Weeds are always a problem for farmers and cost them a lot of money to kill weeds. Traditional weed-killing methods often take a lot of effort, but spraying pesticides is quicker, but leaves a lot of bad consequences for human health.
Currently, anti-grass Ground Cover is becoming the optimal method applied by many farmers and brings many unexpected results. So do you know How to properly spread the anti-grass Ground Cover? Please refer to the article below to understand more.
Uses when using anti-grass Ground Cover
When using anti-grass Ground Cover will bring a lot of great benefits, which can be mentioned:
-
Anti-weed: The black surface of the agricultural Ground Cover is coated with anti-UV to block sunlight. Grass sprouts die in the mulch, and grass sprouts lying on the ground do not receive enough sunlight, so they cannot germinate.
-
Fertilizer retention: The Ground Cover will prevent the fertilizer from evaporating and reduce washout when watering. Using mulch to capture fertilizer helps plants absorb 1.5 times more nutrients than the uncovered soil surface.
-
Limit pests: Insects often lay eggs in the soil. Favorable weather conditions can cause disease outbreaks. Using a Ground Cover will help prevent insects from harming the tree.
-
Regulates humidity: During the dry season, using mulch helps prevent soil moisture from evaporating. During the rainy season, rainwater washes away and erodes the soil. The absorption of nutrients N, P, K, Ca, and Mg from the roots of plants using mulch is 1.4-1.5 times higher than that of bare ground (no mulch). Anti-grass Ground Cover is an effective solution to prevent waterlogging and stagnant water.
