Black polythene mulch for weed control in mulberry,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Being a widely spaced crop,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], mulberry suffers heavy yield loss due to weed growth which reflects adversely on silkworm cocoon productivity and profit of the farmers and hence it is essential to control it in time.
But under the prevailing situation of labour shortage and hike in wage rate,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], weed management becomes difficult and the weeding expenditure attributes significant increase in cost of cocoon production. Chemical weed management is not advisable because of its side effects to soil,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], mulberry and silkworm.
After pruning and application of fertilizers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the space between the mulberry rows is covered even with grown up weeds,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], using LDPE sheets of 200 gauges and the irrigation is done normally.
The scrap material is cheapest at Rs.15-20 per kg whereas fresh sheet is available in market at Rs. 40-45. It is estimated about 200 kg of sheet is required for one acre of mulberry garden costing about Rs. 3,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 to 8,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],000 depending upon the quality.
However,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the material can be used for years together. As an economic measure farmers can use little quantity to mulch a portion of garden for 7-10 days which is enough to subside entire weed population and can be shifted to other portions subsequently. The mulch is also compatible with drip irrigation system.
