Grass proof non woven fabric, also known as weed control cloth or weed control film, is a widely used protective equipment in agricultural production. Its main function is to prevent the growth of weeds, while also maintaining soil moisture and promoting crop growth. The main component of this fabric is agricultural polymer material, which is made through processes such as high-temperature melting, spinning, and spreading.
Appropriate laying time
When using grass proof non-woven fabric in orchards, the appropriate laying time should be selected according to specific conditions. In orchards with warm winters, shallow permafrost layers, and strong winds, it is best to lay the soil in late autumn and early winter. This can take advantage of the opportunity to apply base fertilizer in autumn to ensure that the laying is completed before the soil freezes. For orchards with relatively cold winters, due to the deep frozen soil layer and low wind force, it is recommended to lay them in spring and immediately thaw the 5cm thick area of the soil surface.
Width of cloth
The width of the anti grass cloth should be 70% -80% of the tree crown branch expansion, and the appropriate width should be selected according to the growth stage of the fruit tree. Newly planted saplings should choose a ground cloth with a total width of 1.0m, and a 50cm wide ground cloth should be laid on both sides of the trunk. For fruit trees in the initial and peak fruiting stages, ground cloth with a width of 70cm and 1.0m should be selected for laying.
Using anti grass non-woven fabric correctly
Firstly, according to the environment and characteristics of crop growth, select grass proof cloth with suitable light transmission and good breathability, and ensure that it has sufficient tensile strength and corrosion resistance to extend its service life.
Secondly, when laying the grass cloth, it is necessary to ensure that the ground is flat and free of debris, and to lay it flat and compact. If wrinkles or unevenness occur, adjustments should be made promptly.
In addition, to prevent strong winds from blowing or moving the grass cover, it is necessary to fix it. Special plastic ground nails, ground stakes, wooden strips, stones, and other materials can be used for fixation, ensuring that the fixing points are firm.
After the harvest of crops, the grass proof cloth should be neatly folded and stored in a ventilated and dry place, and avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight or moisture to prevent aging or damage.
Matters needing attention
When laying anti grass non-woven fabric, it is also necessary to pay attention to some technical details.
Firstly, it is required that the ground at the trunk of the tree has a certain slope with the outer ground of the ground cloth to facilitate the rapid absorption of rainwater. Draw a line based on the size of the tree crown and the selected width of the ground cloth, use a measuring rope to pull the line and determine the positions on both sides.
Dig trenches along the line and bury one side of the ground cloth into the trench. Use “U” – shaped iron nails or wires to connect the middle part and overlap it by 3-5cm to prevent gaps from growing weeds after the ground cloth shrinks.
Orchard with drip irrigation equipment can place drip irrigation pipes under the ground cloth or close to the tree trunk. The excavation of the rainwater collection ditch is also an important step. After covering the ground cloth, a 30cm deep and 30cm wide rainwater collection ditch should be excavated along the row at a distance of 3cm from the edge of the ground cloth on both sides of the ridge surface to facilitate the collection and distribution of rainwater.
For uneven terrain in the park, horizontal barriers can be built or crop straw can be covered in the rainwater collection ditch to improve soil moisture retention.
By correctly implementing the above steps, the role of weed control cloth in agricultural production can be effectively utilized, preventing weed growth, maintaining soil moisture, and promoting crop growth. At the same time, these measures also help improve the management efficiency and quality of orchards, and promote the sustainable development of agricultural production.
Dongguan Liansheng Non woven Technology Co., Ltd. was established in May 2020. It is a large-scale non-woven fabric production enterprise integrating research and development, production, and sales. It can produce various colors of PP spunbond non-woven fabrics with a width of less than 3.2 meters from 9 grams to 300 grams.
