Solar Plastic Mulch

Solar Plastic Mulch offers the combined benefits of a clear mulch with those of an opaque (black) mulch. Because it’s translucent, it allows for the passage of infrared radiation, which elevates the soil temperature under the mulch, comparable to clear plastic. Like black (opaque) plastic mulch, it blocks radiation from the part of the solar spectrum that promotes weed growth. For maximum weed control, we recommend that Solar Mulch be laid soon after tilling the soil. Solar Mulch is used for any crops where clear or black plastic mulches have been used in the past.
