Bio-based mulch innovations for organic farming Ignatius Kadoma, Ph.D.
Advanced Manufacturing Technology Specialist 3M Film & Materials Resource Division
Polyethylene plastic films are commonly used for agricultural applications, including vegetable production, to control weed growth and conserve soil moisture. Concerns over disposal of petroleum-based plastics, however, have some growers seeking sustainable alternatives.
