Abstract


The word “agro textiles” now is used to classify the woven, nonwovens and knitted fabrics applied for agricultural and horticultural uses. India has tremendous potential for production, consumption and export of technical textile. “Agriculture is the backbone of our country” went the saying so far. A textile fabric has a long history of application in agriculture. Agro- textile contributes about 1.5 per cent to the total production of technical textile goods in India, while the globally growing demand for agricultural products is expected to boost the need for agro-textile products.
