Why Plastic Mulching Papers in Kenya
Weeds are major problems to crop yields and entirely lead to pest and disease transmission. Weeding can be tiresome, time consuming and at the same time causes competition for moisture and nutrients to plants.
Mulch papers can be laid to save the cost of pesticides and irrigation, or labor costs incurred in weed control.

Mulch papers are good for outfield crop growing where crops face high competition from weeds for water, sunlight, and nutrients.
It is also suitable for greenhouse plants. Greenhouses harbor a lot of weeds due to high fertilizer application. Arbitrary use of pesticides affects the soil and water sources thus not advisable to keep on using chemicals. Instead, opting for mulch papers is good for quality, safer and bumper harvest in your crop fields.
You are also sure to preserve soil fertility while combining drip irrigation and mulch covers to enhance higher efficiency of your production.
