ABSTRACT:
A photoreflective sheet comprising a resin foam sheet, a metal foil with an uneven shape in section laminated on a face of the sheet, and a base cloth laminated on the other face of the sheet is described. For agricultural use, laying the sheet under trees in orchards or hanging it from branches facilitates the growth and coloration of fruit even if the fruit are not well exposed to the sunshine, since the metal foil reflects sunshine in all directions. Further, a certain sustained-release preparation coating the back of the resin foam sheet protects fruit from certain pests such as animals, birds, insects, fungi and herbs. The middle resin foam sheet prevents a rise in temperature and dryness in soil. Also, the sheet can buffer the impact that the fruit dropped by a strong wind or heavy rain would receive. Consequently, the sheet provides an excellent effect so that damage to the fallen fruit is limited to the lowest level.
