Black and white agrofibre with perforation
Two-color black and white agrofibre with perforation (2 rows with holes) – it is a new and most optimal type of mulching, which combines the best qualities of black and white agrofibre.
First of all, it is convenient for farmers in hot regions, since this agrofibre prevents overheating of the root system in the heat of the year.
The density of this agrofibre is 50 g/sq.m. m and use it only for mulching (vegetable, berry crops).
Agrofibre is laid with the black side on the soil, and the white side up: the black side protects against weed germination, so there is no need to use herbicide, and the white side, reflecting excessive sunlight on hot days, protects the root system from overheating. Agrofibre is well permeable to moisture and air, unlike film. As with ordinary agrofibre, the soil does not compact, does not mold and its structure does not change.
It should be remembered that the black-and-white agrofiber must be spread on pre-warmed, dry and weed-free soil. If this recommendation is not followed, it can lead to a delay in the harvest, not to its accelerated receipt. This result is possible because the agrofibre will warm up longer, since the white layer will reflect sunlight.
Advantages of black and white agrofibre:
- protects against weeds;
- passes water and air well;
- keeps fruits and berries clean;
- rot and mold do not form under the material.
Application method: mulch is spread on the prepared bed and one of the edges is fixed. Therefore, they alternately straighten, tighten and fasten the remaining edges. The edges of the canvas are sprinkled with earth or fixed with pegs. Mulching can be done only on loose and moist soil.
Mulching – a good way to enrich poor soil. The material is not removed until the culture is eliminated. On beds with perennial berry crops (strawberries, wild strawberries, etc.), the material remains all year round.
The distance between the holes:
- horizontally: 25 см;
- vertically: 33 см.
