Duranet Mulching is covering the soil around the plant with plastics film, straw, grass, hay, dry leaves, stones etc. which prevents the loss of moisture and acts as a barrier between the soil and atmosphere. It helps in moderating the soil temperature & micro-climate in the plant root zone, which helps to increase yield and early maturity of crops.
There are different types of Duranet mulch film available as per crop need:
- Black Embossed
- Silver/Black Embossed
- Black/White Embossed
