The densest net grades are used for enclosures; to create shaded areas for animals; and as privacy screening (Especially to camouflage chain-link fencing).

There are also milk white, and two-tone, grades to block sun rays without significantly reducing light levels.

The AG TAPE FS range, are designed for inside use - such as greenhouses and perishable goods storage areas. Their low weight also means they can be laid directly onto plants.
The more robust and durable AG TAPE OM range can be used both inside and out, and are ideal for use in open fields, and exposed places, such as hardening-off areas.

Agro- Protective Garments

During farming there are chances of harmful pesticides will penetrate through clothing and come contact with the skin and cause a problem, use of clothing like rubber apron, waterproof outer garment, and face mask for longer period is difficult so selection of clothing is important. These agro protective garments must be:-

• Lightweight and cheaper
• Protect from pesticides
• Good breathable property and readily washable

Tradionally textiles with polyester and cotton with repellent finish was used today these are made from high-tech woven and non-woven with fluorocarbon finish is used. This new technology of the protective textile not only protects the farmer from harmful pesticides but also keep him comfortable and aesthetically satisfied.

Animal Husbandry

The animal husbandry is another important application where the textile is used for animal related application which is indirectly related with the field.

In this application there is use of agro textiles for 3 main areas

• Identification belts of polyester and nylon material for animals identification
• Filtering of milk in an automatic milking system
• Underlay to reduce the mud on cattle paths and trails.
