PLASTIC ROW MULCH
SLIDE 38
10/21/2014 38
PLASTIC ROW MULCH BENEFITS
Advantages of Plastic Mulch Use
- 1. Earlier planting dates
- Use of plastic mulch alters soil temperature.
- It intercepts sunlight warming the soil
allowing earlier planting as well as encouraging faster growth
SLIDE 39
10/21/2014 39
Advantages of Plastic Mulch Use
- 2. Increased growth
- Higher levels of carbon dioxide accumulates
under the plastic.
- It comes out through the holes made in the
plastic for the plants ad a “chimney effect” is created – resulting in localized concentrations of CO2 for actively growing leaves.
- Plant growth on mulch is often at least twice than
- n bare soil.
- Black plastic mulch can result in 2-14 days earlier
harvest.
Advantages of Plastic Mulch Use
- 3. Soil moisture retention
- Plastic mulches reduce amount of water lost
due to evaporation.
- Less water needed for irrigation
- Mulches also aid in evenly distributing
moisture to the soil which reduces plant stress.
SLIDE 40
10/21/2014 40
Advantages of Plastic Mulch Use
- 4. Weed management
- Plastic mulches prevent sunlight from
reaching the soil which can inhibit most annual and perennial weeds.
Advantages of Plastic Mulch Use
- 5. Reduction in the leaching of fertilizer
- Water runs off the impervious mulch resulting
to maximum utilization of fertilizer.
- Drip irrigation, used with plastic mulch,
eliminates use of flood or furrow irrigation that applies large quantities of water into the
- soil. This tends to leach nitrogen and other
nutrients below the root zone.
SLIDE 41
10/21/2014 41
Advantages of Plastic Mulch Use
- Drip irrigation applies lower amounts of water
with fertilizers injected and thus these fertilizers are applied to the root zone as needed.
- This reduces the amount of fertilizer needed for
adequate plant growth compared to broadcast method.
- With less leaching, water quality is protected.
- Fertilizer utilization is optimized as competition
from weeds is eliminated.
Advantages of Plastic Mulch Use
- 6. Improved crop quality
- Plastic mulches keep fruits off the soil
- No soil splash on plants, this decreases fruit
rot as well as keeps fruits and vegetables clean.
SLIDE 42
10/21/2014 42
Advantages of Plastic Mulch Use
- 7. Reduction in soil compaction
- Plastic mulch decreases the crusting effect of
rain and sunlight.
- Reduced weeds mean decreased need for
mechanical cultivation.
- Soil covered by the mulch stays loose and well
aerated.
- Roots have access to adequate oxygen and
microbial activity is excellent.
Advantages of Plastic Mulch Use
- 8. Reduction in root damage
- Since there is no need to cultivate the soil, rot
damage due to cultivation is eliminated.
- This leads to overall growth of the plant.
SLIDE 43
10/21/2014 43
Advantages of Plastic Mulch Use
- 9. Less crop flooding in wet weather
- Crop drowning is reduced.
- Plant stress due to excess soil moisture is
avoided.
Advantages of Plastic Mulch Use
- 10. Aphids control
- The reflective properties of the aluminum
faced plastic have been shown to interfere with the movement of aphids which spread some viral diseases.

- Protects rows of crops against excessive rains
and strong winds that occur during the rainy season.
- Rainshelters- specifically designed to mitigate
the impact of raindrops on crops that may result to leaf, flower and fruit damage.
- Kinetic energy of bigger raindrops injure plant
cell providing entry to harmful organisms resulting to diseases.
- Lower half portion of shelter is open to allow
- pen air temperature and humidity.

- Tomato and leafy vegetables are the common
crops grown under rainshelter especially during hot-wet months.
- UV stabilized, does not easily disintegrate
even under continuous exposure to sunlight and wind.
- If used as row cover, it covers the entire row of
crops only during continuous heavy rains, in case no rain is expected, the plastic sheet is rolled up and covers only the topmost portion
- f the structure.

Pondliners
- Serves as a hydraulic barrier for pond dikes
and bottoms.
- Durable film that hinders seepage preventing
water loss.
- Power cost for pumping is kept manageable
- Also inhibits reverse seepage, helps preserve
biosecurity as it prevents external (possibly contaminated) water from entering into the pond.
- Where the edges of the pond are installed, the
film also prevents weed growth.
- Protects dikes from the current and wave
motion created by paddle wheel aerators thereby preventing soil erosion and collapse
- f dike wells.
- Cost effective compared to cement plastering
and cementing.
- Can last from 7-10 years.

Organic standards of many countries (including the Philippines) allows the use of agriplastics on organic farms. Organic standards allow the use of polyethylene and polypropylene based products as long as they are not incorporated into the soil and they are removed and disposed of in an environmentally responsible manner.
