During periods of heavy rain, it is advisable to cover the top of the greenhouse with a film to avoid overwetting the soil."Agrotex 60" the black Covering material "Agrotex 60" black is very popular because of its remarkable characteristics. It is effectively used for mulching and warming. Since this fiber does not let in sunlight, no weeds grow under it.
This saves money on chemicals. Vegetables and berries do not touch the ground and remain clean. Micropores evenly distribute irrigation and rainwater. Under the cover, moisture remains for a long time, so planted crops rarely need watering.At the same time the soil is not taken crust and does not require loosening.
Did you know? If after a rain there are puddles on the mulch material, this does not mean that it is waterproof, but it proves that it controls the amount of moisture transmitted.There were also new types of Agrotex, two-layered ones: white-black, yellow-black, red-yellow, white-red and others. They provide double protection.
The application depends on the season, the variety of agrofibre and the purpose of its use. 
In the spring "Agrotex" warms the earth and prevents its hypothermia. The temperature below it is 5-12 ° C higher during the day and 1.5-3 ° C at night. Due to this, it is possible to sow seeds earlier and plant plants. Under the cover of the culture grow, when in the open field is still impossible. The material protects from the weather and sudden changes in temperature, which is typical for spring.
Summer Agrofabric protects planted beds from pests, storms, hail and overheating.
In the autumn the ripening period of late planted crops is extended. In late autumn, it plays the role of snow cover, guaranteeing protection from cold and frost.
Did you know? Depending on the temperature of the pores "Agrotex" expand and contract: when it is hot, it expands, so the plants can "breathe" and do not overheat, and when it is cold, they contract and prevent hypothermia.In winter Strawberries, strawberries, raspberries, currants and other berry crops, perennial flowers and winter garlic are protected against freezing. Material can withstand under a thick layer of snow.
Errors when using
Without taking into account the peculiarities of this or that type of covering material, the following errors can be made:
- Wrong fiber density selection. Its properties and application depend on the density, so you must first determine the purpose for which Agrotex is needed.
- It is wrong to install a fabric that is easily torn if damaged with a sharp object. When attaching to the greenhouse frame, protective pads should be used.
- Incorrect care for fiber. At the end of the season it should be cleaned, following the instructions.
Important! Non-woven material is adapted for hand and machine washing in cold water, but it cannot be wrung out and unscrewed. To dry, just hang it. Not very dirty fabric can simply be wiped with a damp cloth..
