Agriculture and Aquaculture

Drip irrigation is one of the most efficient agricultural systems, designed to precisely release water to the roots of plants. This system is gaining popularity around the world to help maximise plant and crop yield.

Often used to boost the crop yields of fruit, flower and vegetable plantations, mulch films block out weeds and retain soil moisture. By increasing soil temperature and humidity, the mulch film boosts root growth and germination, reducing expenditure on fertiliser or chemical supplements.

Polymers have a very important use in aquaculture. Fishnets made from polyamide, glass reinforced polyamide and polyethylene frame net cages, and pen culture in water-locked areas, are some examples.
