Pre-cut 30-micron black and silver mulch film, 1.40 x 10 m (33ft)

This FRESAFILM black mulch film, designed specifically for strawberry cultivation, ensures higher yield and quality harvest: it prevents weed growth, retains moisture in the soil, and keeps the fruits clean by isolating them from the ground. Its use also helps reduce the use of chemical products. We offer it in a roll measuring 1.40m (5ft) wide by 20m (66ft) long.

This plastic film is made of 40-micron-thick polyethene, slightly thicker than the standard. It is installed before planting on well-weeded and prepared soil. It is easy to cut with a cutter, allowing for openings for installing young strawberry plants. It is essential to secure the film to the ground so the wind cannot get underneath and lift it. Being black reflects the sun's heat, allowing the soil to warm up more quickly and enabling the plants to root faster. The heat generated by the film also accelerates the ripening of the fruits and promotes a good sugar and aroma content. Protected by mulch, the soil dries out much less quickly, which reduces the need for watering and significantly decreases water consumption. The impermeable mulch film Fraisafilm prevents the growth of weeds by depriving the naturally present seeds in the soil of light; this saves time while avoiding chemical herbicides. The strawberries will rest on the film and not on the ground, thus being protected from soil splashes and less exposed to slugs' appetite. You can install a drip irrigation system to irrigate your strawberry bed. This material has a lifespan of approximately two years.
