Polyethylene foil for agriculture is used for production of fruit and vegetables so that it is laid directly on the ground, in order to prevent the growth of weeds and insect attacks. Foil in agriculture keeps humidity and stabile temperature regime of the ground. Due to the fact that these foils have to endure some longer period of time, they have to be of a perfect quality, and they are produced as ultra-violet stabilised and coloured. For application of polyethylene foil in agriculture we mostly use PE black film of 1.2 m width and 0.050 or 0.100 mm thickness.

Horticultural foil – Apart from providing of physical protection, polyethylene horticultural foils for greenhouses impact energy equilibrium within the protected space, filtering the incoming light and changing the intensity of ventilation from the ground. There are different types of foils used in agriculture and the most important are:
- UV-stable foil for greenhouses
- UV-stable foil for surface laying (mulch foil) – which is used for production of fruit and vegetables so that it is laid directly on the ground, in order to prevent the growth of weeds and insect attacks. Foil in agriculture keeps humidity and stable temperature regime of the ground.
