Environment is becoming intense with each passing year, with global warming being accounted for the same. Therefore, it is time to turn up the heat on non-woven crop protection covers, a latest invention of protective farming.
This year’s summer season is hotter than that of last year. It is virtually hard to step out with a cap or an umbrella. Environmental changes like storm, frost and heat affect not only man life bt life of plants. A plant can feel the heat too, just like humans! While we have two hands to shelter ourselves and two legs to walk into a room, plants, which are living beings too, have no choice, but to stay rooted to the ground that they are growing in, in all kinds of weather.
As a result they suffer from sunburn or die due to frost; it gets damaged by heavy rains, hailstorm, and wind. These problems are not enough they have to compete with weeds, also protect themselves from insect and pest attack. Due to these problems the farmers incur heavy losses and probably fall into depression.
But now due to the creativity and foresight of the agricultural scientists and the superb production of every crop cover manufacturer and extension workers farmers now have approach to crop covers that protect crops of all kinds from heat, cold, rain, hail, winds, weeds and pests, ensuring a better growth environment for all plants.
What is a Crop Cover?
It is a canopy that covers the crops growing in the field, just like an umbrella, it shields every part of the crop from all possible threats. It arrests the sunlight and the heat, ensuring that the plant gets just the amount of these that it needs to develop in a healthy manner.
Benefits of using Non-Woven Crop Protection Cover:
1. Protects plants from sunburn
2. Protects plants from weeds and pests
3. Prevents damage caused by high velocity winds, intense rain and hail
4. Protects crops from intense heat and cold weather conditions
5. Create green house effect
6. Regulates the amount of heat and sunlight needed by the plant
7. Helps reduce evaporation of water from the soil and maintains its moisture content
8. Helps maintain the quality of the produce
9. Increase photosynthetic activity of plants
