- Proven performance backed by years of successful field trials
- Available with pre-holed pattern (18×6 with 75mm diameter) for convenient
installation
Important Note: While Grow Melon mulch film does not come with a warranty, it is
backed by extensive field testing and years of proven performance specifically for melon
and watermelon crops. Thousands of farmers have successfully used this product with
excellent results.
Benefits:
Grow Melon mulch film delivers multiple agricultural advantages that directly impact
your crop yield and operational efficiency:
- 100% Weed Control: Complete elimination of weed growth, reducing labour
costs and competition for nutrients - Water Conservation: Significantly reduces water evaporation from soil surface,
maintaining optimal moisture levels and reducing irrigation requirements - Reduced Chemical Usage: Decreases the need for insecticides and pesticides,
promoting healthier crops and reducing environmental impact - Enhanced Root Development: Promotes increased white root growth, leading
to stronger, healthier plants with improved nutrient uptake - Improved Fertilizer Efficiency: Optimizes fertilizer utilization by preventing
nutrient leaching and maintaining consistent soil temperature - Increased Crop Yield: Delivers 25-30% increase in overall yield, significantly
improving farm profitability and return on investment - Cost Savings: Reduces labor costs for weeding and decreases overall input
expenses - Soil Temperature Regulation: Maintains optimal soil temperature for better
germination and plant growth
Method of Application:
Follow these systematic steps for optimal mulch film installation:
- Land Preparation: Clear the field of debris, stones, and previous crop residue. Level the soil surface and ensure proper drainage. Remove any sharp objects that could puncture the mulch film.
- Basal Dose Application: Apply the recommended basal fertilizers and soil amendments uniformly across the field. Incorporate organic matter if needed. This step is crucial as fertilizers cannot be applied after mulch installation.
- Bed Preparation: Form raised beds with appropriate dimensions for your crop. Ensure beds are smooth, firm, and free from clods or debris. The bed surface should be well-compacted to prevent air pockets under the mulch.
- Mulch Laying: Carefully unroll the mulch film along the prepared beds. Stretch the film tightly to eliminate wrinkles and ensure proper contact with the soil. Secure the edges by burying them in soil trenches on both sides of the bed.
- Hole Making: Create planting holes at the recommended spacing for your crop. Growit offers pre-holed mulch film with standardized patterns (18×6 configuration with 75mm diameter holes) that provide multiple advantages over manual hole making.
Benefits of Pre-Holed Mulch Film:
- Maintains Proper Plant Spacing: The 18×6 pattern ensures scientificall recommended spacing between plants, which is critical for optimal growth, air circulation, and light penetration
- Consistent Plant Population Per Acre: Pre-determined hole patterns guarantee the correct number of plants per acre, maximizing yield potential without overcrowding
- Eliminates Manual Labor: Farmers do not need to manually punch holes in the field, saving significant time and labor costs during the critical planting period
- Prevents Uneven Spacing: Manual hole making often results in irregular spacing, leading to competition between plants and reduced overall yield. Pre-holed films eliminate this problem
- Reduces Plastic Waste Management: When farmers cut holes manually, the removed plastic pieces create waste that requires additional labor to collect and dispose of. Pre-holed films eliminate this issue entirely
- Faster Installation: Pre-holed mulch can be laid and planted in a single operation, significantly reducing field preparation time
- Standardized Hole Size: The 75mm diameter is optimized for melon and watermelon seedlings, providing adequate space for planting while minimizing exposed soil area
Planting: Transplant seedlings or sow seeds through the prepared holes. Ensure
good soil-to-root contact. Water immediately after planting through the holes or
via drip irrigation system installed under the mulch.
Tip: Installing drip irrigation lines before laying the mulch film is highly recommended
for efficient water management throughout the growing season.
