Agricultural film

Agrofilm, also known as agricultural cover film or protective agricultural film, is a material used in agriculture to protect crops against unfavorable weather conditions and pests, as well as to improve growing conditions. It is made from polyethylene or other durable and transparent polymers that allow sunlight to pass through while reducing heat loss and preventing water loss through evaporation.

The main characteristics and uses of agrofilm include:

1. **Protection against unfavorable weather conditions**: Agrofilm provides a barrier against wind, excessive rain, hail, and extreme temperatures, protecting crops and preventing damage.

2. **Temperature and humidity control**: By maintaining optimal temperature and humidity around the plants, agrofilm can improve crop yield and quality.

3. **Promoting plant growth**: Agrofilm can stimulate the growth and development of plants by providing them with a more protected and consistent environment.

4. **Preventing diseases and pests**: Covering crops with agrofilm can reduce the risk of pest infestations and diseases, as well as contamination from weeds.

5. **Extending the growing season**: By creating a controlled microclimate, agrofilm can allow for the cultivation of plants outside their usual growing season or in regions with unsuitable climates.

6. **Reducing the use of pesticides and other chemicals**: Providing additional protection to plants, agrofilm can reduce the need for chemical applications to combat pests and diseases.

Agrofilm is used in various branches of agriculture, including vegetable, fruit, flower, and ornamental plant cultivation, and is an essential tool for farmers to obtain quality harvests and grow crops efficiently.
