Black and White: Types of Agrofabric, Their Benefits, and Applications

Agrofabric is a proven covering material widely used in agriculture to achieve high yields of strawberries, potatoes, grapes, raspberries, peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, and other crops. Lightweight and durable, it effectively protects against weeds, pests, drought, and frost. Agrofabric replaces outdated polyethylene films. Unlike alternatives, it does not crack and is suitable for long-term use. You can buy agrofabric wholesale at attractive prices and use it as intended on your own plot.

White Agrofabric: Purpose and Advantages

Covering material comes in various densities. The higher the density, the more serious the protection of agricultural crops from frost. White agrofabric with maximum density protects plants when temperatures drop to -7°C. It has the following advantages:

• allows water to pass through — rainwater is absorbed into the soil and prevents drought;
• excellent air permeability;
• resistance to ultraviolet radiation;
• protection against small pests — aphids and other insects;
• light transmittance — sufficient sunlight reaches plants under the covering material.

Rain, strong winds, and heavy rains — none of this threatens plants if you choose the white variant. Material with minimal density can be used immediately after planting. This product is ideal for creating mini-greenhouses over tall plants.

Black and Black-and-White: Use and Positive Features

This type is mulching. It does not protect crops from frost, but helps them accumulate heat. Black agrofabric is only produced with a density of 50 g/m2. Weeds, wind, and heavy rains do not threaten plants.

Mulching material retains moisture well and protects against insects. Under this fabric, the soil remains loose, retains beneficial microelements, does not dry out, and is not overheated. Among its advantages are:

• ideal preservation and improvement of soil structure;
• rapid soil warming for timely emergence of first seedlings;
• preservation of the aesthetically pleasing appearance of fruits until harvest — they do not touch the ground, so they do not spoil.

Numerous studies have shown that black agrofabric can protect agricultural crops from weeds by 100% without using additional treatments.
