About Crop Covers:

  • Crop-covers generate an outstanding micro atmosphere for seed germination and seedling growth. A crop-cover is positioned over a huge area (a number of rows) of a harvest.
  • In cooler atmosphere, crop-covers are often positioned over direct seeded rows or newly removed crops to create a warmer, more humid micro environment to assist quick plant establishment of warm season crops.
  • Rope covers also offer crop shelter from pesticide.
Product Characteristics:
  • The crop covers can be classified as:-
  • Woven
  • Non Woven
  • Sheet / Film
  • Non-woven crop-covers are the most general across the globe.
  • The less weight and the permeability of these covers permit gas exchange and infiltrations of rain, controls bugs, enhance growth.
  • Even though non-woven materials are more costly, they do not burn crops as willingly by permitting some penetration of water and lower the maximum temperatures under the cover.
  • The non-woven crop covers are ultra-violet treated fabrics of polypropylene manufactured using the spun bond technique.
  • The crop covers are light in weight (generally 17-19 grams per square meter) so that the plants are not crushed under their weight.
  • Generally 17 to 19 GSM UV treated white fabric is used in hot climate and 20 to 30 GSM in cold climates to protect the crops from frost.
  • The non woven fabrics are packed in the form of rolls of 3 meter width and length of 450-500 meters.

    Raw Material:

    The main raw material is Polypropylene.

    Advantages of Using Crop Covers:

  • Higher soil and air temperatures compared to those in the open field which leads to early harvest
  • It also protects crops from rain, hail, snow and wind. 
  • Development in seed bed conditions.
  • It is used to detach varieties to maintain line cleanliness by excluding bugs and thus put a stop to cross pollination.  
  • It increases yields and enhanced harvest quality.

    Technology Used:

    Spunbond machine normally thermal bonding technology used.
