PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a weed control sheet that can suppress growth of plants such as weeds by a simple structure.SOLUTION: A weed control sheet is prepared by combining cloth and a water-repelling agent. Preferably, the water-repelling agent may be applied to the surface of the fiber constituting cloth. Preferably, the water-repelling agent may be a fluorine-based water-repelling agent. Preferably, the cloth may be a non-woven fabric (particularly, a short fiber non-woven fabric containing polyester fibers). Preferably, the short fiber non-woven fabric may further contain binder fibers. Preferably, the cloth may have a basis weight of 50-1000 g/m2 and an apparent density of 0.05-0.5 g/cm3. Preferably, a light shielding rate of the cloth may be 90% or more. A ratio of the water-repelling agent is about 0.1-10 pts. mass to the fabric of 100 pts. mass. When a weed control sheet is laid on the ground, the growth of plants can be suppressed.SELECTED DRAWING: NoneCOPYRIGHT: (C)2017,JPO&INPIT【課題】簡便な構造で雑草などの植物の生育を抑制できる防草シートを提供する。【解決手段】布帛と撥水剤とを組み合わせて防草シートを調製する。前記撥水剤は布帛を構成する繊維の表面に付着していてもよい。前記撥水剤はフッ素系撥水剤であってもよい。前記布帛は不織布(特にポリエステル繊維を含む短繊維不織布)であってもよい。前記短繊維不織布はさらにバインダー繊維を含んでいてもよい。前記布帛は50~1000g/m2の目付及び0.05~0.5g/cm3の見掛密度を有していてもよい。前記布帛の遮光率は90%以上であってもよい。前記撥水剤の割合は、布帛100質量部に対して0.1~10質量部程度である。前記防草シートを地面に敷設すると、植物の生育を抑制できる。【選択図】なし
