The usage of Mulching Films is the best solution to protect the soil that is the prior point for the growth of crops. To supply the proper nutrition to the plant marking the territory is a really intelligent process and a Plastic Mulch Film can do that the best by controlling weed occurrence. Moreover this is excellent to prevent evaporation and retain the water to the soil that helps to upgrade the soil quality. As we know all that we eat, drink or cook basically depends on the soil quality. So if we think to grow qualified crops the first step of the process is making your soil ready to yield and mulching will you there by advance steps. So what is a Mulching? Mulching is a technique of covering soil for advance agriculture to grow the best crop possible. It disallows the contamination of plats and soil with the harmful natural hazardous agents. It has potential to lock water and nutrients to the soil thus it becomes able to supply the satisfactory output to the farmers. So mulching becomes the most essential part to the farmers as an essential part of advance sustainable agriculture techniques. So, we can understand that mulching is beneficial for the better yield but is this possible to farm without mulching? What if I avoid mulching and start yield? Yes you farm without mulch but you must be ready with more water. Because without a cover the soil will lose moisture easily and there will not be any temperature control. With all these the crop needs to share the nutrients with the growing weed and other natural agents. So, the plant will take more time to grow. On the other hand installing mulch before you yield will take care of the moisture and temperature variation of the soil. Soil will be hydrated and full of nutrients from the underground organisms and worms. Now if you grow on this soil the crop will grow better and faster very normally. So how do we learn how to mulch? Is it a very advanced new agricultural technic? This is not at all a very new agricultural technic. We are using agriculture mulching film naturally from long ago just by the name of “natural weed controlling system”. It was made by straw or grass by drying these material of sun. Then the grass, straw, dry leaves were paved on field by a number of layers that the layer can create a cover over the soil and be able to control the weed growth. So the mulching process is a long time agricultural process used by farmers. This is no new at all!!! So whats the new trend is growing? That is Plastic Mulching Sheet. Here is the difference.Thus the long journey of plastic film started in agriculture and the great contribution of plastic increased day by day for last 60 years and above. Hence looking at the per hectre profit we came to know about “Polyethylene” which is the most essential Raw material which takes part of making versatile of materials like “LDPE” & “LLDPE”. “The idea of using polyethylene film as mulch in plant production saw its beginnings in the mid-1950s. Dr. Emery M. Emmert of the University of Kentucky was one of the first to recognize the benefits of using LDPE (low-density polyethylene) and HDPE (high-density polyethylene) film as mulch in vegetable production.” (Wikipedia) So plastic mulching films are made of LDPE in India by 30 micron granules plastic. But while buying you must consider your purpose very clearly. Like, Black mulching films are perfect for those crops which grow better in hot weather condition like, melon, tomato, pepper etc. Silver one is good for cold weathered veggies like lettuce, peas, and cucumbers etc. Silver mulch reflects the sunlight and tries to keep the weather around the crop cool else heat can harm your crop. Mulch Films Usage & Benefits Mulch Films are mainly used for the weed control and ensure saplings protein and growth. The goal of using plastic agricultural mulch film is mainly convey the nutrients to the proper tree we need that it can supply a better yield and increase productivity. Researchers estimate that plastic mulch increases crop yields by a third. This film is made of LDPE or LLDPE that is able to protect soil from harsh weather condition and control the soil temperature as well. For soil environment managing Plastic Mulch Film comes in different colour like Transparent, Silver, and Black. These are used for different purposes of horticulture. Black Mulch: For conserving moisture, controlling weed and reducing radiation. Applicable for dry soil. Reflective Silver Mulch: For maintenance of the root-zone temperature, keeping it cooler. Applicable for sunny and hot region. Transparent Mulch: For increasing the soil temperature and preferably used for solarisation. Applicable for cold region. **Biodegradable Mulch: The film which is not needed to tear out, automatically it is mixed with soil. Specification of a mulch film:
Must Check Properties:-
LDPE UV stabilised made available in Roll. Last but not the least this is asked, after all mulching film is a plastic, is it all good to use it for agriculture as we know the effect for plastic all over the world? So we must discuss about the advantage and disadvantages of using mulch films. Advantages:-

Plastic Tarpaulin contains with 3 type of tarp:
XF Tarpaulin or Cross laminated Tarpaulin sheet which is made in a criss-cross laminated pattern and placed one over the other using the state-of-the-art, patented, cold-roll technique. The cross-lamination and cross-bonding technique makes this type of tarp highly durable, light-weight yet extremely tough, strong & flexible. It is easily distinguished from the others by the unique diamond shaped pattern on the surface. The best one of this quality now a day is made by Supreme Industries Pvt Ltd- No 1 plastic company in India as per BIS 14611 named Silpaulin.

A PVC Coated Tarpaulin is the most durable, strong & tough tarpaulin ever. This is made of a fabric inward with knife coating of polyester resin just like the Bread butter concept on both side. This concept makes it inseparable, waterproof and highly strong. By another side PVC has another tarp as well that is named PVC Hot Laminated Tarpaulin. This is a lamination of 3 layers. A fabric within and 2 piece of PVC both side. This is not inseparable obviously but hard enough. Not only 100 % waterproof, the high density of this tarp makes it Fire Retardant.

The usage of plastic tarpaulin started long back from 17th century with the sailors and now with lots of steps and revolution we have reached to an Era of Tarpaulin. It’s really hard to make a proper segment of the usage. Although looking at the behavioural, usage and enquiry we have tried to panelise it for the help of customer. For the help of our consumer usage and understanding we have divided thee application area of tarpaulin in 5 major categories:
So what does it mean by “UV Stabilised” UV Stabilization is a special quality of a tirpal by which it protects goods under it from harmful UV rays of sun. These tarp contain a special layer of 2-hydroxy-benzophenone and 2-hydroxy-benzotriazole derivatives which protects the tarpaulin and delayed the UV destruction. Expert suggestion for this area: XF or Cross laminated tarpaulin with UV stabilisation, HDPE tarpaulin b. Industrial Purpose and Usage:If your focus area is “Industry” you need a high GSM tarpaulin that is really hard and able to provide a proper safety. So you need a hard and tough tarp here, which is waterproof and fire retardant as well. Expert suggestion for this area: PVC Tarpaulin (Coated or Hot Laminated) with FR quality: protarp XF with high GSM somewhere (Silpaulin) c. Tent House and Transporter Usage:If your need is a tent house, this is clear to us that you are travelling. So you need something that is weather proof, waterproof and portable. For transport usage you need something really hard and able to provide a proper safety. So you need a hard and tough tarp here, which is easy to carry as well.
