Looking Back and Innovating: The Evolution of Ground Cover Technology from Traditional Plastic Mulch to Modern Weed Control Fabric

Title: Ground Cover Technology Iteration: Traditional Plastic Mulch Faces Challenges, New Weed Control Fabric Leads a New Direction for Sustainable Agriculture

In agricultural production, ground cover technology has become a key measure for increasing yields and managing weeds and water. From the traditional plastic mulch widely promoted in the mid-20th century to today's functionally integrated modern weed control fabric, the evolution in this field profoundly reflects the trend of agriculture shifting from pursuing high yields to green and sustainable development.

Traditional Plastic Mulch: Merits and Concerns Coexist

Traditional plastic mulch (especially PE mulch) has made significant contributions to increasing agricultural production in my country by increasing soil temperature, conserving moisture, and suppressing weeds in the early stages. However, its difficulty in recycling and susceptibility to damage have led to serious "white pollution." Residual film can remain in the soil for hundreds of years, damaging soil structure, hindering crop root growth, and potentially posing ecological risks through the food chain. The huge human and financial costs invested annually in cleaning up residual film have become one of the pain points restricting sustainable agricultural development.
