Mulching Method and its Benefits

18/06/2022Posted on

To protect the crop planted in the field, a layer of grass or plastic is spread around the plant. There are two types of mulch, organic and plastic mulch.

  • Plastic mulching method: – When in the field, the land of planted plants is well covered by plastic sheets from all sides, then this method is called plastic mulching. In this way the plants are protected and crop production also increases. Let us tell you that this sheet is available in many types and many colors.

  • Organic Mulching Method: – In organic mulching, straw, leaves, etc. are used. It is also called natural mulching. It is very affordable. It is often used in zero budget farming as well. Do not burn the stubble but use it in mulching. By the use of mulching, you will get rid of the problem of stubble and the yield will also be higher. 

Benefits: Helps in soil moisture conservation and temperature control, reducing soil erosion by wind and water, providing a favorable environment for plant growth, improving productivity, improving soil fertility and health, and preventing the growth of weeds.
