Agri Weave Ground Cover

Our Agri Weave ground cover (also known as synthetic mulch, weed mat, or weed stop fabric) has been developed to prevent weeds, encourage water distribution and last longer under higher levels of southern hemisphere UV exposure. We’ve also developed a super reflective ground cover designed to enhance light reflectivity from the ground up.

Weave Pattern & Percolation Colour Type & Reflectivity Weight & Durability
  • Plain Weave – good percolation
  • Broken Twill – high percolation
  • Black – low reflectivity
  • Grey – good reflectivity
  • White – high reflectivity
  • Super Reflective White – high reflectivity
  • Light – durable & long lasting
  • Strong – very durable & long lasting
  • Heavy – most durable & long lasting

Benefits include: Weed Control, Water Distribution, Higher ROI, Durability, Proprietary UV Protection.

Our Solutions

  1. Above soil / product level: Sun (heat and UV), rain and traffic.
  2. At soil / product level: Prevention of weed growth, durability under heavy traffic, reflectivity for reduced heat around the berries, drainage of the water in the pot to prevent ‘wet feet’, percolation of the Agri Weave to prevent water build up and to ensure drainage from the pot, substrate optimising growth.
  3. Below soil level: Drainage of water.
