How Mulch Film Can Increase Soil Moisture And Crop Yield
Precision agriculture has changed the way we think about food production with its focus on efficiency and in minimizing the environmental impact of producing food. Central to this design are tactical, modern ground covers. The particular type of mulch film, as a protective shield, causes fundamental changes in the hydrothermal conditions in the soil. It does this by covering the physical surface of earth, whereby it creates a relatively constant micro-environment that reduces the dynamics of soil conditions; which is one of the major stressors on growing crops." This is not a “nice to have” technology –It has become an essential requirement in order for today’s farming activities to function at peak efficiency. The Dehydration and Desiccation Science Water is one of the scarcest resources in world agriculture yet efficient irrigation is paramount from a growers perspective. When soil is exposed, up to half or more of the water applied can be lost directly via evaporation into the ...
