BIS certification is essential for Jute Agro Textiles for Growth of Plants and Suppression of Weeds as per IS 17070:2019. This standard ensures that jute-based agro textiles used in agriculture and horticulture are produced in accordance with defined quality parameters that support plant growth while effectively suppressing weed development. Certification under IS 17070:2019 confirms that these biodegradable products meet stringent requirements related to strength, moisture retention, UV resistance, and degradation behavior—features critical for their efficient performance in real field applications. Conformance with this standard reflects a manufacturer's commitment to sustainable, eco-friendly, and resource-efficient agricultural practices.

IS 17070:2019 – Jute Agro Textiles for Growth of Plants and Suppression of Weeds

This Indian Standard specifies the requirements for jute agro textiles, particularly focusing on their application in aiding plant growth and controlling weeds without the need for synthetic herbicides. These textiles are made from natural jute fibers, which are biodegradable and environment-friendly, and are typically used for mulching, soil conditioning, and erosion control. The standard outlines properties such as GSM (grams per square meter), tensile strength, water absorption, biodegradability, and visual quality parameters. It also includes guidelines for sampling, testing, packaging, and marking to ensure uniformity and traceability in production.
