Agrotech, or agrotextiles, is a major segment of technical textiles and contributes more than 21% of the technical textile sector in India. Agro technical textiles comprise textile products used across agriculture, horticulture, including floriculture, fisheries, and forestry.
The applications of technical textiles in agriculture cover activities associated with the growing and harvesting of crops and animals. The segment includes a wide range of products such as ropes, shade fabrics, mulch mats, woven and non-woven crop covers, bird protection nets, and other specialized textile products.
Agrotextiles support agricultural productivity by providing functional solutions for crop protection, environmental control, water and soil management, and related farming activities. Their use can contribute to improved productivity while reducing dependence on agricultural chemicals. The sector also encompasses specialized products for fisheries and aquaculture, animal husbandry, horticulture, and floriculture, creating diverse applications and opportunities for technical textile manufacturers.

Agrotextiles are technical textile products designed for applications in agriculture, horticulture, floriculture, fisheries, forestry, and animal husbandry. They include products such as shade nets, mulch mats, crop covers, bird protection nets, insect protection nets, ropes, and other specialized fabrics and netting. These products are designed to provide functional benefits such as crop protection, environmental control, soil management, and support for agricultural operations.
The main applications of agrotextiles include crop production, horticulture, floriculture, fisheries, aquaculture, forestry, and animal husbandry. Products such as shade nets can help manage light and environmental conditions, while mulch mats and weed-control fabrics are used in crop and soil management. Crop covers, anti-hail nets, bird protection nets, insect protection nets, fruit covers, and fishing nets address specific protection and production requirements.
Common raw materials for net and twine manufacturing include synthetic fibers and natural fibers, with materials such as nylon, polyester, PP, and HDPE featured in the project report. HDPE granules and master batches are also identified among the raw-material supplies. Material selection depends on the required strength, flexibility, durability, density, mesh characteristics, application, and processing method of the finished product.
HDPE fishing-net manufacturing generally involves converting polymer granules into yarn and subsequently forming the netting. The process described in the report includes raw-material procurement, melting PP/HDPE granules, spinning, cooling and stretching to make single yarn, plying, twining and winding, netting, length/depth stretching, quality checking, bundling and pressing, and packing and dispatch. Process parameters and equipment selection depend on the desired net type, yarn characteristics, mesh size, and product specifications.
Machinery requirements depend on the product range and manufacturing route, but can include extrusion and spinning equipment, hopper loaders, die heads, quenching tanks, godets, hot-water orientation baths, electrical control panels, plying equipment, twining and winding equipment, netting machinery, and quality-control facilities. For monofilament production, the report also covers extrusion, cooling, elongation, annealing, and winding units. The appropriate machinery configuration should be selected according to product specifications and required production capacity.
Important factors include product selection, availability and quality of raw materials, machinery suitability, manpower, utilities, plant layout, material handling, safety, quality control, waste management, and access to markets. Site selection should also consider infrastructure, transportation, power and water availability, labor, storage requirements, and opportunities for future expansion. The manufacturing facility should be planned around the specific characteristics of the selected agrotextile products and applicable quality and regulatory requirements.
Important quality-control activities for fishing nets include checking mesh size, net dimensions, yarn characteristics, construction, knot type where applicable, and overall product conformity. The report specifically covers methods for determining mesh size and includes testing requirements, procedures, measurement of force, testing in wet conditions, calculation and expression of results, and preparation of test reports. Appropriate testing helps ensure that finished fishing nets meet their intended application and specified product requirements.
