What is mulching ?

Mulch is a protective layer made of compost which is applied on the surface of the soil in order to protect it from erosion, conserve the moisture of soil, control weeds & maintain the temperature of the soil. which not only sells a variety of these but is also mulch film manufacturer.

what are the benefits of mulching?

1️⃣ Soil moisture conservation –

Much of the water provided to plants get lost to the air around due to a difference in temperatures (evaporation). Mulch films form an impediment between the cool earth & hot surrounding air.

2️⃣ Protection against weeds –

It’s difficult for weeds to sprout or grow in the presence of a Mulch film since the film forms a barrier between the earth & sun, thereby blocking sunlight from reaching the weeds.

3️⃣Aesthetic look –

Mulch film makes the soil look evenly laid out. This combined with the destruction of weeds makes the crop area look very neat & appealing.

4️⃣ Better crop quality –

Ripened fruits & vegetables become vulnerable to rot when they come in contact with soil. The Mulch film prevents the fruits from touching the soil. Therefore, the rotting of fruits is prevented, thereby giving a better quality of the produce.

5️⃣Protection during winters –

During winters, in cold areas, the ground tends to freeze which displaces plants from their position. Mulch films cannot prevent the freezing of the soil, but they hold the plants firmly in their positions.

6️⃣Prevention of soil crusting –

When the soil is watered from a height, the soil particles tend to get sprayed out in different directions. This is called soil crusting & it reduces & slows down the soil’s water retention capacity. The presence of a Mulch film reduces the impact of the force & makes sure that water just trickles down slowly to the soil.
