Mulch Films

Mulching is one of the simplest and most beneficial practices you can use in farming. Mulch is simply a protective layer of a material that is spread on top of the soil. Mulches can either be organic such as grass clippings, straw, bark chips etc. or inorganic; particularly plastic commonly used in modern commercial farming.

Plastic mulch technology has been used to cut down production cost significantly as it effectively suffocates the weeds and reduces cost of labour and herbicide use

Benefits of Mulching

• Prevents weed growth
• Labour saving
• Protects the soil from erosion

  

• Prevent Fertilizer Leaching and soil erosion Control
• Prevents soil splashing on the plants and fruits during rains
• Reduces compaction from the impact of heavy rains
• Conserves moisture, reducing the need for frequent watering
• Maintains a more even soil temperature
• Keeps fruits and vegetables clean
• Keeps feet clean, allowing access to the farm even when damp
• Provides a clean, “finished” look to the farm
• Lastly and most importantly, mulching significantly increases crop yields and quality.
