plants have a strong start by the time the cold weather hits.
So don't let all that hard work go to waste, and cover your crops with Agribon™.
