An innovative fibrous structure, Agro-Mat has been developed to reduce the consumption of water during irrigation of plants. Some trials have established that the newly developed Agro-Mat could save water by 72% in comparison with traditional watering techniques, such as, Overhead Watering/Sprinkling. Water is a more essential for agriculture for productions of crops, plants herbs and trees. Natural Fibers have an outstanding potential as reinforcement in their properties. The objective of this Study is to develop Landscape Mat and is made with Cocos Nucifera fibers. This study deals with the preparation of Mat by using needle punching technique and it is utilized to agriculture land to reduce water consumption for vegetable crops and plants.
