While the use of biodegradable mulch offers clear advantages in terms of end-of-life management, growers need answers to their technical questions. This is the aim of the SOPAM project1, in which the ACPEL2 has carried out agronomic evaluation trials of biodegradable films on melons in the Centre-West of France. FAQ on the trials by Jean-Michel LHOTE.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>What are the difficulties involved in film laying and planting?\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Jean-Michel Lhote : <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biodegradable films were installed without any particular difficulty. It appears that with precise adjustment (centring, tension, etc.) and careful preparation of the soil, it can be done without extra time. However, the staff on the planter sometimes reported greater difficulty in positioning the plants on certain softer mulches.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"mepr_error\"><div class=\"zx-content-lock\">\n<div class='zx-dummy-content''>\n<p>There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable.
