Mulch Film
Mulch Film
Mulch film is a polymer film used in the farming process. It increases soil temperature, retains moisture in the soil, and prevents leaching of nutrients. The use of mulch film in modern agriculture has many advantages as below:
- Early harvest and early harvest: increase soil temperature, accelerate plant seeding rate and harvest early;
- Conserve moisture: reduce water loss; reduce irrigation frequency;
- Reduce the amount of fertilizer: optimize the ratio and amount of fertilizer;
- Loose soil: Keeps soil loose and well aerated, providing adequate oxygen to roots and improving microbial activity;
- Inhibits the outward spread of the root system;
- Beautification of the environment: creates a clean environment for the daily work of gardeners;
- Weed control: the black film blocks light and prevents weeds from photosynthesizing;
- Inhibiting insect pest activity: Silver and white reflect light, weakening the vision of pests and thus reducing their activity.
With a variety of types to choose from. It is mainly used for the agricultural production of tomato, chilies, watermelon, capsicum, potatoes, brinjal, banana cultivation and mango plantation.

Fully Bio-Degradable Mulch Films
Biodegradable mulch films are new material that contains no plastic at all. The main materials are PLA (Polylactic Acid, or Polyactide) and PBAT (Polybutyrate Adipate Terephthalate). They can be degraded by microorganisms under natural environmental conditions. The polymer components are hydrolyzed, ionized or protonated by microorganismsdue to cell growth. The enzymes decompose water-soluble polymers into fragments, forming new small-molecule compounds and they finally decompose into C02 and H20.
Crops Using Our Bio-degradable & Compostable Mulch Films
Black Mulch Films
Black mulch film is the basic form of agricultural film, which is widely used for various crops and has a thickness of 8-50 microns. The thickness, composition and other properties are adjusted to different crops and climatic conditions.
Features of the black mulch film:
First, the retention capacity for fertilizer is strong. The soil covered with black mulching film, due to the stable change of soil temperature, organic matter is in a normal cycle state, the measurement shows that the soil grown under the black film cover plants in the soil total nitrogen, organic matter, available potassium, alkali hydrolytic nitrogen and other nutritional indicators are improved to different degrees than those covered with transparent film.
Second, the water retention capacity is good. According to the test, the water content at 5 cm depth after the black mulching film is 4-10% higher than the transparent film, regardless of whether it is two days after covering or 35 days after covering.
Third, prevention of negative effects. The light transmittance of the black mulch film is low and the heat radiation is low, so the daily temperature fluctuation of the covered soil may be small. According to experimental measurements, the soil temperature of the soil covered with black film is 1-3 °C lower than that with transparent film during the main growing season of plants. Due to the low heating range, the normal growth of plant roots is promoted, especially in tomatoes, beans, peppers and other vegetables that do not require high soil temperature.
Fourth, Increasing vegetable production. Since the soil temperature of the black mulch film is lower than that of the transparent film, both early yield and total yield may be higher after covering the black film than when covering the transparent film, especially for some crops that require low root growth, such as tomatoes, green beans, cowpeas, late-maturing watermelons, etc. The test has shown that the yield of tomatoes covered with black film increases significantly, up to 11.8%.
Fifth, weed growth is inhibited. After switching to black mulch film, weeds have difficulty growing due to insufficient light conditions. Measurements show that after covering the black film with 5% light transmission, there are almost no weeds left in the soil after one month. When covering with black mulch film with light transmittance of 10%, weeds grow in the soil, but they are weak and do not cause disasters.
Silver/Black Mulch Films
Introductions
The silver/black mulch film produced by our company uses advanced multi-layer co-extrusion equipment and high quality plastic additives to ensure the stable performance of both sides of the film; The black color on the black side facing the ground is evenly distributed, and there are no white spots on the black side. The side facing outward is silver color as standard, which increases the reflected light on the ground, which promotes the coloring of the fruits and has the function of insect and weed control, cooling during the day and keeping the heat at night, keeping moisture and nutrients, increasing the yield, etc., which is a good helper for planting green, environmentally friendly plants.
Greenhouse vegetables can be hung with silver mulch film on the ventilation hole to prevent aphids. When installing, the silver side faces up and the black side faces the ground. The reflective effect of the silver/black film is better than conventional black mulch film, and the soil-cooling effect is more obvious. The silver surface has the effect of repelling aphids, and the black surface can block solar radiation, cool the soil temperature and control weeds.
Features of silver-black mulch:
1. The silver black mulch film adopts multi-layer co-extrusion technology and uses high-quality plastic additives to ensure the stable performance of the silver and black sides of the film.
2. It can promote photosynthesis at the base of plants, and the silver surface has a strong reflective function, which can increase the coloration of the backlight part of the fruit.
3. The strong reflective effect of the silver surface can effectively reduce the soil temperature during the day, while the black side can block the dissipation of soil heat at night and effectively insulate the heat.
4. The black surface can prevent the transmission of sunlight and low light transmission, effectively cool and inhibit weed growth.
5. The silver surface has a strong function in reflecting ultraviolet rays, the light transmittance of silver gray mulch film is 15%, the reflectivity is higher than 35%, and the reflection has infrared rays, which can effectively repel pests such as winged aphids and thrips and reduce the damage caused by diseases and insects. Aphids are the main carriers of virus diseases, and insect control can play a role in preventing viruses.
White/Black Mulch Films
Our company has introduced the series of black/white mulch films. It is used for growing fruits such as watermelons, now widely used and has received unanimous praise from users.
Performance and features: In addition to the heat retaining and moisturizing properties of regular white mulch film. The black white mulching films also inhibits weed growth and regulates soil temperature.
In spring, the plants are settled in the transparent membrane to improve the temperature and protect the seedlings. The root system is later expanded under the black membrane to stabilize root temperature and reduce the effects of high temperatures.
The autumn crops are settled in the black membrane to reduce the effects of high temperatures on the seedlings in early autumn, and the transparent membrane in late autumn can increase the root temperature of mature plants to promote growth.
Perforated Mulch Films
Perforated mulch films have the holes pre-punched to save the cost of punching the holes in the field after laying the films.
The hole diameter, rows and spacing can be adjusted for different crops. We can punch the holes completely or dot them to hold the punched material so it can be removed when planting. We can also print the markings on the film so that farmers can put the holes in the right places by themselves.
The function of perforated mulch film is as follows
- It can increase and control the temperature of the soil.
- Increases the efficiency of fertilizer utilization.
- Change the physical properties of the soil.
- Decrease water evaporation, water retention effect is obvious.
- Increase the light effects.
- Prevent soil salinization.
- Inhibit the growth of weeds and reduce the damage of diseases and pests.
- Promote plant growth and promote early maturation of plants.
