Solar Shrink™: Innovative Solution in Agricultural Mulch

Innovation

AUTHOR : Javier Pery, Business & Product Development, Agricultural Plastics, Armando Alvarez Group

Solar Shrink™ is an innovative agricultural mulch film that is revolutionising plasticulture with its thinner, tougher, and tighter properties. Its manufacturer tells us all about this product.

Developed by Solar Shrink Pty Ltd and exclusively manufactured by the Armando Alvarez Group for the EMEA market, this mulch stands out for its unique properties that benefit farmers within a sustainability framework.

Unlike traditional mulch films, Solar Shrink™ permanently shrinks when exposed to the sun, closely conforming to the contours of the soil and fitting tightly to the crop bed. This ensures better heat and moisture retention, along with irrigation savings. These features of Solar Shrink™ translate into higher yields and better-quality harvests.

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. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable. The generated Lorem Ipsum is therefore always free from repetition, injected humour, or non-characteristic words etc.
