agrotextilie en

Ground cover - AGRO is a special porous material woven from long-lasting polypropylene tapes.
- Agrotextile prevents weed growth because of block out sunlight and reduces photosynthesis.
- Agrotextile´s construction allows water to penetrate into soil and maintains soil humidity during dry periods by reducing evaporation.
- Agrotextile environmentally friendly reduces the need for herbicides and other weed controls.
- Based on requirement of customer agrotextile can be woven with coloured tapes endlong orwith coloured checked pattern.

CHARACTERISTICS: TYPES:
- Resistant to UV-radiation A 90 - 90g/m2
- Resistant to attack by mildew and bacteria A100 - 100g/m2, A130 - 130g/m2

APPLICATION POSSIBILITIES
Agrotextile can be used inside greenhouses as well as in the open air, to keep areas safe and tidy.
Agrotextile improves plant growth and crops in the orchards.
