The use of agro-textiles improve color uniformity and prevent staining of fruits and vegetables. As per the data, yield increase was seen 60-90% by application of shade net. UV agro-textiles also enhance life for multiple use of the non-woven fabric.
Non Woven fabrics are made from polypropylene an economical and environment friendly polymer; by spinning the material into fine filaments and bonding them by heat without use of any binders. It is a modern textile which is neither a film nor a conventional textile. It is very light weight and therefore very economical.
Agriculture non woven fabric basically create a microclimate providing uniform ventilation there by encouraging early growth and development of the plant and/or crop with the valuable end result of both improvement in quality and yield. It Protects the plant from cold and frost upto approx. 5°C some circulating moisture is trapped by it and in the event of a frost this film freezes providing the plant with natural frost protection. It minimizes the dangers caused by hail, heavy rains and storms.
The use of Nonwovens Crops Covers on the land increases yields and improves the quality of the crops. Very light, flexible sheets are laid over seed beds, which create a microclimate in which the heat and humidity are controlled. The growth of the plants is accelerated, and they are Protected from adverse weather conditions and vermin.
