北卡罗来纳州立大学研发的一款名为"植物护甲"的三维纺织覆盖物在田间试验中取得显著成效，草莓产量最高增加了3.56倍1。这种织物通过物理屏障阻挡昆虫侵害，同时保持阳光、雨水和空气的正常通过，有效减少了杀虫剂和水的使用需求1。
该技术的灵感源自军事制服领域的研究，当初目的是为了提高士兵的舒适度1。设计采用三维多孔结构，在不降低光照可用性或相对湿度的前提下为植物提供保护1。受保护的草莓植株进入结果阶段的时间更早1。相关研究成果已发表于《Agriculture》期刊2026年第16卷第19期1，并获得了美国专利（专利号US Patent No. 11,582,968 B2，授予时间为2023年2月21日）1。该项目获得北卡罗来纳农业基金会（资助号AG00463770）的支持1。
Researchers at North Carolina State University have developed a three-dimensional textile covering called "Plant Armor" that dramatically increases strawberry production in field trials.1 The innovative fabric achieved yield increases of up to 3.56 times by creating a physical barrier that blocks insects while still allowing sunlight, rainwater, and air to pass through.1 The technology also enables significant reductions in pesticide and water use.1
The porous structure of the Plant Armor textile maintains optimal growing conditions without compromising light availability or relative humidity.1 Plants protected by the fabric enter the fruiting stage earlier than unprotected crops, contributing to the substantial yield improvements.1 The innovation originated from military uniform research focused on enhancing soldier comfort, demonstrating how defense technology can be adapted for agricultural applications.1
The findings have been published in the journal Agriculture, Volume 16, Issue 19, 2026.1 The technology has been secured under U.S. Patent No. 11,582,968 B2, issued on February 21, 2023.1 The research was supported by grants from the North Carolina Agricultural Foundation.1
