Use of nonwovens in agriculture and gardening

Nonwovens have great potential for use in various areas of life today. A good example is agriculture and related industries, which require efficient and easy-to-use technologies for protection, moisture regulation increased productivity, etc. Nonwovens are used to improve the output of crops, gardens and greenhouses.
They reduce the need for pesticides and make manual labour easier. In this article, we will take a closer look at how they are used and the functions they perform depending on the different purposes.

HOW TO USE NONWOVEN

Protective cover for crops, beds, and fruit seedlings. Lightweight flexible non-woven fabric pieces are laid over seedbeds to create a microclimate that controls heat and humidity. The growth of plants is sped up and they are protected from adverse weather conditions and pests.

Root control bag. They are used to retain a bigger and better root structure, which helps to produce a healthier plant when it is replanted. A transplanted tree that is grown in a root control bag will only take 1-3 months to recover and start growing again. They keep more than 80% of the root structure undamaged.

Capillary matting (capillary matting) – is a non-woven fabric mat on which potted seedlings sit. КThe mat absorbs water, and the pots get a steady supply of water from it, absorbing the right amount when they need it. In addition to their strength and durability, they are highly resistant to fungus and rot, are easy to clean and can be cut. Moreover, these non-woven capillary mats are reusable, so they can last for many seasons.

ADVANTAGES OF USING NONWOVENS IN AGRICULTURE AND GARDENING:

• high strength and elasticity;
• protection against frost and insects;
• exceptional air permeability;
• moisture retention;
• good light transmission;
• weed control;
• heat control;
• sealing capability.

For effective use in agriculture and horticulture, we advise you to pay attention to such products as agrofibre, spunbond, and geotextiles.
