Abstract: The present invention is directed to an agricultural covering in form of a woven plastic fabric that includes an area having a lower density of warp threads per unit width compared to the adjacent areas adapted for effortless and effective threading of a securing element through the fabric to encircle a plurality of weft threads. By providing multiple reinforced areas spaced in machine direction and extending in a cross-machine direction of the fabric, the tear propagation resistance, and/or the weathering resistance and/or the tensile strength of the fabric is improved. By applying a plastic coating such that a strip adjacent to each of the border edges is left uncoated and by attaching the securing element to the fabric in the uncoated strip, the breaking load is increased.
