EmGuard™ Plant Protectors

How EmGuard™ Plant Protectors Work

EmGuard™ Plant Protectors reduce ongoing plant maintenance time and costs, protect plants from predators such as hares and pukeko, help in identifying where plants are in a planted area, reduce water loss and provide a microclimate favourable to growth.

They are particularly valuable in the first year of establishment especially where root trainer or small grade plants are used.

EmGuard™ Plant Protectors are:

Designed and manufactured in NZ, using a majority of recycled pulp. Specifically designed to cope with our tough Kiwi conditions. Have a perforated logo which will protect the plant from pesticides if left intact, and allows greater airflow and light exposure if removed Fully recyclable and biodegradable Coated with a food safe and FDA compliant moisture barrier PH of 7.00-8.00. Have a high bursting strength, and will withstand some inundation over a period of time Will last for over a year in the field, under normal riparian conditions
A key value of the EmGuard™ is that, like Wool.Life mulch and weed matting, it does not need to be removed once plant establishment has occurred as will naturally break down and biodegrade over time.

EmGuard™ Specifications:

EmGuard™ Plant Protectors are 350mm high. Come with a perforated logo that can be removed to allow more light and airflow EmGuard™ Plant Protectors, when folded, form a triangle with three sides of 200mmx350mm.
They are quick and easy to install, requiring only one 900mmx10-12mm stake
Requiring only one stake gives EmGuard™ huge advantage in terms of efficiency, even allowing the EmGuard™ to be used on difficult terrain. The folding method ensures the guard grips the stake, so they don’t blow off in the wind.

Bamboo stakes

EmGuard™ Plant Protectors can be purchased with or without accompanying bamboo stakes.
