Using Weed Control Fabric in agriculture will help increase the productivity of crops and vegetables. It can improve the color of fruits, make them cleaner, and increase the proportion of products that meet export standards by 50%.
Below, let's learn more about the effects and usage of ground cover fabric through the content of the following article.
What is weed control fabric?
Ground cover is using fabric to cover the ground where crops are planted or cover the surface of the bed where plants are grown. It is used to limit the growth of weeds, keep the soil moist, and prevent pests and diseases.
The fabric is made from stable polypropylene fibers that resist UV rays and is designed for both indoor and outdoor use. The anti weed mat is lightweight, easy to install, fold, and spread out. It adheres tightly to the ground and prevents the invasion of weeds, making it a cost-effective solution.
The significant effects of weed control fabric
Using anti weed mat to prevent weeds can bring about many significant effects, such as:
Limiting the development of pests and diseases
The product also has an effective role in pest control. Thanks to the ability to cover the entire bed and the chemical properties of the organic layer, it reduces the cost of using pesticides.
Helping plants absorb more light
Thanks to its two sides, gray and black, it helps plants absorb more sunlight. The gray color of the PP covering film is oriented upwards on the surface of the planted soil, increasing the reflection of sunlight. It also pushes back pests that cause diseases to plants.
The black side of the PP covering film is placed downwards to prevent sunlight from shining on the ground. This prevents weeds from growing and maintains the nutrients in the soil.
Be friendly to the environment
Agricultural ground cover is made from virgin PP fibers, so it is environmentally friendly and safe for users' health.
Preventing nutrients from being washed away by rain
During the dry season, using the fabric helps prevent evaporation and maintains moisture, thereby reducing the effort of watering the plants. During the rainy season, the fabric helps prevent soil and fertilizer from being washed away by rain.
Instructions for effectively and properly laying down weed barrier
Not everyone knows how to properly lay down weed control tarp, so let's refer to the following instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the soil
- Use a specialized hoe to till the soil surface until it is smooth and loose. Remove large rocks, debris, and level the soil surface.
- You can treat soil-borne diseases with 15-20kg of lime powder per acre and control soil pests with 0.5kg of Fudazan per acre.
- Then, create appropriate planting rows with a width that matches the width of the weed barrier, such as 70cm, 90cm, 1m, 1m2, 1m4, 2m... depending on the crop you want to grow.
Step 2: Add fertilizer
Apply 100% compost or organic fertilizer, 100% phosphorus, and 1/3 urea and 1/3 potassium. The amount of fertilizer for crops using weed control mat is higher than those without, which helps to reduce the amount of additional fertilizers needed and improve fertilizer efficiency.
Step 3: Lay down the weed control mat
- Lay down the agricultural ground cover along the length of the planting row.
- Make sure the gray side is facing up and the black side is in contact with the soil.
- Pull the mat tight and press down on the edges with pins to prevent it from being blown away by the wind.
Step 4: Cut holes in the weed control mat and sow seeds
- To create holes in the mat, you can use a plastic pipe with a diameter of 6-12cm, with the bottom of the pipe cut into a sawtooth shape. Or use a knife to cut an X shape.
- Identify the locations to sow seeds and cut holes in the tarp.
- Sow the seeds into the holes in the tarp and follow the planting process using the weed control tarp.
