Agricultural Ground Covers

Greenhouse with protective plastic sheeting used for agricultural crop growth and climate control.

Overview

Layfield’s Agriculture Ground Cover products offer a chemical-free solution to weed management in greenhouses. These multi-layer co-extruded products have superior physical properties, including strong resistance to impact and tearing and UV protection. Ground Cover products are available in black/white or single color and can be produced in a range of thicknesses, widths, and lengths to meet specific needs.

Stability Against UV Radiation

We designed Layfield’s ground covers to be highly stable against the effects of UV radiation. The material is treated with advanced stabilizers that help to mitigate the harmful effects of UV radiation, preventing it from breaking down the cover over time. This ensures the ground cover maintains its structural integrity and protects the soil and crops.

Responsible Material Choices

Layfield’s ground cover effectively manages weeds and protects soil without herbicides. A chemical-free barrier supports crop growth while minimizing the need for traditional weed control treatments. The ground cover also helps retain soil moisture, which can contribute to lower water usage, particularly in drought-prone regions. Made from polyethylene, the ground cover can be recycled where facilities exist, offering farmers an option to manage resources more responsibly.

Insulation Cover

Ground cover is an effective solution for insulating the soil against temperature fluctuations. The cover is a barrier between the soil and external environmental factors, such as wind and extreme temperatures, regulating soil temperature and preventing heat loss. This is particularly beneficial in cooler climates or colder seasons, as it helps maintain soil warmth and promote optimal crop growth conditions.
