For strawberries in Latvia, agro-net coverings are mainly used to get earlier yield and protect against spring frosts, applying they to plants in early spring, while they can also be used for plant protection in winter. In recent years, at the Institute of Horticulture in Pūre four short-term trials were set up to evaluate the coverage by agro-net with the aim to reduce winter damage for strawberries. In the winter of 2018/2019, two trials were set up, where the agro-net coverings were applied at the end of November and removed at the beginning of April, and two trials were set up in the winter of 2019/2020, where the agro-net coverings were applied in November and removed in early June. Covers with different thicknesses as well as application types and the effect of covers on different cultivars and hybrids have been evaluated. In general, the use of agro-net coverings in strawberry plantations in winter had a positive effect, as a result of which winter damage was reduced, plantation productivity was increased and vegetative growth of plants was promoted.
