In the intensive horticulture various ways of protected area are used for the growth of seedlings and the cultivation of vegetables in all seasons. The easiest and the cheapest form of protected area is agrotextile which can be laid directly over field crops. Agrotextiles are nonwovens which are manufactured from textile fibers which are usually of chemichal origin. Textiles, used as a agrotextiles require suitable tensile strenght, and good permeability characteristics with no significant deterioration under the influence of weather changes. Properties of agrotextiles depend on the fibers made of and on the type and conditions of production. The aim of research was to analyse two types of polypropylene (PP) fibers (FiberVisionsŽ HY-Comfort and UV-stabilised PP fibers TrevonŽ) which are used for the production of agrotextiles and to compare the results with the declared properties and to present some methods for the analysis of the textile fibers. The research showed that there is a difference between measured and declared properties and that two types of PP fibers are different regarding textile-mechanical and structural properties.
