Horticultural ground cloth, also known as polyethylene weed control fabric, promotes root growth and prevents root rot. This effect also comes from the woven structure of the ground cloth, which ensures that water does not accumulate around the crop roots and allows for some air flow around the roots, thereby preventing root rot. The drainage performance of PE weed control fabric ensures rapid removal of surface water, and the layer of gravel and medium sand beneath the cloth effectively prevents soil particles from seeping back up, keeping the surface of the cloth clean.
