The Functions of PP Weed-Control Fabric:
1. Weed Prevention: The weed-control fabric can prevent the growth of weeds on the ground by blocking direct sunlight and using its own sturdy structure to stop weeds from growing through it, thereby inhibiting weed growth.
2. Water Permeability: It allows rainwater to penetrate, promoting water absorption by fruit trees. The fabric's excellent permeability, along with the layers of stones and sand underneath, effectively limits soil particle erosion, keeping the surface clean and preserving soil moisture.
3. Promotes Root Growth: It helps the roots of fruit trees grow well and prevents root rot. The fabric is made with a warp and weft weaving structure that allows air and water to pass through, ensuring airflow around the roots and preventing root decay.
4. Prevents Pest and Disease Proliferation: The fabric, woven from polypropylene or polyethylene flat filaments, is inherently resistant to corrosion and insect bites. When laid tightly on the ground, it blocks the activities of insects and rodents, reducing the occurrence of pests and diseases in orchards.
5. Reduces Weed Control Costs:Generally, weed-control fabrics made from standard materials last 2-3 years in orchards. With an investment of about 240 yuan, weeds can be prevented for around 3 years. Higher-quality fabrics can last 3-5 years, and with an investment of about 320 yuan, weeds can be prevented for up to 5 years, greatly saving labor costs.
6. Good Anti-Aging Properties: The fabric is degradable and does not raise concerns for long-term environmental impact.
