Where applicable
In semi-arid zone the water holding capacity of soil is too poor for
healthy growth of plant and most of the plants are whithered away in
harsh weather. Again on sea shore, shifting of sand is sometimes become
problem for nearby agriculture and plantation on the shore. In such
situation open mesh fabrics are very effective for afforestation.
Why applied
In dry climate growth rate of plants of treated area is 20 - 30 %
higher than that of normal plants without treatment due to high
conservation of moisture. On sea shore it arrests shifting of sand
initially and protects agriculture and plants nearby and finally helps
grow vegetation stopping movement of sand forever.
