MULTIFUNCTIONAL AGROTEXTILE FOR AGRICULTURE / HORTICULTURE

Journal Title: ISB-INMA TEH AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL ENGINEERING - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1

Abstract

Agrotextiles are textile materials used in agriculture, horticulture, floriculture, etc. and are part of technical textiles. Mostly produced as nets (knitted or woven), they are increasingly used for their functional benefits, improving the profitability and increasing the greening of the sector by improving the productivity and reducing the need for chemicals. In this paper are presented the results obtained regarding the development of a new type of knitted nets for agrotextiles made from polyester and polyamide yarns. In order to confirm that the developed agrotextiles are suitable for the research purpose, the obtained variants were tested in the accredited laboratories of the INCDTP Bucharest. Thus, the main physicalmechanical features have been tested: weight, density, breaking force, elongation at break, thermal contraction, burst resistance, burst deformation etc. The obtained nets have been experimented in the field to verify their multifunctionality for protection at pests, birds or bad weather (hail, solar radiation, strong wind etc.).
