Agricultural Plastics

Over the last 30 years, the use of plastics in agriculture has exploded. Growers see benefits of increased yields, earlier harvests, less reliance on herbicides and pesticides, frost protection, and water conservation. The use of plastics has also provided a more efficient use of farm land, resulting in a healthier environment.

Plastic Row Covers Maximum grower benefits from the use of crop covers and tunnels are obtained when there exists an early market-price-window for high value crops. Early price premiums will often provide a major contribution to growers’ annual profits. A roadside operator can often benefit all season from being the first to offer local, fresh produce.

Growers should obtain information on the use of agricultural plastics from their state university extension vegetable specialist. Most university research on crop covers, tunnels and mulches has been published at the state level or may be obtained from the proceedings of the American Society for Plasticulture.

Plastic Mulch Ken-Bar has been in the forefront of plastic's application in agriculture. We have been involved for many years in new product research and development, resulting in plasticulture products with superior quality and durability. As a result, our products not only allow reliable season extension but also reduce costs by lasting an extra season in many cases. Ken-Bar has been providing this level of product quality and customer service for years.

Our products are available from major greenhouse, agricultural and retail supply outlets across North America. If you have any difficulty finding them, please contact us.

We look forward to growing with you!
