Abstract: Agricultural nonwoven fabrics have been widely used for germination matrix, due to their advantages in terms of thermal insulation, air permeability, durability, strength and biodegradability. Nonwoven fabrics made from straw / cotton fibers were applied for wheat germination. Wheat seeds "Wanmai 33" were used to explore the relationship between wheat germination rate and straw / cotton nonwowen structures. Based on the laboratory germination rate of wheat sprouting, the optimal fabric structure was straw mass ratio of 70%, area density 1500g/m2, fabric thickness 9 cm. This gave a wheat seeds sprouting ratio of 99%.
