Effective solution against root damage from fungus gnats

With the Phalae Protect Gauze, you prevent root damage from fungus gnats, allowing the plant to continue its development.

Benefits of Phalae Protect Gauze

• Reduces the number of fungus gnats: Using the mesh reduces the number of fungus gnats.
• Prevents plant damage: The mesh prevents fungus gnats from damaging the roots.
• Better microclimate: It also creates a better microclimate for the plants.
• Fewer biological pesticides: With the mesh, you need fewer biological pesticides.

Reduces the number of fungus gnats

Fungus gnats are larvae of the mosquito species Lyprauta, which should not be confused with real potworms. The mosquito spins threads and lays its eggs in cocoons in the pot. The mesh is a fine net material that covers the plant. This makes it more difficult for the mosquitoes to lay their eggs in the pot, thereby preventing the population of fungus gnats from growing significantly.

Prevents root damage

The mesh ensures that plants are less affected by fungus gnats. Due to the fine net material, the fungus gnats cannot reach the root tips of the plant. For the first 10-12 weeks during the growing phase, the plant should be covered to protect it from the fungus gnats. Root damage can lead to several negative effects, such as stunted growth and an increased risk of fungi and bacteria.

Creates a better microclimate

Research conducted by a grower shows that, in addition to controlling the fungus gnat population, the mesh also helps create a better microclimate. You can read more about this in our knowledge base article on controlling fungus gnats.

Application of Phalae Protect Gauze

For the installation of Phalae Protect Gauze, Royal Brinkman can set up a structure for you. The insect mesh can be delivered with a bracket and can be securely mounted above the cultivation area using a proper construction.

Note: The mesh may shrink during use. Please consider this when ordering the width of the mesh. For questions about the size or cost of the structure, please contact your representative.
