摘要 |
<p>The present invention is directed to an agricultural covering in form of a woven plastic fabric (10) that includes an area (25) having a lower density of warp threads (12) per unit width compared to the adjacent areas (24, 26) adapted for effortless and effective threading of a securing element (30) through the fabric (10) to encircle a plurality of weft threads (14). By providing multiple reinforced areas (28) spaced in machine direction (120) and extending in a cross-machine direction (140) of the fabric (10), the tear propagation resistance, and/or the weathering resistance and/or the tensile strength of the fabric (10) is improved. By applying a plastic coating (18) such that a strip (22) adjacent to each of the border edges (16) is left uncoated and by attaching the securing element (30) to the fabric (10) in the uncoated strip (22), the breaking load is increased.</p> |
