Cabbage flies or spiny midges. The plant protection hoods are to be placed over the plants immediately after watering. To prevent, that the hoods are blown away by the wind, cover the edge with soil. The protective hoods remain over the plants for this long, until they hinder their growth. Crop protection hoods can also reduce prematureness by at least 8 days can be reached.
