Clear Mulch Film – Introduction

Clear mulch film is a transparent polyethylene (PE) film used in agriculture to warm the soil, stimulate early crop growth, and aid soil solarization. Unlike black or colored mulch, it allows sunlight to pass through and heat the soil directly.

Functions and Benefits

Function

Effect

Soil warming

Allows sunlight to pass through → significantly increases soil temperature

Promotes early growth

Warmer soil accelerates seed germination and root development

Soil solarization

High temperatures under clear film kill soil-borne pathogens, pests, and weed seeds

Moisture retention

Reduces water evaporation, especially when used with drip irrigation

Ideal Use Conditions

Condition

Why It Works Well

Cool climates

Helps warm soil early in spring

Greenhouse farming

Boosts early vegetable and flower growth

Soil disinfection needs

Used in summer for solarization — sterilizing the soil

Low weed pressure

Best used where weeds are not a major issue, since it allows light through

 Limitations

Limitation

Why

Poor weed control

Allows light → weeds can grow under the film

Risk of overheating

In hot climates, soil may become too warm

Needs clean soil

Air pockets under the film reduce heating efficiency

Common Crops Grown With Clear Mulch

Watermelon、Melon、Cucumber、Sweet corn、Early leafy vegetables、Tomato & pepper (in spring)

Soil Solarization (Special Use Case)

In hot summers, clear mulch is used to heat soil to 45–60°C to:

Kill fungi, nematodes, weed seeds, and bacteria

Improve soil health before planting (usually for 4–6 weeks)

Often used before organic farming or high-value crops

Clear mulch film is an effective tool for soil warming, early planting, and solar disinfection. However, it’s best used where weed control isn’t the main priority or combined with herbicides or fumigation.
