The term weed control in AgroTextiles refers to the control of unwanted vegetation via the use of textiles that compete with crops for nutrients, moisture, and sunlight. These systems promote the removal of weeds and improve the soil and the crops. The technologies for resolving the weeds include the agrotextile-based weed barrier fabrics and chemicals and biological control, which include weed killer, natural, organic, and industrial weed killers, and weed control based on synthetic polymers and eco-friendly materials and compounds intended for long term use in agriculture.
In practice, weed control systems are used on farms, gardens and turfs, also lawn weed control, lawn weed killer and lawn weed treatment. These systems decrease the amount of work needed, decrease the soil destruction, and increase the efficiency of moisture and nutrients in the soil. The systems include physical barriers for crop beds, selective and non-selective treatments, and broad-spectrum, weed and grass killer. These are used according to the type of crop, the use of the land and the degree of weed problem.
