摘要

A non-woven fabric sheet for agricultural use, which has been rendered hydrophilic by applying a surfactant on at least part of the surface of a hydrophobic non-woven fabric. This treatment serves to provide the water passage through which water passes from the surface to the back side of the fabric, and imparts a water retentivity of 150 to 300 wt. %. The water passage permits rainwater to rapidly pass there-through from the surface to the back side, and the low water retentitivity prevents an increase in weight of the fabric due to water retention. Abstract A nonwoven sheet for agricultural use made of a hydrophobic nonwoven fabric subjected to hydrophilic treatment in which a surfactant is applied to at least part of the surface of the hydrophobic nonwoven fabric, the sheet being characterized in that the hydrophilic treatment creates channels that allow water to pass from the obverse surface of the nonwoven fabric to the underside thereof and in that the percentage of water retention is within the range of 150 to 300 wt%. The provision of the channels enables water to rapidly pass from the obverse surface of the nonwoven sheet to the underside thereof, and the weight of the nonwoven fabric is not increased by water retention because of a small percentage of water retention.
