Biobarrier® Root Barrier Fabrics

Biobarrier® Root Control System and Biobarrier® II Weed Control System are made of a durable, nonwoven, polypropylene geotextile fabric with permanently attached nodules containing trifluralin. Trifluralin prevents root tip cells from dividing, which is the method by which roots grow. The nodules are engineered to slowly release the trifluralin, creating a zone where root growth is inhibited. The geotextile fabric is porous to allow air, nutrients and water through it so that soil hydrology can continue to be healthy. Biobarrier® is installed vertically around any type of structure creating a narrow protection zone in which roots will not grow. Biobarrier® II is installed horizontally and will inhibit the growth of the most stubborn weeds and grasses.
