Description
- The present invention relates to a plant fiber mulching mat, and more particularly to a non-woody fiber mulching mat and the production method thereof.
- Generally, the agricultural production includes the steps of land-preparation, sowing, fertilization, hand weeding and harvesting. Each step requires a huge amount of manpower. Particularly, the step of hand weeding requires a huge amount of manpower, which always delays the organic farming for a period of time. In order to proceed the step of weed removal, the farmers conventionally cover the land with the black plastic film for preventing the weeds from growing. Although the plastic film is cheap and convenient, it is non-biodegradable. After the crops are harvested, the farmers don't know how to deal with the useless black plastic film. Besides, because the black plastic film can't be decomposed naturally, it thus results in environmental pollution once the black plastic film is discarded. However, in order to protect our environment, the usage of plastic should be limited. Thus, it is important to provide a biodegradable material for agricultural production. Therefore, a new method for satisfying the requirement of weed removal and preventing the problem of environmental pollution draws a large number of researchers' attention.
