Covering agrofibre (white)

White Covering Agrotextile ™Agreen

White agrotextile is a non-woven covering material for plants that reliably protects against the negative impact of the environment.

Agrotextile is made from polypropylene, a synthetic material that is highly durable and resistant to adverse conditions. First, polypropylene is heated to a high temperature, and when it begins to melt, it is drawn out to form fibers. The resulting fibers are welded or woven together, and ultraviolet stabilizers are added. The finished spunbond is then cut and packaged.

There are two main types of agrotextile:

1. White – provides reliable protection for plants from cold and heat, with a density of 17-50 g/m²;
2. Black – designed for soil mulching, with a density of 50-100 g/m².

™Agreen also offers black-and-white agrotextile, including perforated options, with a density of 50 g/m². It combines the best qualities of both types and is used as mulch.

Main Characteristics of Agrotextile

The covering material ™Agreen features enhanced durability, uniform density and structure throughout its length, and contains a UV stabilizer that reduces the negative effects of ultraviolet radiation.

You can buy white agrotextile ™Agreen in different densities through a dealer network across Ukraine. The denser the spunbond, the better it protects against frost. However, keep in mind that a denser material also has a greater weight.

Agrotextile Density, g/m²

Thin material (density of 17, 19, 23 g/m²) is usually used to cover seedlings after planting in open ground to protect them from light frost. It can also be used to cover beds immediately after sowing vegetable and flower seeds. Once the sprouts appear, the fabric does not need to be removed – the seedlings will lift it naturally.

Agrotextile with a density of 30 and 42 g/m² is recommended for building greenhouses. Spunbond with a density of 50 g/m² is an ideal material for making mini-greenhouses. It should not be placed directly on plants, as its heavy weight may damage leaves and stems.

When choosing agrotextile, consider the crops you are growing. For cucumbers, a lightweight and thin material with a density of 17 or 19 g/m² is best. A denser spunbond may damage delicate leaves. For tomatoes, agrotextile with a density of 17-23 g/m² is suitable, while carrots, beets, and potatoes require a denser material – 23-30 g/m².

Why Buy Agrotextile ™Agreen

Spunbond is a white material that allows sunlight to pass through, promoting soil warming. At the same time, it retains heat, preventing it from escaping. As a result, the soil under the fabric warms up better during the day than open ground and cools down more slowly at night, helping heat-loving plants survive frosts. Additionally, agrotextile allows air to pass through, ensuring the necessary respiration and photosynthesis for plants.

Spunbond allows water to penetrate while preventing rapid evaporation, thus preserving moisture. At the same time, it allows the soil to "breathe" and prevents condensation from forming.

Thanks to its properties, white agrotextile:

• creates an ideal microclimate, contributing to high yields;
• simplifies plant care;
• accelerates seedling growth and development;
• protects against frost, scorching sun, temperature fluctuations, strong winds, and hail;
• ensures fast and even germination;
• accelerates fruit ripening by 2-3 weeks;
• increases yield by 25-30%;
• has a long service life – can last for 5-6 seasons.

White Agrotextile: Applications

White agrotextile is used in agriculture to protect plants from adverse conditions and fruits from birds and pests. In most cases, it is used to cover garden beds. It can also be used for greenhouses and tunnels, for making bags, and for covering young trees, berry bushes, and ornamental shrubs in winter. Using agrotextile for strawberries helps accelerate ripening and maintain the commercial appearance of berries during heavy rains.

Why Buy Agrotextile for Potatoes

Farmers often use agrotextile for potatoes to achieve an early harvest. The covering material allows tubers to be planted in the soil as early as March, and by May, the produce can be sold on the market when prices for young potatoes are at their highest.

Immediately after planting, agrotextile is spread over the soil, pressing the edges with small stones, or stretched over hoops. It is removed once the risk of frost has passed and stable warm weather has set in.

How to Properly Lay Agrotextile

First, clear the area of stones and weeds. Then, plant the seedlings or sow seeds. Lay the agrotextile over the top and secure it. It should remain on the beds throughout the season. If you need to weed or harvest crops, carefully remove the fabric and then put it back. At the end of the gardening season, roll up the spunbond and store it in a dark, dry place.

White Agrotextile: Material Price

You can buy agrotextile directly from the manufacturer:

• in rolls: width from 1.07 to 15.8 meters, length from 25 to 500 meters;
• in packs: width from 1.6 to 4.2 meters, length from 3 to 10 meters.

The price depends on the density of the spunbond and the size of the roll. Submit a request on the website if you want to buy white agrotextile in bulk.
