This document discusses agro textiles. It defines agro textiles as woven, non-woven, or knitted fabrics used for agriculture and horticulture. Agro textiles are classified according to their application area, such as for crop production, horticulture, animal husbandry, and agroengineering. Both natural (e.g. jute, wool) and synthetic (e.g. nylon, polyester, polypropylene) fibers are used. Agro textiles must be weather resistant, stable, lightweight, and withstand solar and UV radiation while being biodegradable. They have applications including hail protection, weed prevention, sun protection, and insect meshes. Agro text

2. AGRO TEXTILE

3. INTRODUCTION
The word “Agro Textile” now is used to
classify the woven, non woven and
knitted fabric applied for agriculture
and horticulture

4. CLASSIFICATION OF AGRO TEXTILES
Agro textiles can be classified according to areas of
applications. These areas are broadly identified as:
1. Agro textiles for crop production.
2. 2. Agro textiles for horticulture, floriculture and
forestry.
3. 3. Agro textiles for animal husbandry and aqua
culture.
4. 4. Agro textiles for agro engineering related
applications

6. FIBERS USED FOR AGRO TEXTILES
Use of synthetics as well as natural fibers are
used for agro textiles. Fiber used in agro
textiles are as follows:
• Nylon
• Polyester
• Polyethylene
• Polyolefin
• Polypropylene
• Jute
• Wool

7. GENERAL PROPERTY REQUIREMENT OF
AGRO TEXTILES
The properties required for agro textiles are:
Weather resistance
 Resistance to microorganisms
 Stable construction
 Light weight
 Withstands Solar Radiation
 Withstands Ultraviolet Radiation
 Bio Degradability

8. APPLICATIONS OF AGRO TEXTILES
 Hail protection
 Wind protection
 Soil covering or weed
protection
 Sun protection
 Bird protection net
 Plant nets
 Crop cover
 Insect meshes

10. BENEFITS OF AGRO TEXTILES
 Agro-textiles used in greenhouses , to keep areas
safe and tidy
 Agro-textiles improve plant growth and crops in the
orchards.
 Used mainly in planted areas, they provide ground
moisture conservation, allowing roots to breathe and
water, air and nutrients to pass through out the plant
 Maintains higher soil temperatures and promotes
more rapid and even plant growth
 Increase crop production.
 Avoid the soil from drying out.
 Decrease the requirement of fertilizers, pesticides
and water.

11. CONCLUSION
Agro textile plays a significant role to help control
environment for crop production, eliminate variations
in climate, weather change and generate optimum
condition for plant growth.
Thus, the need of textile goods in the field of
agriculture has been stressed and their role in the
reduced usage of harmful pesticides and herbicides to
render a healthy farming culture underlined
