PLA thread, as an emerging eco-friendly material, has shown its unique advantages and broad application prospects in the agricultural field in recent years. This article will explore the various applications of PLA thread in agriculture.
Traditional plastic mulch films have been widely used in agricultural production, but their non-degradability causes severe environmental pollution. Biodegradable mulch films made from PLA thread not only retain the moisture preservation, insulation, and weed control functions of traditional mulch films but also naturally degrade after use, reducing soil and environmental pollution. These mulch films can, to some extent, reduce the need for pesticides and fertilizers, thereby improving crop yield and quality.
Ropes and nets are essential tools in agriculture and horticulture. Ropes and nets made from PLA yarn not only have high strength and durability but can also quickly degrade after disposal, avoiding the long-term environmental impact of traditional plastic ropes and nets. These biodegradable materials are harmless to crops and can, to some extent, enhance the growing environment for crops.
PLA thread can be used to make binding and packaging materials for agricultural waste. These materials can be composted with the waste after use, without causing secondary pollution. Additionally, PLA thread itself can be used as a compost material, further improving resource utilization. This treatment method is not only eco-friendly but also enhances soil organic matter content and improves soil structure.
Covers made from PLA thread can be used for nursery bed covers to help maintain soil moisture, temperature, and reduce weed growth. These covers do not need to be removed after use; they can be directly tilled into the soil to naturally degrade into organic fertilizer, enhancing soil fertility. This method allows farmers to effectively reduce labor and costs, thereby improving the economic efficiency of agricultural production.
PLA thread including PLA short fiber can be used to produce seedling trays and nursery bags, which have good breathability and water retention, conducive to seed germination and seedling growth. During transplantation, these nursery bags can be directly buried in the soil without damaging the plant roots and can naturally degrade, increasing soil organic matter content. This seedling method is more environmentally friendly and can improve plant survival rates and growth speed.
In summary, the application of PLA thread in agriculture not only has good practical value but also effectively reduces environmental pollution, promoting the sustainable development of agriculture. With continuous technological advancements and increased promotion efforts, PLA thread will play an increasingly important role in the agricultural field.
