The Perfect Application of Nonwovens in Agriculture

Due to the rapid development of material science, the application scope of non-woven fabrics has been extended to various fields such as medical, industrial and commercial, civil engineering, agriculture and environmental engineering. Its presence can be seen everywhere, especially in its early agricultural uses. Agricultural nonwovens must have the following properties: strength, elongation, UV resistance, breathability, and resistance to harmful environments. All of these characteristics help crops grow and reduce crop and other food waste.

Nonwovens were first used in agriculture in Europe in 1978 to keep carrots warm during early harvest and protect against tomato leaf viruses and whiteflies. In the US, nonwovens are used to cover cantaloupe, bell peppers, tomatoes, root vegetables and other vegetables. Mainly used for heat preservation, early harvest promotion, insect control, etc. Because non-woven materials can help increase soil temperature and have good water retention, they are used for surface coverings, such as weed control mats. Short fibers are also used to produce absorbent blankets, which are used in seedbeds to allow the roots to fully absorb water. Non-woven materials can also be used as the underlying medium for turf production, or directly used as garden grass, which plays the role of moisturizing, draining and dividing gardens. They are also used as grow bags for large woody plants such as garden trees and fruit trees, preventing weeds and retaining moisture.

Non-woven fabric is a kind of material with potential application in the agricultural industry because of its convenient use and good effect.

1. Bird damage prevention: non-woven covers can be used to prevent bird damage to vegetable seeds and crops.

2. Anti-cold and frost damage: non-woven covers can effectively prevent frost damage of crops that are susceptible to frost damage.

3. It is used for heat preservation of cover crops in winter to promote growth.

4. Pest prevention: non-woven covers on vegetables can prevent or reduce pests.

5. As a seedling transplanting bowl: easy to transport and improve the survival rate of seedlings.

6. Prevent sunburn: Use on fruit trees to prevent sunburn on fruit.

7. Fresh-keeping: In the post-harvest processing of garden products, it can be used for fresh-keeping products.

8. Bagging: It can be used as fruit bagging to prevent insect damage, bird damage, heat damage and discoloration.

The application of non-woven fabrics in agriculture still has a great room for development. We should strengthen research on the development of its materials, and according to different regions, seasonal weather characteristics, and the purpose of production and cultivation, we should make appropriate choices of covering materials to make nonwovens the most effective.

Winner PurCotton spunlace nonwovens are made with 100% cotton. Cotton is a natural fiber that will biodegrade in most natural environments. Under the conditions of wastewater, soil, fresh water and sea water, cotton microfiber is easily biodegradable and does not pollute the environment. The biodegradation time of cotton depends on the conditions of the surrounding environment - including temperature, the presence of microorganisms and other factors. Based on these factors, Winner PurCotton spunlace nonwoven fabric is ideal for agricultural nonwoven applications. Winner has more than 30 years of non-woven production experience, welcome to inquire.
