Three types of woven geotextiles are currently being manufactured .( a). Coir mesh mattings of two shaft view (b) Coir woven fabrics with loop construction. (c) Coir bags made with latex backed coir matting. Coir mesh mattings of different mesh sizes are most established coir textiles. Mesh mattings having different specifications are available under qualitycode numbers H2M1 to H2M10. These qualities represents coir textiles of different mesh sizes ranging from 18’’ to 1’’. The selection of geotextile for a particular slope depends upon the type of slope, soil condition and vegitation. If the slope is steep, the mesh size will be closer. The decorticated fibrebristle fibre spun on machines can also be woven as geotextiles. Since colour of yarn is not a criteria for geotextile applications, the brown can be better utilized to produce coir geotextiles at a cheaper rate. This will pave way for manufacture of value added products from brown fibre. It provides excellent micro climate for plant establishment and growth.
