Nonwoven Fabric are used effectively for optimising the productivity of crops, gardens and greenhouses. Their protective nature means that the need for pesticides is reduced and manual labour is kept to a minimum.more…
The use of nonwoven crop 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.
In capillary mat applications, Nonwoven Fabric promote the healthy growth of flowers and vegetables in greenhouses by using soil-less growing methods.
Some examples of where Nonwoven Fabrics are used
Crop covers
Plant protection
Seed blankets

Capillary matting
Landscape fabric
The advantages of using Nonwoven Fabric
Fabrics with high strength, durability and elasticity
Frost and insect protection
Exceptional permeability
Weed control
Apertures between the intersecting fibres of nonwoven sheets which are big enough to allow air and water to reach the crop but small enough to keep out insects.
The protection allows plants and crops to grow without the use of pesticides and herbicides
An earlier development and harvest of the crop, improved yield and a growing year which can be extended at both ends
