Veggiemesh 'Ultra Fine' is a very fine mesh netting woven from uv stabilised polyethylene.  The mesh size is 0.8 x 0.8mm.  

 

It protects against flea beetle and whitefly damage.  

 

Long term covering is not recommended if laid directly over the crop, if using over hoops or cages this is not such an issue as light and air flow is increased.  

 

Veggiemesh 'Ultra-Fine' is also likely to give better protection against Thrips and leaf miners.

 

Use of Veggiemesh 'Ultra-Fine'

Always cover immediately after transplanting or sowing a crop allowing sufficient slack for the crop to grow.  

 

Covering will not protect from damage by flea beetles emerging under the netting.  Do not grow crops on land which has been  infected in the past 6/8 months and remove plant debris from previous infected crops.

 

Ensure the ultrafine is secured by pegs or by burying the edges,

 

Insect screening

Veggiemesh Ultra-fine may also be used to screen glasshouse doors and vents to exclude insects.

 

Durability

May be washed at low temperatures using a mild detergent.
