Managing pests, diseases, and weeds under cover

Protection from extreme weather

Profitability and sustainability

Stakeholder opinions of row covers
What are we working on?
Crops Under Cover is an outreach website dedicated to developing protection systems for organic fruits and vegetables. Our focus is on the benefits of protective row covers for pest, disease, and climate protection, as well as overcoming some challenges associated with these techniques - such as managing weeds, integrating row covers into diversified rotations, making their use more profitable, and how to use plastics most sustainably in agroecosystems.

This work is partially supported by USDA OREI Grant #2023-51300-40855.
