Abstract
Nonwoven fibers from biodegradable polymers such as polylactide and poly-3-hydroxybutyrate were obtained by electrospinning. The fiber morphology was studied by optical microscopy. The fiber materials were used like the substrates for the plant growing. The sowing qualities of the "Athena"winter wheat (triticumaestivum L.) and biometric indicators of the plants were determined. The biometric indicators of wheat plants grown on polymer substrates are higher compared with the GOST technique. Eco-friendly fiber materials are promising for the agricultural application. Polylactide and poly-3-hydroxybutyrate undergo a hydrolysis process. They are destroyed to form nutrients for the growth and development of wheat plants.
