This is one of the biggest returns on investment when switching to innovative mulch, because it requires far less labor and eliminates removal costs in vegetable production.
Composting and biodegradability tests help ensure that biodegradable mulch used in vegetable production meets required environmental parameters.
It must be 90% biodegraded into carbon and water within two years after plowing into the soil. The remaining 10% becomes microbial biomass, including bacteria and fungi that help decompose organic matter into the soil.
That makes biodegradable mulch film an environmentally friendly and sustainable alternative to regular plastic mulch when the formulation and application fit are right.
