Agriculture
YR’s applications in the agricultural field mainly include the following aspects:
Soil conservation and improvement
– Preventing soil erosion:
Geotextiles and geogrids can be used on slopes and river banks to enhance soil stability. For example, laying geogrids on the edge of terraces in some mountainous areas can effectively fix the soil, prevent soil loss caused by rain erosion, and protect the fertile soil layer of farmland.
– Improving soil structure:
Geotextiles can be covered on the soil surface to retain moisture. In farmland in arid areas, laying geotextiles can reduce soil moisture evaporation, maintain soil moisture, and create good moisture conditions for crop growth; at the same time, it can also inhibit the growth of weeds
Agricultural facility construction
– Greenhouses:
Geomembrane can be used as a covering material for greenhouses. It has good light transmittance and heat preservation, and can provide a suitable growth environment for crops. For example, in the winter in the north, greenhouses covered with geomembranes can effectively maintain indoor temperatures, allowing vegetables to grow normally in cold seasons.
– Breeding ponds:
Geomembranes can be used to build aquaculture ponds, prevent pond leakage, reduce water waste, and isolate harmful substances in the soil to ensure the cleanliness of aquaculture water. , Reduce weeds and crops from competing for nutrients.
Irrigation and drainage
– Improve irrigation efficiency:
Drip irrigation pipes and infiltration irrigation pipes made of geosynthetics can evenly transport water to the roots of crops, avoid water waste, and improve irrigation efficiency. For example, in greenhouses, the use of drip irrigation pipes can accurately control water supply to meet the water needs of different crops at different growth stages.
– Drainage system:
Geotextile drainage pipes can quickly remove accumulated water in farmland, lower groundwater levels, and prevent crop root hypoxia and pests and diseases caused by excessive soil moisture. In rainy areas, many farmlands are equipped with geotextile drainage pipes to ensure that crops can grow normally during the rainy season.
