  38. 10/21/2014 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 38

  39. 10/21/2014 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 on 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. 39

  40. 10/21/2014 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. 40

  41. 10/21/2014 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. 41

  42. 10/21/2014 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. 42

  43. 10/21/2014 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. 43

  52. 10/21/2014 • 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 open air temperature and humidity. 52

  53. 10/21/2014 • 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 of the structure. 53
