Abstract
Biodegradable plastic mulch offers crop production benefits similar to polyethylene (PE) mulch but is designed to be tilled into the soil after use thereby eliminating waste and disposal challenges. This publication explains the use of plastic mulch in agriculture, what plastic BDMs are made from, and what constitutes biodegradability. It also provides information about the suitability of plastic BDM for organic agriculture.
