Magic of Mulching on Vegetable Crops

There are types of mulches available depending on the type of soil, weeds, and climate conditions of the area. In general, there are two kinds of mulch: organic mulch and inorganic mulch.

This technique majorly improves the quality of vegetables due to factors like soil temperature and moisture. For commercial vegetable production, plastic mulches are adopted on a large scale.

Mulch locks moisture in the soil by acting as a protective layer. This keeps plants satisfied and well-hydrated, reducing the need for watering. It is perfect for summer.

Soil temperature is crucial. Mulching helps control soil temperature, which fosters the development of robust roots and thriving food plants and protects roots from winter chill.

Mulching helps prevent water erosion from the soil's surface. It also preserves the nutritional value, avoids nutrient loss, and has an immediate effect on the crop's quality.
