Mulch foils prevent evaporation and secure optimum moisture of the soil which leads to more effective use of available water.
It retains heat in the soil during the night and secures favorable microclimate conditions in the root zone which results in increased early and total yields of crops.
Black/white mulch film reflects scattered (diffused) light that promotes photosynthesis and plant growth which leads to earlier maturation and higher yields.
Reflective mulch foils less warm the soil underneath than black mulch foils.
Mulch foils prevent evaporation and secure optimum moisture of the soil which leads to a more effective use of available water. Drip irrigation combined with plastic mulch decreased the water consumption of row crops six times.
Mulch film is almost impermeable to gases. The CO2 released from the soil due to the decomposition of organic substances is channelled to perforations on the film made for planting and becomes concentrated around each plant. This small increase in CO2 level around the stomata of foliage promotes growth by enhancing photosynthesis.
Higher humidity increases the amount of dissolved nutrients dispersed in the root zone. It retains heat in soil during the night and secures favourable microclimate conditions in the root zone which results in increased early and total yields of crops.
It prevents weed growth and protects the plant from contact with soil that protects against dirt and moisture. This drastically reduces the rotting process, and the dry environment is preventive related to diseases and pests, especially with crops that lie on the ground.

Mulch foil acts as a physical barrier that prevents weed seeds from receiving sunlight, which is essential for germination. This helps maintain a cleaner garden bed and reduces competition for nutrients and water
Made from premium LDPE & LLDPE from DOW Chemical, provide you better mechanical properties on really thin film extrusion, just from 15 microns. Based on special recipe with DOWLEX® blends adds special mechanical properties.
