Biodegradable Mulching Film

Biodegradable mulching film made of Mater-Bi can be used in various environmental conditions and on crops with different cycles, from lettuce to strawberries.

Mater-Bi’s biodegradable mulching film provides an innovative solution for sustainable agriculture, being fully biodegradable in soil. This means it does not need to be recovered and disposed of at the end of the cultivation cycle. Instead, it is worked into the soil, where it is biodegraded by microorganisms, saving both time and resources.

Pacciamatura: The Process

Soil Preparation:

Begin by clearing the soil as thoroughly as possible, removing any stones or residues from previous crops, such as corn stalks.

Laying and Transplanting:

The film is laid and drilled using the same machinery as traditional plastic films, with special care to reduce tension on the film. Mechanical laying and transplanting can be performed simultaneously.

Agronomic Performance:

Mater-Bi film ensures excellent field performance in weed control, agronomic yield, and product quality.

Collection:

At the end of the cultivation cycle, there is no need for collection and disposal. The film is simply incorporated into the soil, where it biodegrades into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass.
