Mulch Film

MIPATEX Plastic mulch is a multilayered polyethylene film for agricultural use available in various colors, widths, and thicknesses, which are used for covering the soil and minimizing weed growth. In addition, mulch sheets prevent moisture loss, modify soil temperature, improve crop yield and earlier crops.

Mulch sheet insulates and modifies soil temperature, limits weed growth, prevents moisture loss, improves fertilizer use efficiency, reduces erosion while protecting plants root against harsh climatic conditions.

MIPATEX multilayered mulch sheets are manufactured from LDPE (low density polyethylene), LLDPE (linear low density polyethylene), UV stabilizers, and other additives using co-extrusion blown film technology.

Mulching sheet saves farmers time, effort, and money along with these main benefits:

1. Minimize the growth of unwanted weeds and plants.
2. It prevents water evaporation from the soil, helps retain moisture, and minimizes water usage.
3. Reduce the temperature fluctuations in the soil, regulate soil temperature between day and night.
4. Reflective silver/black mulch acts as an insect repellant; it helps in keeping insects away.
5. Protect soil from temperature, rain, and other weather conditions and help the soil maintain good health.
6. Prevents direct contact of fruit and vegetables with the soil, reducing fruit rot.

MIPATEX offers a wide variety of mulching films for different growing conditions.

Silver/Black Mulch: Suitable for almost every crop, silver-black mulch is the most popular mulch among farmers. It blocks sunlight from passing below mulch to prevent weed growth. The metallic silver outer surface reflects sunlight, acts as an insect repellent and helps decrease pesticides. This mulch reflects 27% of the light to the fruits and plants; it improves color development.

White/Black Mulch: Highly recommended for crops that require low temperature at the root system. Its outer white surface reflects 60% of sunlight and provides good insulation to the soil from temperature. The black inner surface blocks sunlight from reaching the soil and prevent weed growth.

Transparent (Clear Mulch): Transparent mulching film is ideal for the winter season as it allows sunlight to increase soil temperature and boost root development and early harvest. The disadvantage of clear mulch is that it does not prevent weed growth. 

Black Mulch: Black mulching film is ideal for cold weather. It retains maximum sunrays received during the day and transmits them to the soil to increase its ambient temperature and provide an optimized environment for the best roost stock growth. Also, eliminate weed growth by preventing light transmission to the soil.

Color Mulch: Color mulch sheet is a midway solution for an application that requires advanced weeds controls and moderate soil heat up for optimized roots growth. Color mulch also attracts harmful insects that can attack plant leaves. These films are available in red, brown, green, yellow, and blue.

Biodegradable Mulch: MIPATEX biodegradable mulch sheet contains biobased content, which works as traditional plastic mulch and reduces environmental impact. In addition, the farmer does not have to collect and dispose of the mulch sheet after harvest. 

To prevent weeds, protect soil, and secure crop yield, mulching films need to be made of quality Material with added UV stabilizer and other additives to protect against solar UV rays and agrochemicals. As a leading mulch film manufacturer Mipa Industries guarantee all these standard specifications.
