Advantages of Mulch films –
1) 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.
2) 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.
3) Aesthetic 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.
4) 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.
5) Protection 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.
