Crop protection netting is of a knitted mesh construction, knitted such that at yarn intersections in the netting multiple yarns of which the netting is formed are knitted around each other to define the netting mesh apertures so that the netting is stretchable in multiple directions, and wherein connecting yarn portions between said yarn intersections extend substantially linearly between intersections, and wherein at least one of the multiple yarns of which the netting is formed comprises a tape, and/or in addition to the multiple yarns of which the netting is formed (whether comprising a tape as above or otherwise) the netting also comprises multiple yarns or tapes extending through the netting (as a &lsquolay-in&rsquo) woven through the mesh apertures and/or around intersections of the multiple yarns of which the netting is formed.
