AGRICULTURAL MULCH FILM AND ITS APPLICATIONS

That specialized plastic film that acts as a protective shield to our cultivated crops, protecting its tender roots from excess sunlight, retaining moisture, and shielding the plant from the attack of weeds and parasites, is known as Agricultural mulch film.

Agriculture and domestication constitutes together that one domain, which single-handedly caters to the food requirements of the whole human populace. Every living being is directly or indirectly dependent on the plant produce. But unfortunately the agricultural produce is subject to several key factors; for instance, the precipitation rate or rainfall, sunlight cover, favourable weather, nature of soil (whether or not the soil is pH and salinity balanced), and several others.

ARE MULCH FILMS COST-EFFECTIVE?

Although utilising mulch films increase the initial cost of production for any given plant produce, the major fact that cannot be overlooked is that, the crop gets something sort of an insurance against pests, weeds, excess moisture and sunlight.

These costs are essentially met by the increased income from earlier harvests, good quality of produce, higher yields, and therefore an economic advantage is necessarily procured through the use of plastic mulch. So undoubtedly the returns are pleasing.

This is so important, and all the more, when we know agriculture is but, after all dependent on the moods of nature only. Hence this is a worthy investment in specialized equipment which has to be installed for the mulch films to be put in place. The equipment includes a bed press, mulch layer, and a mulch transplanter, also called a seeder.

WHY USE AGRICULTURAL MULCH FILM?

Plastic mulches have greater mechanization and efficiency in the production of staple plant crops. They have unconditionally aided in providing a proven means of modified environment which as a matter of fact enhances the quality and yield of the overall crop production.This polymer allows the development of cost-effective mulch film solutions. Being the extreme-performance agricultural polymers, they are all-weather sustainable. These agriculture films protect agricultural harvests through every weather.

1. Against insects and pests

It is important to grow these vegetables using mulch film as crops like potato, strawberry, banana etc. are prone to insects and pests which destroy the plant. Thus Mulch Film would protect it from them. Not just that, mulch films also protects the plant from weeds and pests.

2. Moisture management

Since, the crop roots are covered, the water is retained. Also Mulch films are used by farmers to cultivate banana crops as it retains moisture and manure required for cultivation. Mulch Film helps to retain moisture in the soil, and that is natural since the film protects the root from direct sunlight from the sun. It keeps manure at one place.

3. For a healthy soil

It retains moisture of the soil.It also stops soil erosion and keeps the soil fertile. Since weeds are discouraged, it adds to the health of crops, since the same soil has now more nutrients to offer. It also keeps the fertilizers and manure at one place and hence production cost is significantly reduced.

4. Using reflecting agricultural mulch film

Reflecting and/or white film has great performance to reflect light to the back side of leaf of plants. The use of such reflecting type of plastics enhances the equitable distribution of the much-needed sunlight. It helps to increase the efficiency of plant photosynthesis. That helps plants grow better and harvest more.It provides the right temperature for growth.

MULCH FILMS TO BE VOUCHED FOR

Agricultural mulch films that are long-lasting increase crop production rates so that you do not have to keep on replacing tarnished films over and over. And thereby they also allow farmers to become more productive.

• The lifetime of a mulch film varies considerably from months to years. Depending to a large extent on the setup where their usage lies, on their application and the environmental conditions that surround, different mulch films are used differently. For trees, the film is relatively thick and has a substantial lifetime of years until its effectiveness is practically lost. For vegetable or fruit fields, the film is thinner so wears down easily and lasts a single growing season.

• Extreme toughness means a strengthened life and it improves the durability and reduces the risk of waste and spoilage. Outstanding tear strength enhances the durability of thin films. One thing that manufacturers take efforts to ensure, is a high melting strength.
