Geosynthetics in Agricultural Applications
The use of geosynthetics in agricultural applications is growing, with increasing regulations governing the containment and disposal of pesticides, fungicides and insecticides; the conservation and protection of water; and the effects of climate change in the form of extreme weather events like drought, heat-waves, and insect infestations.
Geosynthetics improve efficiency and performance by playing a key role in:
- Channel and pond lining to prevent water seepage loss
- Water surface and groundwater protection from contamination and pollution created by animal waste lagoons
- Water conveyance to preserve and transport clean water for agricultural use
- Waste management liners and capping
- Blankets to help shelter plants from wind, hail and other damage from erosion
- Stabilising unsealed access roads for heavy equipment and machinery
