Season Extension Without a Structure
A crop cover — also called a row cover or floating row cover — is a lightweight woven or spunbond fabric laid directly over crops or supported on low hoops above them. It creates a protected microclimate around the crop without requiring a permanent greenhouse structure — raising temperature, excluding insects, blocking wind, and protecting against light frost, all simultaneously.
For growers who want the production benefits of protected cultivation without the capital cost of a permanent greenhouse, crop covers are the most accessible and most flexible tool available. They can be deployed and removed in a single operation, reused across multiple seasons, and applied to any field crop regardless of layout or spacing.
➤ Woven PP Crop Cover
Woven polypropylene crop cover fabric provides frost protection to approximately -2°C to -4°C, insect exclusion, and wind protection for low-growing vegetable, herb, and fruit crops. The woven construction is more durable and longer-lived than lightweight nonwoven alternatives, with UV stabilisation for multi-season reuse.
