It provides control of many of the flying insects that transmit serious virus diseases on vegetable crops such as pepper, tomato, and summer squash. The mulch is made by overlaying a thin layer of silver mulch on black plastic. Even though the mulch is lightweight (only 0.75 mil thick), it is made of high density polyethylene and is very durable throughout the season. Weeds do not grow underneath.  As selected wavelengths of light are reflected from the silver surface, flying insects, for example aphids and whiteflies, are repelled from landing on the plants. Therefore the insects do not feed on the plants and spread deadly crop viruses. Springtime soil temperature under SRM-Silver mulch is generally 1 to 3 degrees lower than under black mulch; therefore, in northernstates early crop production might be slightly delayed. Particularly in more southerly states where fall crops are normally planted, SRM-Silver mulch is very beneficial in thwarting flying insects and ultimately resulting in higher yields because of the reduced incidence of plant viruses. Advantages of SRM-Silver: Repels flying insects. Reduces virus diseases. Improves yields. Conserves moisture and nutrients.
