Abstract

Mulch is a covering material produced using either organic or inorganic substances, applied on the soil surface, in cultivation of various crops. Mulching is carried out for varieties of reasons including soil moisture retention, reducing soil evaporation, heat trapping, reducing run-off losses, increasing germination, weed prevention and control, protection of roots from temperature fluctuations and control the soil erosion [1,2].
