Non-woven row cover is a kind of row cover used in agriculture or horticulture, which is made of non-woven fabric material. The following are its characteristics and functions:
Material characteristics
Soft and lightweight: Non-woven fabric is soft in texture and relatively light in weight, making it easy to handle and lay. It will not put pressure on crops and is beneficial to their growth and development.
Good air permeability: It has excellent air permeability, allowing air to circulate freely around the crops, providing them with sufficient oxygen. This is beneficial for the respiration of the root system and the healthy growth of the plants, reducing the occurrence of pests and diseases caused by poor air circulation.
Strong water permeability: It enables water to smoothly penetrate into the soil, keeping it moist. At the same time, it can prevent water accumulation, which is conducive to the absorption of water by the crop roots and promotes the growth of crops.
Moderate light transmittance: It can allow a certain amount of light to pass through, meeting the photosynthesis needs of crops. At the same time, it can also scatter light to a certain extent, making the crops receive light more evenly, which is conducive to increasing the yield and quality of crops.
Good durability: It has certain strength and wear resistance, is not easy to break, and can be reused multiple times, reducing the cost of use.
Function and Role
Temperature regulation: In cold seasons, non-woven row covers can play a certain role in heat preservation, reduce heat loss, and protect crops from low-temperature frost damage; In hot weather, it can also block some sunlight, lower the temperature and prevent crops from being damaged by high temperatures.
Moisture retention and drought prevention: It can effectively reduce the evaporation of soil moisture, maintain soil humidity, decrease the frequency of irrigation, and save water resources. It is especially suitable for arid areas or situations where water resources are scarce.
Pest and disease prevention: As a physical barrier, it can prevent pests from approaching crops, reduce their damage, lower the probability of pest and disease occurrence, and decrease the use of pesticides, which is conducive to the production of green and environmentally friendly agricultural products.
Promote crop growth: It creates a relatively stable and suitable growth environment for crops, which is conducive to their germination, growth and development, and improves the survival rate and yield of crops.
The standard size and quality requirements of the Row Cover
Product weight: When polypropylene spunbond non-woven fabric is used as a row Cover, the weight of the fabric is generally between 17g/㎡ and 30g/㎡. If the weight is lower than 17g, the insulation performance will be reduced. If it is higher than 30g, the light transmittance of the fabric will decrease, affecting the usage effect.
Product size: The widths of row covers sold on the market are generally 1m, 2m, 3m, etc. If it is used for a family garden, the length is generally less than 50 meters; if it is used for farm planting, the length is generally more than 250 meters. Sure, if your purchase quantity is relatively large, you can directly order the size from the HYFabricsupply factory. This is a factory specializing in the production of row covers and accepts orders of any size.
Product quality: The product quality requirements of row cover are very strict. Because the raw material used in production is polypropylene, which is an environmentally friendly material. After being produced into non-woven fabric, it will powderize after being exposed to sunlight in the natural environment for a certain period of time. Therefore, anti-aging (UV) must be added during production to meet the usage requirements. At the same time, because the fabric is relatively thin, Therefore, the uniformity of non-woven fabric and production parameters during production need to be controlled with emphasis. If not well controlled, it will affect the strength of the row cover. High-quality row covers can be reused. Especially when the usage in farm planting is relatively large, it can significantly reduce the planting cost.
