Studies on the Colored Plastic Film for Mulching
Japanese Journal of Crop Science, 1971 On the property of mulch films which are effective to either soil temperature raising or weed control, several studies were made from the viewpoint of transmissrion spectrum of film and wavelength dependence of weed growth. A clear polyethylene film was very effective to raise the soil temperature but allowed a thick growth of weeds, while a black one ...
