Abstract: Agro textiles are one of the twelve categories of technical textiles, primarily utilized in agriculture, horticulture, forestry, and aquaculture. These textiles have been used in agriculture for thousands of years, providing effective crop protection throughout their entire life cycle. The current agro textiles market is mainly comprised of polyolefin and petrochemical-based products. Agro textiles are innovative products that are specially designed for the agricultural applications and practices. With the increase in population worldwide, stress on agricultural crops has increased.[2] As agriculture and horticulture look toward the future, they are adopting various technologies to enhance overall yield and product quality. Agro textiles such as sunscreens, bird nets, wind shields, mulch mats, hail protection nets, and harvesting nets are employed to achieve these objectives.
