How much Celsius can PP weed control fabric increase the ground temperature after covering?
Increase the ground temperature by about 2-4°C after covering.
In agriculture and gardening, weeding is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task, and it also affects the growth and quality of crops. To solve this problem, people invented a kind of ground cover material called PP weed mat, which can effectively suppress the growth of weeds, and also has many other advantages. This article will introduce the principle, function and advantages of PP weed mat, and its application effects in different crops and environments.
The main principle of PP weed mat is to use its shading and heat preservation properties to inhibit the growth of weeds and the heat dissipation of soil. PP weed mat can effectively block the direct sunlight on the ground, making the weeds unable to perform photosynthesis and die, thus reducing the workload and cost of weeding, and also reducing the competition between weeds and crops, improving the growth space and nutrient absorption of crops. At the same time, PP weed mat can also absorb the heat of sunlight, block the heat dissipation of soil, and increase the ground temperature by 2-4°C12, which is conducive to the growth and development of crops, especially in the low-temperature season, it can extend the growth period of crops, market earlier, and increase income. In addition, PP weed mat also has the characteristics of good air permeability, fast water permeability, abrasion resistance, aging resistance, etc., which can maintain the air permeability and drainage of soil, prevent soil waterlogging and soil erosion, and prolong the service life.
PP weed mat has different application effects in different crops and environments, mainly in the following aspects:
In crops that need weeding, such as vegetables, fruits, flowers, medicinal herbs, etc., PP weed mat can save the labor and cost of weeding, maintain a certain soil moisture, reduce the number of watering, increase the soil nutrient content, prevent and reduce diseases and pests, and improve the yield and quality of crops34. For example, in the cultivation of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers and other vegetables, PP weed mat can prevent the fruits from contacting the soil, avoid the pollution and rotting of the fruits, improve the appearance and quality of the fruits, and increase the income. In the cultivation of strawberries, grapes, peaches and other fruits, PP weed mat can prevent the fruits from contacting the weeds, reduce the diseases and pests of the fruits, improve the sweetness and flavor of the fruits, and increase the sales value. In the cultivation of roses, chrysanthemums, peonies and other flowers, PP weed mat can prevent the flowers from competing with the weeds, and maintain the growth potential and flowering period of the flowers.
