Multi-layer plastic mulch C902

Ginegar’s upgraded films for orchard plantations are manufactured using our unique 5-layer technology, have very strong mechanical properties and are specifically formulated to prevent disintegration resulting from ultra-violet radiation. Studies conducted during recent years in California and more recently in Israel on several types of crops showed that use of these films increases yields, improves the vitality of trees, contributes to significant savings in water and fertilizer, reduces saline damage, contributes to raising the root system to the topsoil and warms them in spring, improves the distribution of horizontal water in the soil, prevets the germination of weeds (except for purple nutsedge, cane , cogon grass , mesquite, or other penetrating weeds), helps save on herbicides and prevents damage to drip pipes. The preparation of the orchard, implementation of the drip irrigation system and application of the mulch films are done before planting; and the crops are then planted into the mulch films. Ginegar offers full technical and agronomic support for the application of the mulch films. Mulch films reduce water evaporation and in this manner, save water usage. They also reduce the water fluctuations in the soil, and help maintain constant humidity in the root zone. The combined use of mulch films and drip irrigation improves water dispersion and contributes to maintaining consistent levels of moisture in the soil. In addition, darkness under the mulch “raises” root development upwards towards the ventilated upper layer of soil, where in the presence of oxygen, their activity is more efficient
