This plastic mulch films made primarily from polyethylene, these films come in various colors, including black, white, silver and transparent. The main purpose of mulching films is to create a protective barrier on the soil surface, offering a range of benefits to plants and farmers alike. Soils support the growth of higher plants by providing a medium for plant roots and supplying nutrient elements that are essential to the entire plant.. Soil properties are the principal factor controlling the fate of water in the hydrologic system. Water loss, utilization, contamination and purification are all affected by the soil.. Samantha L.
