Over the months, we have often dealt with the activities related to the bed forming, describing how much a correct choice of machinery can be fundamental to obtain the maximum in terms of soil productivity. But there are several other useful operations: in these lines we want to highlight all those improvements in agricultural activities deriving from the use of mulching, a technique that can be applied to a large number of crops. Let's find out together, then, when it is appropriate to approach this activity and what advantages it can bring.
First of all, we would like to underline how mulching is a useful operation for any type of land for agricultural use. However, it is always better to work the soil before a particular plastic film or any other material can be laid out. Going into even more detail, it is evident that this activity is suitable especially for some crops, such as melons, watermelons, cucumbers and all cucurbits in general. As a matter of fact, because of their thermal needs, these plants have numerous advantages from mulching operations.
Other crops that respond profitably to mulching techniques are those with a reduced root system (strawberries, chards, spinach and lettuce). Finally, the black mulching sheet can be used for the cultivation of white asparagus, since, by blocking the sun's rays, it avoids colouring.
Choosing to apply a plastic film to your soil certainly brings with it a greater number of working hours, which, however, are rewarded by obtaining a large number of benefits: for example, mulching is fundamental for the crop protection, as it allows you to:
These aspects are also fundamental for promoting the earliness, health, quantity and quality of crop production. If by securing the roots, for example, we can keep the water in the soil and make it available to the plant (producing an increase in the efficiency of the whole plant system), through the preservation of the soil structure, on the other hand, we can make the most of even those soils more clayey or silty.
Cosmeco is well aware that in order to obtain an optimal result, mulching operations must be carried out, if mechanized, using specific machinery for each type of crop. It is precisely for this reason that Cosmeco developed different models of mulch layers, such as:
In addition, all these machines can be customized following the specific needs of the customer.
The distinctive feature of the company has always been its great attention in the search for new technological solutions, which contribute significantly to improving the working life of corporate customers. It is for this reason that Cosmeco is committed to producing extremely efficient and versatile mulch layers, which allow to:
