Cotton Nonwovens for Agriculture and Horticulture

Nonwovens have been used in agriculture for decades because they can help increase soil temperature and have good water retention. Nonwovens were used in agriculture in Europe in 1978 to keep vegetables warm during early harvest. Some farms in the United States also cover vegetables with non-woven fabrics, mainly for heat preservation, early harvesting, and insect control. Nowadays agricultural nonwovens have a variety of uses for forestry, agriculture, landscaping, and more. Cotton spunlace nonwovens are made of pure natural fibers and are the best choice for agricultural nonwoven fabric.
