Agriculture has always had to fight the growth of weeds which, as well as damaging the aesthetic appearance of the crops, also compete for water, light and nutrients. Weeds can also compromise pollination, distracting pollinating insects, as well as stealing vital space from other plants. A range of agricultural techniques have been used to try to tackle the growth of weeds, from manual to mechanical weeding and, more recently, chemical products. The most widely appreciated solution is using specially designed ground covers, which can be made of organic materials such as leaves and straw, or of special fabrics and plastic films. As well as keeping weeds under control, covers used for mulching also reduce the evaporation of water from the ground and encourages early ripening of the fruit, flowers and vegetables because it keeps the covered ground stays warmer. Among professional growers ground covers are also popular as a ground for pot plants growing areas outdoors or inside greenhouses.

Our proposal

UV-resistant polypropylene mulching sheets very robust and porous, highly trample-resistant - even allowing the passage of small tractors. They can be re-used many times and allow the passage of air to the soil beneath, thus maintaining biologically active conditions. Any excess water filters through the fabric without stagnating.
