About the advantages of agricultural Ground Cover/Weed Mat
Keep the soil temperature stable
Agricultural Ground Cover keeps the ground warm at night, especially during colder months or when there is no sun, cold soil, and poor root development. Ground Cover helps keep the soil warm and stable. The root system of the plant is healthier and grows stronger.
Helps to increase the porosity of the soil
The soil under the agricultural Ground Cover will become looser and softer, allowing for easier absorption of nutrients. The ability of plant roots to receive oxygen and the activity of microorganisms in the soil will also be significantly improved by Ground Cover.
Prevent pathogens, harmful insects
The silvery-gray side helps to reflect sunlight onto the underside of the leaves, keeping the leaves away from insects that live underneath the shallow tons, as brighter, hotter conditions prevent insects from multiplying.
In particular, this silver-gray coating also helps to regulate the temperature of the original soil, absorbing less light and providing more light. Helps plants to photosynthesize better in the rainy season and when there is a lack of sunshine.
Ground Cover prevents pathogens from straw or soil from entering the plant, and when the mulch is removed, it dries quickly after rain and leaves remain dry.
Limit weed growth
The black side of agricultural Ground Cover is to prevent sunlight from reaching the ground and dead grass particles in the mulch hinder weed growth. Weeds will not be able to compete with vegetables for nutrients and will not become a habitat for harmful insects.
At the same time, it also helps to save weeding costs, does not affect the roots, and does not affect the growth of plants.
Save water for irrigation and crop fertilizer
When using agricultural Ground Cover, the amount of fertilizer applied to crops will not flow out through the Ground Cover. Thereby, helping to reduce fertilizer loss and save the amount of fertilizer for plants.
Additionally, evaporation is minimized as less water vapor will pass through the Ground Cover, which will reduce the amount of water needed to water the plants.
NOTE: Conventional sprinkler irrigation is not suitable for gardens that use agricultural Ground Cover because water cannot pass through the mulch to the soil and roots. Therefore, the vertical drip irrigation method is more suitable for crops covered by agricultural Ground Cover.
