When selecting ropes for agricultural cultivation, it is crucial to pay attention to several key factors to achieve the highest farming efficiency while minimizing costs. Here are some points to consider:
Details
Each type of crop or agricultural cultivation method has its unique characteristics, so choosing the appropriate rope material is essential. Some types of polypropylene (PP) ropes, known for their rigidity and high durability with minimal elasticity, are suitable for making support poles to prevent toppling or trellises for larger fruit-bearing plants. On the other hand, ropes made from polyethylene (PE) material are more flexible and have better elasticity, making them suitable for trellising smaller climbing plants such as cucumbers.
As presented in Section 1, the choice of material is related to the rope's durability and load-bearing capacity (or tensile strength). Below is a specification table for some types of agricultural ropes produced by Siam Brothers Vietnam, meeting European export standards:

Moreover, Siam Brothers Vietnam also customizes ropes based on customer orders, allowing adjustments to specifications and colors to meet high-quality standards.
The specification table serves as a reference for the load-bearing capacity or tensile strength of various types of agricultural ropes. Farmers can use this information to choose ropes that best suit their needs. For instance, for smaller climbing plants like cucumbers, selecting ropes with a smaller diameter and lower tensile strength can be cost-effective. On the other hand, for larger trees such as durians or rubber plants, choosing ropes with higher tensile strength is advisable to provide robust support for the plants. Selecting the appropriate rope based on durability and load-bearing capacity ensures both efficiency and cost savings for farmers.
In addition to the specifications regarding durability and load-bearing capacity, it is essential to pay attention to wear resistance and chemical resistance. The use of chemicals in agricultural cultivation is frequent, and the rope must ensure good chemical resistance to avoid deterioration upon contact. Furthermore, the rope should withstand wear and tear from weather conditions. Siam Brothers Vietnam has produced various types of products for different agricultural purposes, providing resistance to wear, chemicals, and UV rays, ensuring the longevity of the rope. For more information, you can refer to the products on the website: "AGRICULTURAL ROPE".
Special consideration should be given to choosing a type of rope with elasticity, especially for trellising ropes. When the climbing plants have reached a certain height on the trellis and start flowering and fruiting, the use of flexible and elastic ropes helps the rope withstand the weight better, preventing sudden breakage due to the fruiting process and adapting to the development of the fruit.
As outlined in Section 3, the majority of agricultural cultivation takes place outdoors, so ropes with good wear resistance are a mandatory requirement for rope manufacturers. This ensures the highest farming efficiency, cost savings, and longevity of the ropes.
Cost is a crucial factor, as agricultural cultivation is not a highly profitable venture compared to other business types. Therefore, optimizing costs through the appropriate selection of rope products can lead to higher profits for farmers. Customers can explore agricultural rope products from Siam Brothers Vietnam, a manufacturer that can supply directly to consumers without intermediaries, resulting in reasonable product prices.
