Red Plastic Mulch 4' x 30'

For early season (only) tomato growing. Has been shown effective in Northern areas. This bright red . embossed 1.0 mil. Plastic mulch has been shown (in USDA tests) to increase production of first quality early tomatoes from 12 to 20% . relative to that of black mulch . in the cooler . Northern areas of the country. (SRM-Red mulch is not recommended for use in warmer . Southern areas . as no additional production increases has been shown in tests.) This dramatic increase has resulted from the film reflecting far-red light up into the plant. A color sensitive protein within the tomato plant that regulates plant growth and development is triggered during the reflecting period. We recommend that you use this mulch on a trial basis.
