Agri Weave Ground Cover

Overview

Spilo’s Agri Weave® is the market leader in weed growth prevention. The built-in strength and proprietary features of the fabric give it outstanding durability and a high resistance to extreme weather conditions and UV.

Until recently, the only two ways, other than manual labour, to control weed growth has been with plastic sheeting or the use of chemicals. Chemicals are harmful to the environment and in some cases are harmful to the crops themselves. A disadvantage of plastic sheeting is that it breaks up easily in windy or rainy conditions. Another disadvantage is the constant maintenance and replacement required in high traffic areas. Sheet plastic is also impermeable, causing water build-up (ponding) on top of the plastic, and root rot underneath. Agri Weave®has been developed to solve these challenges, read on to see how it can be put to work on your farm.

Agri Weave® has been developed using the latest scientific methods and has been proven over more than a decade of use on farms across the globe.
