Plastic mulch film has become the core technology in vegetable, berry and hemp production.     Plastic mulch film serves so many purposes and has proven to more than pay for itself in most high value crops.     The grower can choose different plastic mulch films to accomplish different objectives depending upon particular needs.     Mostly, plastic mulch film serves to suppress weed growth, control bed temperature, protect against leaching of fertilizers, increase the efficacy of fumigation and protect the crop from touching the soil directly.     Altering the plastic mulch film color, barrier properties, thickness and other characteristics (surface, construction, resin type, etc.) different benefits can be achieved.

Mulch Film Colors

Using different colors of mulch film, a grower can positively affect the crop outcome. Some colors benefit a crop dramatically, other colors provide a limited benefit and still other colors probably offer no benefit but can add quite a bit to a grower’s cost. The following is a summary of the common colors being used today:


Silver Mulch Film:

1.    Presents high and visible light reflection.

2.    Keeps insects away, as they can only see in UV radiation.    Transmits very little light to the ground, which helps reduce the proliferation of weeds in the beds.

3.    Recommended for use in the cool months, from November to April.


White Mulch Film:

1.    Transmits between 60 and 70% of incident sunlight to the ground.

2.    Recommended for use in hot areas or during the warm months of the year.


Black/Silver Mulch Film:

1.    Reflects a large amount of light toward the foliage, thus increasing photosynthesis and keeping insects away.

2.    Transmits very little light to the ground, offering good weed control and preventing excessive heating of the soil.

3.    Produces great earliness of the crop, increasing yield and quality.
