AutoVerters AG06 Floating Row Cover - 0.6oz/sq yd - 5ft 7in x 2550ft - Pointbond

AutoVerters AG06 Floating Row Cover - 0.6oz/sq yd - 5ft 7in x 2550ft

AutoVerters AG06 Floating Row Cover is a lightweight, general-use pointbond fabric that creates an optimal growing microclimate for your crops. Transmitting 70% of sunlight while increasing night-time air temperature by 3-4°F and daytime temperature by up to 10°F, it provides reliable frost protection and season extension for a wide range of crops. When edges are buried, AG06 also acts as an effective insect barrier - making it a valuable tool for organic growing programs. Durable for multiple uses per season and several years with proper care.

Key Features & Benefits

• 70% light transmission: Allows the majority of sunlight through to maintain strong plant growth while providing a protective thermal layer.
• Temperature boost: Raises air temperature 3-4°F at night and up to 10°F during the day - supporting early transplants and protecting crops from unexpected frosts.
• Insect barrier: When edges are buried, AG06 creates a physical barrier against flying insect pests - ideal for organic IPM programs that minimize pesticide use.
• Lightweight 0.6oz/sq yd pointbond construction: The pointbond bonding method creates a strong, breathable fabric that allows rain and irrigation to pass through without pooling.
• 5ft 7in x 2550ft roll: Large-format coverage for commercial row and bed applications.
• Multi-season durability: Reusable for multiple applications per season and several seasons with proper handling and storage.

Who Should Use This

AutoVerters AG06 is well suited for commercial growers, market gardeners, and organic farmers who need reliable lightweight row cover for season extension, frost protection, and insect management. Its 70% light transmission makes it safe to leave on actively growing crops for extended periods without stunting plant development.

Compatibility

Compatible with standard row cover pins, sandbag weights, or soil burial for edge securing. Suitable for use directly over crops, on wire hoops, or draped over low tunnels. When edges are buried or sealed, functions as an effective insect exclusion barrier for organic vegetable production.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "pointbond" construction mean?

Pointbond is a non-woven fabric manufacturing process that thermally bonds the fibers at specific points throughout the material. This creates a consistent, breathable fabric with good tensile strength that resists tearing during installation and removal, while allowing water and air to pass through freely.

Can this fabric be used as an insect barrier?

Yes. When the edges of AG06 are buried or firmly secured to the ground, it forms a physical barrier that prevents flying insects from reaching crops. This is one of the most effective non-chemical methods for protecting brassicas, squash, and other crops from common insect pests in organic growing systems.

How much frost protection does AG06 provide?

AG06 raises the air temperature inside the cover by 3-4°F at night, providing protection against light to moderate frost events. For more significant frost protection (+6°F or more), a heavier fabric such as AG09 or a heavyweight overwintering cover is recommended.

How long will this row cover last?

With proper care - gentle handling during installation and removal, storage away from UV exposure and rodents, and cleaning when soiled - AG06 can last for multiple uses per season and potentially several growing seasons before needing replacement.
