All About Plastic Agricultural Greenhouse Films - Applications - Usage - Specifications

Greenhouse film is one of the most important agricultural films. This Plastic agricultural film for greenhouse farming is said to be the <br>main support of protective cultivation and protective cultivation is the backbone of modern agriculture by which we are able to fulfil the <br>increasing demand of cereals, grains, vegetables, fruits whatever the season and weather condition is. By this plastic greenhouse film a controlled environment can be provided throughout the year for the growth of plant.<br>

Greenhousefilmsplayrolein: Climatecontrol:Greenhousefilmsareabletocreateclimateforplantgrowth throughouttheyear,withregulatedtemperatures,humidity,andlightexposure. Protectionfromweatherelements:Protectionfromdifficultweatherconditions, suchaswind,rain,andhailisanotherpoint.Frostdamagecanbecontrolledbyit. Pestcontrol:Greenhousefilmsmakeabarriertopests,suchasinsectsandrodents, byusingnopesticides. Waterconservation:Asitpreventsdirectinteractionofsunlightwithsoil,water evaporationdecreases.Itmakespossiblelesswaterandmoreirrigation.
