Rockville, MD -- (SBWire) -- 08/06/2018 --Mulching Materials Market Outlook
Mulching materials are referred to the leaves, nut shells, and grass clipping, wood and bark chips and other natural and synthetic materials applied over a plant. The primary functions of mulching materials include soil nutrition and management, weed control and improve aesthetic value of the plants or trees applied. Importance of mulching materials has increased over the years due to rise in weather uncertainties mainly flooding and rapid urbanization leading to substantial soil losses. The application of mulches varies from its application purpose, seasons and stage of plant and tree. Generally, mulches are applied from mid- to late spring and autumn season in a year. Mulches also support in water conservation which lowers watering nearly 35-45%. Increasing water shortage across various parts of the world has limited water use for drinking and agricultural purposes.
Reasons for Covering this Title
Growing need for sustainable agricultural practices including factors like weed control, soil management and water conservation are encouraging higher demand for mulching and thereby various mulching materials. The multiple factors listed above vary with the type of material used. Additionally, the mulching materials not only conserves soil moisture but also improve the yields to the plants and trees applied along with limiting the use of irrigation water, fertilizers and plant protection chemicals.
