Dupont AG-06 has been the standard in floating row covers for many years. Use as an insect barrier or season extender by draping the Dupont AG-06 over wire hoops to create a tunnel-like miniature greenhouse. Can be laid directly on top of sturdy, low growing crops like cucumbers, melons, squash or even potatoes. Excellent for keeping flea beetles out. Will remain usable 2-3 seasons if handled with care. See the chart below for a comparison with Dupont 3151, a heavier more durable row cover.

Slitted Clear Row Cover 1.1mil  can be applied over wire hoops, thus the clear plastic cover can raise daytime air temperatures inside the tunnel 10-30° F and will offer 1-4° F of frost protection at night. The precut slits also offer ventilation on very hot days. Use black plastic in tandem with slitted row covers to maximize weed suppression and help retain heat in the soil.

SRM-Red Mulch was developed at Clemson University using the premise that if certain wavelengths of sunlight could be reflected back up to the plant, yields could be improved. University research proved the hypothesis true when this new product produced a 12-20% increase in tomato yields compared to plants grown with black plastic mulch.

In our 1997 trials, we were shocked at the amount of weed growth under the red plastic. The mulch showed virtually no weed suppression and yields were correspondingly low. The product has been modified to better suppress weeds. Consider using SRM mulch over another mulch such as straw, sawdust or even black plastic. The other mulch may control weeds while the red may increase your yields. At this point we consider it best to view this product as experimental and use it accordingly. One mil HDPE embossed plastic film.
