Blow molding perforated agricultural plastic film

Blow molding perforated agricultural plastic film

 Aliphatic polyester has good biodegrability. It can be transformed to CO2 and water via microorganism supersession in natural environment.

However, this material’s mechanical property can meet the requirement of use.

In hope of having material not only with good mechanical property but also

have good biodegradability.

PBAT is such material has both good biodegradablity and mechanical

properties.

Description:

          1.  Good tensile strength ,close to traditional LDPE
          2.  Heat resistance ,Impact properties
          3.  Excellent biodegradability. can degraded into H₂O and CO₂ by micro organisms in landfill or water, remaining zero harmful substance in soil and water, totally non-toxic;

          4.  Pleasant cornstarch/lemon smell;

          5.  Soft and smooth touch feeling;

          6.  Competitive price.

Benefits

The use of plastic mulches along with the use of drip irrigation has many benefits such as:

Earlier planting dates

The use of plastic mulch alters soil temperature. Dark mulches and clear mulches applied to the soil intercept sunlight warming the soil allowing earlier planting as well as encouraging faster growth early in the growing season. White mulch reflects heat from the sun effectively reducing soil temperature. This reduction in temperature may help establish plants in mid-summer when cooler soil might be required.

Soil moisture retention

Plastic mulches reduce the amount of water lost from the soil due to evaporation. This means less water will be needed for irrigation. Plastic mulches also aid in evenly distributing moisture to the soil which reduces plant stress.

Weed management

Plastic mulches prevent sunlight from reaching the soil which can inhibit most annual and perennial weeds. Clear plastics do not prevent weed growth. Holes in the mulch for plants tend to be the only pathway for weeds to grow.

Reduction in the leaching of fertilizer

The use of drip irrigation in conjunction with plastic mulch allows one to reduce leaching of fertilizers. Using drip irrigation eliminates the use of flood and furrow irrigation that applies large quantities of water to the soil which in turn tends to leach nitrogen and other nutrients to depths below the root zone. Drip irrigation applies lower amounts of water with fertilizers injected and thus these fertilizers are applied to the root zone as needed. This also reduces the amount of fertilizer needed for adequate plant growth when compared to broadcast fertilization.

Improved crop quality

Plastic mulches keep ripening fruits off of the soil. This reduced contact with the soil decreases fruit rot as well as keeps the fruit and vegetables clean. This is beneficial for the production of strawberries, for example.

Reduction in soil compaction

The plastic mulch covering the soil decreases the crusting effect of rain and sunlight. The reduction in weed quantity means a decreased need for mechanical cultivation. Weed control between beds of plastic can be done using directly applied herbicides and through mechanical means. The soil underneath the plastic mulch stays loose and well aerated. This increases the amount of oxygen in the soil and aids in microbial activity.

Reduction in root damage

The use of plastic mulch creates a practically weed free area around the plant, removing the need for cultivation except between the rows of plastic. Root damage associated with cultivation is therefore eliminated. Due to these factors, the use of plastic mulch can lead to an improvement in the overall growth of the plant.
