“…In addition, Marasović and Dragana (2019) highlight as main role of the agrotextiles in protection against insects. In agriculture as far as soil coverage offers many benefits, recycled materials are used usually as agrotextiles (Anade, 2013;Bhatt et al, 2019). In agriculture, one of the parameters of agrotextiles that should be clarified is the porosity.…”

The effect of the reflection by a white agrotextile, in hemp cultivation, was evaluated on a greenhouse experiment during 2019. The experiments were laid out in a completely randomized design with two treatments (soil cover and control). The results indicated that the average temperature in the covered area section was 28.5ºC while in the uncovered area was 25.12ºC, during the experiment. Concerning height, higher plants up to 20 cm, were recorded on the covered area than the uncovered one. The highest specific leaf area (SLA) (58.39 cm2 g-1) was found on the covered area at 60 days after transplanting (DAT) compared to the uncovered area where a value of 50.4 cm2 g-1 was recorded. The absolute growth rate was higher during 20-60 DAT comparatively to control. The highest rate was observed about 50-60 DAT where it reached the value of 3.34 g day-1. Concerning root system, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) was only affected by the cover material. The number of inflorescences was not found to be affected by the cover material but the bud length and the cannabidiol (CBD) content were affected by the soil cover. The cannabinoids (CBD) content was 28.8% higher on covered area.

“…This fulfills the goal of maintaining the aspect of sustainability with minimal environmental harm and also reduces waste generation. Therefore, waste agro-textiles can be used to generate value-added products that cut down textile waste that is supposed to be disposed of (Bhatt et al, 2019 ).…”

A Substantial Role of Agro-Textiles in Agricultural Applications

et al. 2022

Agro-textiles have been used in the agriculture sector for thousands of years and are an attractive tool for the protection of crops during their entire lifecycle. Currently, the agro-textile market is dominated by polyolefins or petrochemical-based agro-textiles. However, climate change and an increase in greenhouse gas emissions have raised concern about the future oil-based economy, and petroleum-based agro-textiles have become expensive and less desirable in the modern world. Other products include agro-textiles based on natural fibers which degrade so fast in the environment that their recovery from the field becomes difficult and unattractive even by efficient recycling or combustion, and their lifetime is usually limited to 1 or a maximum of 2 years. Hence, the development of bio-based agro-textiles with a reduced impact on the environment and with extended durability is foreseen to initiate the growth in the bio-based economy. The world is gradually preparing the shift toward a bio-based economy, and research for sustainable bio-based alternatives has already been initiated. This review provides insight into the various agro-textiles used currently in agriculture and the research going on in the area of agro-textiles to offer alternative solutions to the current agro-textile market.
