Modern Agriculture & Horticulture : Woven Agrotextiles by Macfil

Macfil Global Pvt Ltd supports commercial horticulture, plantation agriculture, protected cultivation, and orchard management with highly specialized agrotextiles designed for real-world conditions. Our woven technical textiles deliver structural resilience, UV protection, and optimized performance in the field. From open-field weed suppression to precision microclimate control, we manufacture woven agrotextiles that help growers reduce input costs, maximize yield, and extend crop lifecycles.

1. Shade Nets: Light Regulation for Controlled Cultivation

Our HDPE monofilament shade nets are critical in protected farming systems for controlling PAR (Photosynthetically Active Radiation) and reducing plant heat stress. Commonly deployed in polyhouses and shade structures for capsicum, cucumber, lettuce, and ornamental plants, these nets are engineered to provide specific shade factors (35% to 75%) tailored to crop requirement.

Macfil’s woven shade nets ensure dimensional stability, resistance to UV degradation, and minimal elongation under field tension. Their knitted construction allows for airflow and humidity control, reducing fungal risks while supporting robust vegetative growth.

2. Anti-Insect Nets: Microclimate Protection Without Chemicals

Macfil’s high-density monofilament insect nets serve as a physical barrier against whiteflies, thrips, aphids, and leaf miners. With mesh counts of 40 to 52 per inch, these nets are used in greenhouse sidewalls and open-field fencing. Crucially, they allow ventilation while preventing the ingress of even the smallest vector pests.

Ideal for virus-prone crops such as tomato, okra, and chili, our insect nets reduce pesticide dependency and maintain stable microclimates. Their high burst strength and precision-weave structure prevent sagging and ensure long-term efficacy under tropical UV load.

3. Ground Covers / Weed Barrier Mats: Soil Management and Root Zone Hygiene

Macfil’s black woven polypropylene weed barrier mats are used extensively in nurseries, orchards, and plantations to suppress weeds and stabilize soil. With integrated 15×15 cm green gridlines for plantation alignment, they support efficient planting and irrigation.

These covers reduce herbicide use, prevent moisture loss, and discourage nematode migration. Applications include guava orchards, floriculture nurseries, and net houses. The woven structure offers water permeability while blocking sunlight at the soil surface.

4. Hail Nets: Crop Insurance in Physical Form

For apple orchards, pomegranate fields, and grape vineyards, hail events can wipe out entire seasons of revenue. Macfil’s UV-stabilized HDPE monofilament hail nets act as a mechanical buffer, absorbing impact energy without collapsing.

Installed on cable-trellis systems using high-tension mounts, these nets are tailored to high-altitude and hail-prone zones. Mesh structures are engineered for light diffusion while maintaining structural integrity under hailstone impact.

5. Bird Nets: Safeguarding High-Value Fruit from Avian Damage

Macfil manufactures fine-mesh monofilament bird nets used across vineyards, fig plantations, and cherry orchards. These nets prevent bird access without interfering with sunlight or airflow. Precision weaving ensures lightweight handling with durable tensile properties.

Deployed as drapes or canopy covers, bird nets protect export-grade crops during ripening, reducing fruit drop and microbial contamination due to pecking.

Conclusion

Macfil Global’s agrotextiles are designed with direct input from field agronomists, exporters, and growers. These are not generic fabrics; they are engineered tools built to solve high-stakes agricultural problems with precision and durability.

We don’t just sell textiles. We deliver field-tested solutions for serious growers.
