Protection of yield and soil: new mulching technology

Biodegradable ecovio® plastic films for mulching is a solution of BASF engineering. It offers the excellent mechanical properties, and it is completely destructed as polymer is to be fully composted. Without recycling this covering plastic film is entirely digested by soil microorganisms. The only thing is to do after harvesting is to bury scraps of plastics into the soil to start the process of biodigestion. Development of ecovio® solution opens new page for wide use of this technology in agriculture. The usage of biodegradable plastic films has shown the good results in plant nursery gardens, vegetable and grape growing.
