The advantages of using spunbond
Spunbond it called agrovoloknom, which is produced by special technology. The composition comprises fibers of polypropylene, which are interconnected by fusing. This material is better than the film, because it allows the soil to breathe and does not create the greenhouse effect, because of which often rot and mildew appears on the plant rhizomes.
Benefits agrovoloknom:
- retains heat and prevents freezing of seedlings even in freezing (this allows you to plant the bushes in early spring and are not afraid of frost, so get an early harvest);
- spunbond light and his weight is not damaged strawberries;
- in spite of the density of the fibers, it ensures normal access of sunlight to the bushes;
- material is resistant to moisture, therefore, does not deteriorate due to corrosive weather.
Spunbond is divided into 2 main types and perform different functions:
- The stimulation of plant growth and development.
- Mulching (soil protection and berries from the earth and mud).
