  • Patent number: 6023881
    Abstract: A protective bag for placing over fruit, vegetables, and entire small plants. The bag is fabricated from a perforated material passing sunlight, water, and air, but having perforations sufficiently small to exclude insects. The bag is closed by a liner at the neck of the bag of beeswax, metal foil, or any material which is malleable and holds its configuration after pinching or other manipulation. This characteristic enables the bag to have an opening of any size less than that of the fully open neck, to locate the opening anywhere along the neck, and to be closed when the bag is placed over a fruit. Optionally, the bag is colored with a hue selected to discourage a selected insect pest.
