The core feature of weed control fabric is its excellent physical weed suppression.Manufactured using a flat-woven process,it has a stable structure that effectively blocks sunlight for long-term weed control.Simultaneously,it offers good breathability and water permeability,allowing rainwater or irrigation to penetrate the soil quickly,preventing surface waterlogging and ensuring root respiration.Its relatively smooth surface helps prevent soil erosion and fertilizer loss caused by rainwater runoff.Furthermore,it possesses a degree of abrasion resistance,can withstand a certain level of aging and mechanical damage,and has a much longer service life than ordinary plastic mulch.Its use also helps maintain a tidy growing area,reduces habitats for pests and diseases,and lowers management costs.

Weed control fabric comes in various specifications to meet different scenario needs.In terms of weight per square meter,the common range is from 80 gsm to 150 gsm;higher weight generally indicates greater durability.Standard widths are typically 0.8 meters,1.0 meters,1.2 meters,1.6 meters,2.0 meters,3.2 meters,etc.,with custom sizes available.The primary color is black,as it offers the best light-blocking properties;small quantities of green or white are available for specific applications.Materials can be virgin or recycled;virgin material offers superior performance and longer life.Additionally,there are monofilament woven and tape woven(fibrillated)types.Monofilament fabric has high strength and excellent water permeability;tape woven fabric is lower cost but less durable.

Weed control fabric is widely used for inter-row coverage in field crops(such as ginger,potatoes,watermelon,etc.)to effectively control weeds and competition for nutrients.In orchards,such as blueberry,grape,and kiwi orchards,it is used for tree ring or entire row coverage to keep the root zone clean and reduce mowing costs.In tree nurseries,it is laid under plant beds to suppress weeds between seedlings and promote growth.Furthermore,it is used in landscaping and slope protection to control weeds,stabilize embankments,and provide some aesthetic improvement.Installation typically involves laying it flat on prepared soil and securing it with U-pins or ground staples.
