Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a mulching film, a use of a mulching film as well as an arrangement of a mulching film on a soil surface.
  • a particular prerequisite for mulching films is that the materials exhibit sufficient strength in both dry and wet state so that the films can withstand the forces exerted on them during their lifetime, which is typically one growth season.
  • the mulching films are typically placed on the designated soil surface in the form of elongated strips. The edge areas of these strips are then covered by soil material to weigh the film to the ground. This way, no additional fixation means are required.
  • Commercially available devices for laying out mulching films typically also apply this principle. Different plastics materials have been the materials of choice in the past due to their beneficial properties for the desired purpose, such as tear resistance, water resistance, and durability.
  • An object of the present invention can therefore be seen in overcoming this conflict of interests between plastics-based and paper-based mulching films.
  • a particular object can be seen in providing a mulching film, which allows for reduced environmental impact.
  • a further object can be seen in providing an environmentally friendly mulching film, which can be laid out using conventional devices and/or which can be partially covered by soil material without exhibiting problems due to degradation of the material.
  • the present inventors have now surprisingly found that a combination of a base material made of processed cellulose fibers and a reinforcement layer applied to the base layer may solve the above objects, in particular if the reinforcement layer has a certain disintegration time.
  • the reinforcement layer is only applied to certain areas of the base material. Those areas may particularly be those parts of the mulching film, which are covered by soil when fixing the film to the ground. In the case of a generally elongate, e.g., strip-shaped, mulching film, the reinforcement layer is therefore particularly provided in the longitudinal edge areas of the film, while it does not cover the central portion of the film.
  • the disintegration time of the reinforcement layer is between 6 months and 18 months. This is a period sufficient to provide usability of the mulching film during a complete growth season. However, the reinforcement layer will degrade after the growth season, such that removal of the mulching film after use is not required.
  • the disintegration time as used herein is typically determined under specific conditions, such as in accordance with DIN EN 13432:2000-12. Those conditions typically approximately reflect the durability of the reinforcement layer when covered by soil.
  • the disintegration time of the base material is typically lower than the disintegration time of the reinforcement layer. In areas covered by soil, the base material will therefore degrade quicker than the reinforcement layer. However, this does not limit usability of the mulching film.
  • the reinforcement layer will impart mechanical stability to the mulching film, even after the base material has undergone complete disintegration in those parts of the film, which are provided with the reinforcement layer.
  • the base material In contrast, in those areas of the mulching film, which are not covered by soil, the base material will typically degrade slower. Therefore, the base material can usually retain its mechanical integrity over a complete growth season, if not covered by soil.
  • the mulching film may be suitable for a mulching period of at least three months, preferably of at least four, five, or six months. This particularly means that the base material can withstand environmental conditions like rain and wind for such period without undergoing excessive degradation, if it is not covered by soil.
  • the reinforcement layer may provided at least in a fixing portion of the mulching film.
  • the fixing portion typically is the part of the mulching film, which is covered by soil material when the mulching film is weighed to the ground. If the mulching film is an elongate material, there may be two fixing portions running in lengthwise direction, or in other words parallel to the longitudinal edges, of the mulching film.
  • the reinforcement layer may then be provided in the form of two separate lanes, each of the lanes being arranged in one of the fixing portions. The two lanes will typically be interspersed by an area of base material, which is not covered by the reinforcement layer. The lanes typically have a greater width than the fixing portions.
  • the width of one lane may be less than 30%, in particular less than 25%, of the width of the mulching film.
  • the width of one lane may be more than 5%, in particular more than 10%, of the width of the mulching film.
  • the areas of the base material covered by the reinforcement layer should extend beyond the fixing portion(s) of the mulching film.
  • a connection portion may be provided, which is not intended to be covered by soil material, but which is provided with the reinforcement layer.
  • the film which comprise the reinforcement layer
  • also base material is provided.
  • the fixing portion may partially or completely comprise the reinforcement layer without base material.
  • an overlap between base material and reinforcement layer is only present in a connection portion or in connection portions.
  • two fixing portions may run in lengthwise direction of the mulching film.
  • the fixing portions may extend from the edges or from near the edges of the mulching film towards the center of the mulching film.
  • the fixing portions are typically intended by be covered by soil material.
  • the fixing portions may be neighbored by connection portions, which also run in lengthwise direction of the mulching film and in particular parallel to the fixing portions.
  • the connection portions may also be provided with the reinforcement layer. Additionally, a central portion may be provided between the connection portions, where no reinforcement layer is provided. Typically, neither the connection portions nor the central portion is intended to be covered by soil material.
  • the mulching film may have a length of at least 5 m, but the length may also be at least 100 m, or at least 500 m.
  • the reinforcement layer may beneficially be made of or comprise a natural material, such as natural fibers.
  • the reinforcement layer may be a net material and/or a net fabric.
  • the net may be formed of yam from natural fibers, such as flax fibers.
  • connection between the reinforcement layer and the base material may be established by any suitable adhesive, in particular by an adhesive, which is essentially insoluble in water.
  • the mulching film of the invention may be plastics-free.
  • plastics-free particularly describes the fact that the mulching film does not contain synthetic or semisynthetic polymers. Materials that contain traces of plastics are covered by the term “plastics-free”.
  • the mulching film may be composed of only two layers, namely the base material and the reinforcement layer.
  • a “layer” particularly relates to a part of the film having substantially uniform composition at least in the thickness direction of the film.
  • the term “thickness direction” may refer to an orientation that runs transverse to the main plane of extension of the film.
  • the base material may be paper, in particular Kraft paper.
  • the base material may be microcrepped paper or microcrepped Kraft paper.
  • base material may lead to improved function of the mulching film, as they may impart the base material with beneficial characteristics, especially in areas of the film, which are not covered by the reinforcement layer.
