Weed control fabric’s role in maintaining water and soil and protecting ecology
Weed control fabric is a cover used to cover the land, prevent the growth and spread of weeds. It has many advantages, such as maintaining water and soil, protecting the ecology, etc. This article will introduce the role and mechanism of weed control fabric in maintaining water and soil and protecting ecology.
Weed control fabric can reduce soil water evaporation and loss by blocking the direct sunlight and wind on the soil surface, reducing the temperature difference between day and night, and preventing the formation of soil crust. Weed control fabric can also increase soil water content and permeability by allowing rainwater or irrigation water to infiltrate into the soil smoothly, avoiding runoff or ponding on the surface. Weed control fabric can also prevent weeds from competing with crops for water, ensuring sufficient water supply for crop growth.
Weed control fabric can prevent rain erosion and water and soil loss by reducing the impact of raindrops on the soil surface, reducing the detachment and movement of soil particles, and increasing the resistance of surface runoff. Weed control fabric can also maintain water and soil resources by conserving soil organic matter and nutrients, preventing them from being washed away by runoff or leaching. Weed control fabric can also prevent nitrogen loss by reducing the volatilization of ammonia nitrogen from the soil surface, increasing the nitrification rate of ammonium nitrogen in the soil, and enhancing the utilization rate of nitrogen fertilizer.
