in obtaining high yields with minimum cost makes use of a new polymer material called "agrovoloknom."What is it known for many gardeners, becauserecently it is gaining popularity.This material is able to create optimal conditions for efficient growth and increase yield of plants.
What agrovoloknom
This lightweight and durable material, known as a spunbond made of polypropylene stabilized, having a very fine structure.It is non-toxic, is not able to accumulate and release into the environment of harmful substances, is resistant to UV rays.It has resemblance to a conventional cloth fabric.Carbon black, which is part of agrovoloknom absorbs enough heat, which contributes to the rapid warming of the soil.In various embodiments - as a covering material or mulch films - can be used agrovoloknom.Application is carried out depending on its type.
varieties and specifications
spunbond main feature is its density.It depends directly on it and the weight of the material.The tighter the shield, the harder it is better able to protect the plants from the more severe frosts.
White agrovoloknom intended for sheltering greenhouses and plants, well miss the sun's rays, air and moisture, retains warmth, planting protecting against cold and UV rays.
serves mainly mulching material, helping to cope with the propagation of weeds, black agrovoloknom.What it is?Material homogeneous structure, which is used directly to cover the soil.It screens out the sun, so underneath nothing grows and at the same time provided with a free access of air and water.Thus agrovoloknom takes the life of weeds and improves the climate in the soil.It is quite robust and able to serve not less than 4-5 years.
Benefits
of the main characteristics agrovoloknom fold it significant advantages over other ground-covering material.Spunbond ability to pass moisture and air provides a good development of crops.Such a "breathable" material prevents overheating of plants in hot weather and protection against low temperatures, it holds the heat much better than the greenhouse film.Some brands spunbond can be used even as a winter shelter.In the struggle for the safety of the crop from birds and insects, this material will also provide invaluable help.
Cultivation under agrovoloknom most crops can significantly reduce labor costs because there is no need to remove weeds, loosen the soil.Besides the absence of fungal diseases affecting plants, eliminates additional processing fungicides.Harvest using this material appears to two weeks earlier.The porous structure allows agrovoloknom water the plants and make fertilizer, without removing the cover.Quite a significant factor is the economic benefit, which in comparison to other materials gives agrovoloknom.The price depends on the density of the material varies in the range of 4-50 rubles per meter.
Black spunbond
mulch agrovoloknom, whose main purpose - control of weeds.It is particularly convenient to use it for growing strawberries and strawberry.The material is spread on the surface of the soil prepared, and then it cut a small cross-shaped holes, in which seedlings are planted.This agrovoloknom can cover the gaps between the rows of tree trunks or sections of trees and bushes.
Due to the fact that the soil is well warmed up beneath him, the development of the root system is much faster, and in the winter under a shelter so it is well maintained.Moisture evaporation is considerably smaller and, hence, there is no need frequent watering.In addition, this material protects the soil from compaction and mold.Absence of contact with the ground berries and fruit preserves them clean and reduces the possibility of putrefaction.Agrovoloknom black is an environmentally friendly material, harmless to humans and plants.In areas with permanent crops it may be year-round.
White agrovoloknom
What it is, is well known to modern gardeners, who in Central Russia cultivated crops such as figs, grapes, pomegranates.Spunbond is the best protection of plants against frost, cold dew, hail, sunburn and pests.Light fabric with a homogeneous structure has a different density and is used to produce a full crop of vegetables, fruits and berries.The most dense agrovoloknom used to cover perennials in the winter as protection against cold and wind.Use it for processing by a spring greenhouses, to get the effect of a thermos.
agrovoloknom white, as a rule, does not require a design in the form of arcs or greenhouses.To create an optimal climate for the plants enough to hide them from above, securing the edges of the canvas.Especially effective is the use of this material for growing strawberries.Plants get enough air and moisture, and the berries ripen clean and nice.Greatly reduced and loss of escape, which often occurs as a result of the greenhouse effect.For trees, shrubs and all vegetable and fruit plants is a versatile shelter agrovoloknom white.Its price is slightly higher than the cost of the film, but still use this stuff is much better, becauseit can serve for many years.And if we take into account the receipt of higher and earlier yields, savings in time to care for plantings, the advantages agrovoloknom unmistakable.
as determined option for growing strawberries
Covering material is not only in color but also in density, and by appointment.Choosing the right option is based on problems to be solved with its help.For mulch for growing strawberries is best to use black agrovoloknom weight of 60 g / m2.The width is chosen based on the size of the beds.
If the plant is necessary to protect against adverse weather conditions without creating additional structures recommended white agrovoloknom whose density is 17 g / m2.It can be used simply by having covered the plant from above.At design time, and in the open ground and in greenhouses is very well proved a covering sheet of 30 g / m2.
agrovoloknom for strawberries used in order to increase productivity, speed up the ripening of berries, as well as to keep the bushes in wet conditions.With the increasing density of the material increases the degree of protection of plants.Therefore, when choosing agrovoloknom be taken into account climatic conditions of the region.
soil preparation and planting of seedlings
soil before planting strawberries must be properly fertilized using compost and ashes.Then carefully loosen it to a depth of 30 cm and form ridges that are required to cover agrovoloknom, fixing him with stones or other scrap materials.At a distance of about 25 cm on the cover makes an incision, under which formed small holes for planting strawberries.
spring is recommended to plant strawberries in small bushes.And in the fall is better to do the seedlings.Planting can be done directly in the cups, while the plants take root better.The wells are prepared in which case deeper.Catching up landing is not recommended to move on agrovoloknom not to reduce its service life.It should make a special track.To do this, fit the conventional boards or paving slabs.
Gardening
Strawberries under agrovoloknom not require any special care, compared with cultures that are in the open field.When the growing season begins, it is necessary to make fertilizer complex fertilizers.She then performed again in August for laying the next harvest.
Watering is best made with a drip irrigation system.This is the most economical and efficient way which minimizes the cost of electricity and water, as well as reduce the amount of fertilizer.Even during hot weather to seven days agrovoloknom ability to retain moisture.For the strawberry is undesirable excess moisture, contributing to the appearance of rot and mold.Therefore, irrigation is done much less frequently than in normal conditions.
Storage Proper storage agrovoloknom and respect to the product makes it suitable for 3-4 seasons.After removing the material from the plant it should be how to shake, and then thoroughly dried and folded.Keep agrovoloknom recommended in a dry and dark place.Otherwise, the material may completely lose their effectiveness.Has got together with the ground moisture during storage can cause rot, making unusable agrovoloknom.The use of such material may cause further disease or even plant death.We must remember this.
Many amateur gardeners and large farms already appreciate the advantages of such coatings are agrovoloknom.What is it and how to use it to maximum effect, already known to many from his own practice.It has become an indispensable tool in the fight against the material to frost, scorching sun and other adverse environmental conditions.
