Mulching Film - Major Success.




INTERIM ANNOUNCEMENT




LUIBEG International are extremely pleased to announce that the first section of a series of trials using a multi layer silver and black mulching film containing a unique d2w formulation have been concluded with exceptional results.


The field trials which are being conducted over a period of 2 years in South India and commenced last Summer, are under the supervision and operation of a Government Research Agency. The overall objectives are to establish that: 1) the d2w will firstly work with this specific application under such climatic conditions; 2) the mulching film would degrade within the required time-frame in order to allow for a double cropping programme and 3) the use of the mulching film would ensure an increase in the yield of the primary crop.


Each objective in this first year`s trial has been achieved with significant results and we are delighted with the outcome. A further series of extremely successful tests, including Accelerated Fluorescent UV Ageing and Cabonyl Optical Density Measurement have been conducted on the mulching film by Symphony Environmental Ltd at our request.


A comprehensive Paper will be published by the Government Research Agency in due course and we will be reporting this in full, along with photographs and more detailed information as soon as possible.


The second section of the trial will commence in August and we are all looking forward to the outcome of the trials. In India, there is a growing and strong demand for the use of mulching film across numerous aspects of agriculture, forestry and the plantations*.
