PsECB

This erosion control blanket was produced by needle punching an intimately blended mixture of jute and coir. As a considerable amount of erosion takes place along the denuded slopes of mountainous terrains where seeding the surface can be difficult, seeds were trapped in the nonwoven fabric during the process of needle punching itself. Such a pre-seeded fabric would just need to be spread on a slope and suitably watered for the seeds to germinate and vegetation to take root in the presence of manure.
