Application of weed control cloth in strawberry planting
Why do you use grass repellent cloths when growing strawberries?
Strawberries are a fruit that many people like to eat, but growing strawberries is a very hard work, especially weed management during the planting process. During the growth process of strawberries, the roots that absorb nutrients and water are mainly distributed in 5-10cm of the surface. If grown unchecked, weeds compete for nutrients and water, affecting the growth and yield of strawberries. In order to ensure the good growth of strawberries and ensure the healthy consumption of strawberries, artificial weeding is selected during the planting process, and chemical drugs such as herbicides are not selected, which will require a large number of weeding personnel, high cost and great labor intensity. But now people have a better option, that is to use anti-grass cloth in the planting process, anti-grass cloth can block sunlight to inhibit the growth of weeds and kill weeds. The grass cloth also has the characteristics of water permeability, which can keep the strawberry growing soil moist. So as to achieve the purpose of reducing the planting cost and increasing the yield. When picking, you can walk directly on the anti-grass cloth to facilitate picking.
How to choose a suitable anti-grass cloth for planting strawberries?
At present, there are two kinds of anti-grass cloth that are most widely used, one is polypropylene spunbond non-woven weed control cloth, and the other is plastic woven weed barrier. Both can be used in the strawberry growing process. We still recommend choosing to use polypropylene spunbond non-woven weed control cloth, compared with woven weed barriers it is lighter, softer, easier to construct, and less costly. Moreover, the filament of the polypropylene spunbonded non-woven weed control cloth is very small, and will not produce too much heat after being exposed to the sun, so it will not harm the growth of strawberries.
Construction method of straw-proof cloth in strawberry planting
Before using the anti-grass cloth covering, it is necessary to make the strawberry bed smooth and tidy, ensure that the covered area is tightly stitched; After covering the anti-grass cloth, cut the knife on the strawberry bed, and insert the strawberry seedlings under the anti-grass cloth in turn; After mulching, you need to make sure that the outside of the cloth is tightly fitted to the bed edge to prevent weeds from invading from the edge.
The price of straw-proof cloth for strawberry cultivation
The price of strawberry planting anti-grass cloth is about $0.5 - $1 / square yard, of course, different regions or users choose different quality prices will vary, but no matter in which country, compared with artificial weeding is very advantageous.
How to find a plant supplier of straw-repellent cloth for strawberry growing.
The anti-grass cloth used for farm planting is in large demand, so it is recommended to buy it from the local agricultural planting materials wholesalers, and the price is relatively reasonable.
