| Popis: | Nowadays, growing concern about environment and sustainability led to development of new types of materials, which are called “environment friendly” materials. In agricultural field, the use of biodegradable agrotextiles and ecological products is increasing steadily and their performance is getting better and better so that they can be used as replacements for currently used plastic products. This paper provides a brief overview on the use of natural fibre based biodegradable structures in agricultural applications, focusing mainly mulching mats and plant growing pots. The advantages of these biodegradable structures as compared to the plastic ones have been also discussed. info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion |
