Agricultural plastic materials have been used for a long time to assist farmers in increasing their crop production, improve the quality of their food, and to reduce their ecological footprint. They’re used so frequently that the practice is now known as “Plasticulture”. Agricultural plastic materials include plastic sheets, rods, tubing and films, which are used in the cultivation, harvesting and processing of agricultural products. Plastics are also used in equipment and machinery for bins, chutes, liners are hoppers. The introduction of using plastics in the agricultural industry has enabled farmers to grow fruits and vegetables in all kinds of climates, regardless of the season.

There are many benefits of using agricultural plastics. Firstly, plastics help farmers save water. Plastic irrigation pipes prevent the waste of water and nutrients and can hold rainwater easily. Using plastic also helps to prevent the spread of pesticides, which are often emitted into the atmosphere and can have a considerable impact on the environment. By covering crops and mulch with plastic, pesticides can be kept under the plastic film and cause less harm.
