Silvershine Plastic

No weeds on corn farm due to silvershine plastic layer of Demonstration Plot.


SILVERSHINE?

What is silvershine plastic in agriculture?
Most modern farmers rely on silvershine plastic in agriculture practices for many reasons. If you ever heard of mulching and cover crop... silvershine perform better in their technology. Silvershine Plastic is a long sheet of plastic which one of the side contain silver components and the other side original black colour. The thickness of this product depend on the usage purposes. In food production activity, silvershine plastic is an important components to reach various factors. Silvershine normally used to cover standard beds before planting. Sizes and length per role depends on usage.

An corn farmers does not use silvershine plastic has to control weeds with costs.

Below is the benefits of using Silvershine Plastic:

a. Control moisture content in the bed.
b. Control from weed growth
c. Effect of Silver Layer - Heat and light for tree
d. Reduce evaporation and Soil Erosion
e. Better application of fertilizers
f. Control pests and diseases
g. More than once usage ( 2-3 times)
h. Simple, easy to handle and reasonable price

Chili growers almost 80% used silvershine plastic. The best effect of this plastic is their ability to get rid of THRIPS under chili leaf with the sunlight reflection and heat produced by silver layer. Other pests such as mites, leafhoopers and small insects could not stay under chili leafs. My visit to Myanmar recently to their Research Station shows that study has been done on using silvershine plastic to mung beans crop. Even though it was only a research done but their researcher said it was practical.

In Malaysia, one role of silvershine priced between RM 40 - RM 60 depend on quality and quantity. There is 3 feet width up to 4 feet width and various thickness. Local factory producers now supply for domestic and international market. Farmers growing melon, watermelon, fruity vegetables (Chili, Cucumber, Angled Loofa, Bitter Gourd, Ocra, etc) and many other food crop use this plastic. It reduces cost on spraying weedicide, Insecticide, Fungicide, irrigation and other related costs. So..... use silvershine plastic.
