Agribon AG-30 Floating Row Cover (83" X 50')

Medium-Weight Floating Row Cover for Frost & Pest Protection

Agribon AG-30 is a medium-weight floating row cover made from spun-bond polypropylene fabric. It helps protect plants from cold snaps, drying winds, and many common garden pests while still allowing light, air, and water through.

Quick Specs

Best Uses

• Season extension: Warm the bed and reduce wind chill for earlier spring planting and longer fall harvests.
• Frost protection: Buffer tender transplants and cold-sensitive crops during short cold events.
• Pest barrier: Create a physical barrier against many flying and crawling insects (use sealed edges).
• Weather protection: Reduce stress from wind and harsh sun exposure in exposed sites.

How to Use Agribon AG-30

1. Install over hoops when possible. Leave slack for growth and avoid fabric rubbing on foliage and growing tips.
2. Seal the edges. Use soil, rocks, sandbags, or fabric staples so wind can’t lift the cover and pests can’t enter.
3. Water as needed. You can irrigate through the fabric; check moisture regularly, especially during warm spells.
4. Vent on warm days. If temperatures rise, lift an edge or open the ends of low tunnels to prevent overheating.
5. Store clean and dry. Fold and keep out of sun when not in use to extend lifespan.

Choosing Between AG-19, AG-30 & AG-50

If you’re comparing weights: AG-19 is lighter for milder conditions and higher light transmission, while AG-50 is heavier for colder conditions. AG-30 is a popular middle option when you want noticeable frost protection without going to the heaviest fabric.

FAQ

Do I need hoops, or can I float it directly on plants?

It can be floated directly on many crops, but hoops are recommended for best results—especially for taller crops or when plants could rub against the fabric.

Can I water through Agribon AG-30?

Yes. Water can pass through the fabric. Check soil moisture regularly and adjust irrigation as needed.

How do I keep wind from lifting the cover?

Seal the edges continuously using soil, rocks, sandbags, or landscape staples. A tight edge seal also improves pest protection.

Will it protect against insects?

It can help as a physical barrier for many pests when edges are sealed. For crops that need pollination, remove or open the cover during flowering.

How long does it last?

With careful handling and proper storage, many growers reuse it for multiple seasons.
