Covering fruit trees is a fundamental strategy to ensure the quality and quantity of production. The Agriplastics Community article, which we share with a link below, details how plastic covers protect trees from adverse environmental factors such as frost, hail and excessive sun, as well as serving as a barrier against pests and birds.
This post serves as a guide on how to select the right mulch based on the type of crop, local climate conditions, and specific tree needs. For example, it is recommended to evaluate the type of material and its durability, ease of installation, and associated costs. In addition, in this post you will find information on the recyclability of mulch plastics, a topic that is becoming increasingly important in the agricultural sector.
Agriplastics Community stresses that the use of covers not only protects crops, but can also improve fruit quality by creating a more controlled microclimate, which favours more uniform and healthy growth. These practices are especially valuable in regions with extreme climatic conditions or in intensive cultivation systems.
To further explore the benefits and techniques of mulching for fruit trees, we invite you to continue reading at Agriplastics Community.
