Black/White Films
These three-layered films are white on the side facing up and black on the side facing down. The white color reflects radiation to prevent the overheating of seedlings, plants and fruit, enhances photosynthesis and repels pests; and the black color prevents the penetration of light and reduces the germination of weeds.
These films are recommended for vegetables, flowers and orchards with single row layouts or for the entire width of greenhouse gables. They are also available with wider widths for wider greenhouse coverage (4-9 meters).

Weed Control
Mulch films reduce water evaporation and in this manner, save water usage. They also reduce the water fluctuations in the soil, and help maintain constant humidity in the root zone.
Water Conservation
The combined use of mulch films and drip irrigation improves water dispersion and contributes to maintaining consistent levels of moisture in the soil. In addition, darkness under the mulch “raises” root development upwards towards the ventilated upper layer of soil, where in the presence of oxygen, their activity is more efficient.
Pest Attraction or Repelling
Transparent or opaque mulch films help retain heat and raise the temperature of the soil, which is extremely important in autumn, winter and early spring. Opaque films (such as black/silver) reduce the day-night temperature fluctuations in the soil, and black/silver and black/white mulch films reflect the light and enhance photosynthesis. These mulch films are suitable for hot seasons. The mulch films prevent direct contact between the plants and fruit with the soil and preserve the quality of the fruit.
Modification of Microclimates in Plant and Soil
Reflective films (silver) repel harmful pests, specifically leaf aphids and trips. Yellow mulch films attract moths and reduce their adhesion ability.
Environments
In open areas, fertilizers may be diluted in the root zone area (specifically in high precipitation microclimate and rainy regions). The use of mulch films prevents this from occurring. However, the mulch films also prevent the removal of salts that accumulate around the root area after rainfall.
