“Bangladesh is an Agricultural country. Agriculture is the backbone of our country” went the saying so far. But do you know that “Textile can be the backbone of Agriculture?” A textile fabric has a long history of application in agriculture. The word "agro textiles" now is used to classify the woven, nonwovens and knitted fabrics applied for agricultural & horticultural uses.
Technical textiles are being used now almost in every field but their use in engineering field especially in civil engineering construction will go up in future due to "no site selection criterion" as civil engineers will not have choice of site selection.
Technical textiles are one of the faster-growing sectors of the global textile industry. High-added-value textile structures are replaced with traditional technologies. Technical textiles used in the construction of buildings are called “BUILDTECH”. Textile materials used in buildings for so many years. The utilization of these materials is increased with the development of synthetic fibers. Today, these materials are widely used in airports, stadiums, sports halls, exhibition halls and shows centers, military and industrial warehouses, and also in a lot of different areas like these places.

Agrotech-Agro textiles-Textiles used in Agriculture are termed as agro textiles. They are used for crop protection, fertilisation, ... The essential properties required are strength, elongation, stiffness, and bio-degradation, resistance to sunlight and resistance to toxic environment. All these properties help with the growth and harvesting of crops and other foodstuffs. There is a growing interest in using materials which gradually degrade.
Some of the examples of agro textiles are:
Preventing erosion and paving way for afforestation in greenhouse cover and fishing nets.
For Layer separation in fields, nets for plants, rootless plants & protecting grassy areas.
As sun screens (since they have adjustable screening) and wind shields.
As packing material and in bags for storing grass (that has been mowed).
Controlling stretch in knitted nets.
Shade for basins.
Anti-birds nets.
Fabrics for sifting and separation, for the phases of enlargement of the larvae.
Materials for ground and plant water management at the time of scarcity and abundance of water.
Agro Textiles
Agriculture has been amongst the most primal occupations of the humankind and is still a major industry, globally. In this era of modernization and high technological advancements, it has spread its horizons and started using man-made, non-conventional textiles, called “technical textiles”.
Tapping the potential of technical textiles and putting their vital properties to an advantage; agriculture, horticulture, forestry and fishing segments (all the four sectors combined together are popularly called as “Agrotech” sector) are increasingly using them for equipment development and other applications.
This textile sector comprises of all textiles that are used in growing, harvesting, protection and storage of either crops or animals. It includes diverse items such as fishing nets and fish-lines, ropes, shade fabrics, mulch mats, woven and non-woven covers for crops, bird protection nests, etc. These textiles are driving the sector profitably by improving the productivity and reducing the need for chemicals.

A technical textile is a textile product manufactured for non-aesthetic purposes, where function is the primary criterion. Technical textiles include textiles for automotive applications, medical textiles, geotextiles, agrotextiles, and protective clothing
Polylactic acid or polylactide (PLA) is a thermoplastic aliphatic polyester derived from renewable resources, such as corn starch (in the United States), tapioca roots, chips or starch (mostly in Asia), or sugarcane (in the rest of the world).
This presentation is related to agrotextiles- an emerging field in the technical textiles sectors, it covers all aspects related to agrotextiles-need, characteristics,products, their market share, their CAGR,etc.
In order to satisfy man's fundamental necessities, textile items are crucial. We frequently just think about textiles as the clothing we wear. Obviously, the majority of textiles are manufactured and consumed in the apparel business. However, textiles have a significant role in every area of our life, from conception to death. The history of textile use spans more than 8500 years. Textile technology advancements are not generally recognised in other industries as they are in the apparel sector. The crucial roles that textiles play in various sectors are described in the following presentation.

Mainly we have done visual inspection first after fabric received commonly follow 4 point inspection system. It's cover count/construction, width, weight, color, shading, design, measurement specifications, hand/feel and other specific quality parameters laid down by the clients.
Industrial Hazards and Their Safety Measure in Textile IndustryAzmir Latif Beg
Industrial hazard may be defined as any condition produced by industries that may cause injury or death to personnel or loss of product or property. Textile industries involve diverse operations including fiber synthesis, weaving, manufacturing, dyeing and finishing. Textile operations have been studied extensively and found numerous health and safety issues associated with the textile industry.
The ZDHC MRSL is intended to assist the apparel and footwear supply chain in phasing out the use of restricted substances by establishing enforceable limits for hazardous substances in chemical formulations used to process materials. The MRSL limits are designed to eliminate the possibility of intentional use of listed substances.
Risk Phrases (R) and Safety Phrases (S) is an important part of Chemical MSDS and Safety data sheet. We can identify hazard of a chemical by this phrases. Hazard classification should be indicated with hazard signs and hazard symbols and/or R phrases as well as S phrases.
R phrase and R number: phrases indicating the risks of hazardous preparations and substances, and their numbers respectively.
S phrase and S number: phrases related to the safe handling of hazardous preparations, and their numbers respectively.
Chemical Management System in Textile Manufacturing and Processing is required to achieve the safe use of chemicals and to control the hazards that they present to workers, the community and the environment. It can take a lot of chemicals to make clothes. The apparel sector certainly is not as chemical intensive as other global industries, but its variety of chemical operations and materials does present a range of potential hazards to its workers and the surrounding communities and environment.
NDT-Nondestructive testing is the process of inspecting, testing, or evaluating materials, components or assemblies for discontinuities, or differences in characteristics without destroying the serviceability of the part or system. In other words, when the inspection or test is completed the part can still be used.
Cotton fiber-textiles touch every aspect of our lives. For years, cotton clothing, home furnishings and industrial goods have enhanced our quality of life by providing comfort, expression and individuality. Cotton fiber possesses a variety of distinct properties, and we know there are plenty of people who want to dig a little deeper.

The Ready–Made Garments (RMG) sector has emerged as the biggest earner of foreign currency. The readymade garments industry acts as the backbone of our economy with a GDP of USD 130 Billion. Country‘s annual export is approximately US$ 30 billion and import is approximately US$ 37 billion. 80% of export comes from the Garments industry and as a catalyst for the development of our country. It‘s a time for us to strengthen up the quality of our textile product.
Letters of credit is a written commitment to pay, by a buyer's or importer's bank (called the issuing bank) to the seller's or exporter's bank (called the accepting bank, negotiating bank, or paying bank). It is also known as a documentary credit.
Merchandising Transactions and Managing Payment RiskAzmir Latif Beg
The truth is that every payment method involves risk. Managing payment risks in merchandising transactions is very important. The major risks are fraud and operational risk.
Steam distribution system, utilization and designAzmir Latif Beg
n any steam plant or any process plant effectiveness of steam distribution system is dependent upon the project specific conditions like location and layout of the process plant and its steam consuming equipment like heat exchangers, decorators etc. Steam distribution circuit is one of the major link between the steam production point and the point of end use i.e. process plant. Primary steam generating source are co-generation plant and Steam generators. However it not the source of steam generation but the effective and efficient steam distribution system that decides right quality (pressure and temperature) and quantity of steam to reach to the process through it. Thus designing of steam distribution is to be given due importance along with installation and subsequently maintenance during operation.
A test method is a method for a test in science or engineering, such as a physical test, chemical test, or statistical test. It is a definitive procedure that produces a test result. There are so many standards /test methods for textile testing.
In the present day world most of us are very conscious about our hygiene and cleanliness. Now a days Textile materials facing commonly mold problem during in store, in packed garment or in shipment container are not only related to microorganisms such as pathogenic bacteria, odour generating bacteria and mould fungi, but also good media for growth of microorganisms.
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR) and TextileAzmir Latif Beg
Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) is a technique used to obtain an infrared spectrum of absorption or emission of a solid, liquid or gas. FTIR offers quantitative and qualitative analysis for organic and inorganic samples. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) identifies chemical bonds in fiber. By FTIR we only know the name of fiber is identified. By this technique we can identify the exact composition of fiber like 80 % polyester 20 % cotton.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

4. Agro Textile:
• “Bangladesh is an Agricultural country. Agriculture
is the backbone of our country” went the saying
so far. But do you know that “Textile can be the
backbone of Agriculture?” A textile fabric has a
long history of application in agriculture. The
word "agro textiles" now is used to classify the
woven, nonwovens and knitted fabrics applied for
agricultural & horticultural uses.

Introduction:
Agro textiles are now days extensively being used in
horticulture, farming and other agricultural activities.
Agriculture and textiles are the largest industries in the world
providing basic needs such as food and clothing. The usage of
agro textiles will be benefited in terms of products with
enhanced quality, higher yields fewer damages and bearable
losses. It also permits as to use lower quantities of weed killers
and pesticides.
7. Classification of Agrotextiles
Agrotextiles can be classified according to areas of applications. These areas are
broadly identified as:
1. Agrotextiles for crop production.
2. Agrotextiles for horticulture, floriculture and forestry.
3. Agrotextiles for animal husbandry and aqua culture.
4. Agrotextiles for agro engineering related applications.
Benefits of applying agrotextiles
Agro-textiles can be used inside greenhouses as well as in the open air, to keep areas
safe and tidy. Agro-textiles improve plant growth and crops in the orchards. Used
mainly in planted areas, they provide weed suppression and ground moisture
conservation, whilst allowing roots to breathe and water, air and nutrients to
permeate through. This reduces upkeep, maintains higher soil temperatures and
promotes more rapid and even plant growth. It is favoured by many leading landscape
architects for its unrivalled performance, quality and price. Apart from these
applications, agro-textiles are widely used in agriculture, industries, homes and many
other areas.
The benefits of agrotextiles are as follows:
a) Increase crop production
b) Avoid the soil from drying out
c) Decrease the requirement of fertilizers, pesticides and water
8. Fibers Used for Agro Textiles:
There is use of synthetics as well as natural fibers in agro textiles. Fiber
used in agro textiles are as follows:
• Nylon
• Polyester
• Polyethylene
• Polyolefin
• Polypropylene
• Jute
• Wool
Among all these fibers the Polyolefin is extensively used where as
among natural jute and wool is used it not only serve the purpose but
also after some year it degrades and act as the natural fertilizer.
Coir is having a very high potentiality in agro textile application. Its
moisture retention capability and high wet strength has been excellent
and the characteristic has been made use extensively in agro textile
applications.
9. Characteristics of agrotextiles
The chief characteristics of agrotextiles used for agriculture and horticulture are
as follows:
a) Resistance to micro-organisms
b) Withstand solar radiation
c) Withstand ultraviolet radiations
d) Bio-degradable
e) High potential to retain water
f) Protection property.
General Property Requirement of Agrotextiles:
The properties required for agro textiles are:
Weather resistance- It must work effectively in cold as well as hot climatic
conditions.
Resistance to microorganisms-It must resistant to microorganism to protect
the living being.
Stable construction-The construction must be such that it must be stable for
any application
Lightweight-The weight of the fabric should be such that it will bare by the
plant.
10. Withstands Solar Radiation
Agro textiles are laid over the cultivated areas immediately after sowing
or planting. For such application Agrotextiles has to withstand solar
radiation with varying surrounding temperature.
Withstands Ultraviolet Radiation
Polyethylene is resistant to radiation in the visible range. But UV
radiation leads to degradation of molecular chains. Good potential to
reduce the impact of UV radiation on plants by light-absorbing or light-
reflecting nonwovens (light permeability: 80 to 90% to allow photo
synthesis to take place).
Bio Degradability
Natural fibers like wool, jute, cotton are also used where the bio-
degradability of product is essential. Natural polymer gives the
advantage of bio-degradation but has low service life when compared to
the synthetics.
11. High Potential To Retain Water
This is achieved by means of fiber materials which allow
taking in much water and by filling in super-absorbers. While
nonwovens meant for the covering of plants show a mass per
unit area of 15 to 60 gm/m2, values between 100 and 500
g/m2 are reached with materials for use on embankments and
slopes.
Protection Property
Protection from wind and the creation of a micro-climate
between the ground and the nonwovens, which results in
temperature and humidity being balanced out. At the same
time, temperature in the root area rise. This is what causes
earlier harvests. Sufficient stiffness, flexibility, evenness,
elasticity, bio-degradability, dimensional stability and
resistance to wetness.
12. TECHNIQUES OF PRODUCING AGRO TEXTILE PRODUCTS
• Several techniques of fabric production can be used to produce Agro textiles;
each method offers specific advantages for particular product. The techniques
are,
• Woven
• Knitting
• Nonwoven
Techniques of producing agrotextile products
• Different techniques are available for making agrotextile products and each
method offers specific advantages for particular product. The techniques are –
weaving,, knitting and nonwoven.
• Weaving and woven products
• Woven products are manufactured by using weaving machines especially Sulzer
projectile weaving machines. The range of light to heavy and wide width fabric
production is possible with Sulzer projectile weaving machine.
• Knitting
• Warp knitting technique is most widely used in comparison to weft knitting.
Warp knitted protective nets are used in different sectors, which are produced on
Raschel machines. Agronets are produced in various constructions.
13. Nonwovens
• Nonwoven fabrics can be manufactured by various techniques
such as – needle punching, spun bonding, thermal bonding,
spunlacing, etc. Spun bonding and needle punching
techniques are widely used for the production of nonwoven
agrotextiles.
There are many techniques to produce Nonwoven fabrics.
• Needle-punched nonwovens
• Stitch-bonded nonwovens
• Thermally bonded nonwovens
• Hydro entangled nonwovens
• Spun bonded nonwovens
• Wet nonwovens
• Spun bonding and needle punch techniques are mainly used
for the production of nonwoven Agrotextiles. The spun
bonded fabric has high and constant tensile strength in all
directions. It has also good tearing strength.
14. Applications Of Agro Textiles
Wide varieties of agro textile products are available and the selection of
suitable type of products depends on the protection that the crop.
Selection of the agro textile is greatly influenced by the geographical
location. At some location Agrotextiles are used to protect the plantation
from excessive sunlight while at some places it is expected to protect
plant from cold. Therefore selection of agro textile is done as per the
location and the desired protection from the external agencies. With the
use of high quality agro textiles quality and yield of agro products can be
enhanced.
Some of the applications of agro textiles are as follows:
• Sunscreens • Turf protection net
• Monofil nets • Bird protection net
• Tape nets • Plant net • Root ball nets
• Cherry covers • Ground cover • Insect meshes
• Nets for covering pallets • Windshield
• Packing materials for agricultural products
15. 1.Hail protection:
• Hail protection fabrics helps shield vines from the fruit
damage and defoliation associated with hail yet still lets
through plenty of sunlight.
2.Wind protection Fabrics:
• Trees that are protected from wind are generally healthier,
reach full growth more rapidly, and have higher yield. Wind
Break Fabrics protect crops from wind and, in some cases,
orchard temperatures can be increased by reducing wind
speed.
3.Soil Covers or landscape Covers or Weed
protection fabrics:
The relevant parameters for an agro textile, used as soil cover,
will be determined based on laboratory tests and field
experiments.
16. • 4.Shade Fabrics:
• Shade fabric absorbing 90% of sunlight.
• It is made from 100% polypropylene monofilament strands.
• It is UV stabilized to hold up under the most extreme solar conditions.
• It can be used for a variety of applications: wind and privacy screen,
shading for sports
and recreation.
• Knitted Sunshade cloth is made from 100%
UV stabilized polyethylene.
• Its unique lock stitch construction allows customers the ability to cut
the fabric with scissors without further unraveling.
• 5. Insect Repellent Fabrics:
Various pests like Whitefly, scale insects attack some ornamental
plants and vegetables frequently. The fabrics of such kind are
stretched across the open-air plantations so that the pests can no
longer get to the plants and also the climate will not be disturbed in
any way.
17. • 6. Sun Screen Protection
In order to protect fields and greenhouses from the intense solar
radiation for healthily plant growth and good harvest, sunscreen nets
with open mesh construction are used to control sunshine and amount
of shade required.
• 7. Bird Protection Net
Open -mesh net fabrics are used as a means of protecting fruit
plantation crops and vegetables from flocks of birds. Plantation area is
covered from top and side to stop the birds from getting into the
fields.
• 8. Plant Net
Fruits, which grow close to the ground, can be kept away from the
damp soil by allowing them to grow through vertical or tiered nets in
order to keep the amount of decayed fruit to a minimum.
18. • 9. Nets For Covering Pallets
For safe transportation of fruits and vegetable to the market individual
boxes are collected into larger units and these boxes are covered with
wide, large mesh nets on pallets to stop the boxes being turned upside
down or squashing each other. This prevents damage to goods during
transportation.
• 10.Packing Materials For Agricultural Products
Nets can be used in the form of sacks, bags and tubes for packaging of
farm products for many end uses. It includes:
. Packing sacks for vegetables.
. Tubular packing nets for fruits
Net structures are preferred because of their high strength, low weight
transparency, air permeability and cheapness. The pressure exerted on
soft fruits is very less because of the use of flat tape yarns. Desired
open-mesh structure can be produced.
19. • 11. Insect Meshes
• Fine, woven, meshes which resist insect penetration
• Clear, woven, and knitted, polyethylene monofilament meshes to exclude
harmful insects from greenhouses and tunnels, or to keep pollinating insects
inside. The fine woven screens protect plants from insect attack (without the
use of insecticides). Insect meshes can also be placed over the openings of
greenhouses to prevent pollinating insects, such as bumblebees, from
escaping.
• 12.Leno bags
• Vegetable and fruits kept in leno bags remain fresh and do not rot
• Leno bag is light in weight and durable
• Air can pass through the bag
• With attractive packing product can be seen
• Life of crop increases
• Minimize the crop loss
• Bag can be printed and branded
• The crop does not give foul smell and Does not get affected by chemicals
20. • 13.Green house
• Built with latest technology
• Supervised and constructed by highly professional team
• Constructed with high quality material and expertise
• Can build highly ventilated tunnel type, single span & multi-span greenhouse
• Technical team available throughout for any assistance and help
• 14.Greenhouse covering
• There is a wide range of covering materials available in the market, farmers need to select the
best material for their specific need based on:
• • Geographical location
• Type of plants
• Frequency and force of prevailing winds
• Irrigation and fertilization practices
• The greenhouses provide growers with the potential to modify the environment in which
plants are grown. This includes conditions necessary for growing crops (temperature, light,
humidity, water and air movement) and the conditions to better manage pests and diseases.
• Greenhouse coverings can be divided into four groups:
• Glass
• Plastic sheeting
• Plastic films
• Protective screen fabrics
This article will discuss now about the protective screen fabrics.
21. • 15.Anti-insect nets
• Made of high tensile strength round monofilaments

Coir is having a very high potentiality in agro textile
application. Its moisture retention capability and
high wet strength has been excellent and the
characteristic has been made use extensively in agro
textile applications.
23. Improvement
Now a day’s Textile products are playing very vital role in agriculture for
climatic condition and production point of view. Agricultural textiles for
its excellent environmental resistance, mechanical properties, easy
Process ability and environmental durability characteristics, can improve
the quantity and quality and safety of agricultural products, agriculture,
resource security, agro‐ecological environmental security, the market
competitiveness of products play an important role, as well as the textile
industry to achieve structural adjustment of the special priority to the
development of products. Agro textiles prevent the soil from drying out
thereby increasing the crop yield, and improving product quality. Such
textiles protect the farmer from harmful pesticides. Agro textile products
like shade netting and thermal screens enable a saving of 40% on energy
used for heating greenhouses. Farmers have also found that use of agro
textiles brings about improvement in the quality of fruit, uniformity of
color and prevent staining. As we are not using pesticides and herbicides,
pollution in environment will be negligible.
24. 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. Unique manufacturing techniques and
properties of this blend of agro-textile sector products whose cost is
lesser than that of pesticides and chemical herbicides have been
emphasized. Textiles prove to be flexible in their suitability for specific
geographical locations. So now it is our turn, to carefully and
beautifully shape this infant technology, to contribute to the nation's
economy.
