How to plant onions with Novamulch biodegradable paper mulch to increase production in large crops.
Novamulch biodegradable paper mulch has become a key tool for farmers who want to optimize soil management, improve irrigation efficiency and reduce herbicide use, especially in large-scale farming projects.
Novamulch paper stands out for its high level of resistance and biodegradability, making it fully effective and sustainable for all agricultural projects.
Its use is especially necessary for those of us looking for ways to plant onions in large-scale agricultural projects with better yields, greater sustainability, and less manual labor.
Maximum respect for the environment
All Novamulch papers are FSC certified, which guarantees that they are made from wood sourced from responsibly and sustainably managed forests.
How to plant onions with paper mulch and reduce costs.
The use of Novamulch biodegradable paper mulch offers significant economic advantages over conventional agricultural plastics.
Unlike the latter, Novamulch paper does not need to be removed from the soil after harvest, eliminating extra labor and waste management costs.
Novamulch paper can be shredded and incorporated directly into the soil, degrading naturally in just a few weeks.
Furthermore, unlike some biodegradable plastics, it leaves no persistent or polluting residue in the soil, thus preventing medium-term problems for the crop.
All of this translates into direct savings in time, operating costs and soil maintenance, improving the profitability of our onion planting in large-scale agricultural projects.
How to install biodegradable paper mulch for planting onions in large-scale agricultural projects.
Installing Novamulch mulch for planting onions in open fields begins with proper soil preparation. We recommend removing all debris beforehand, especially plastics, metals, and hard stones.
Next, we level the soil and prepare a good drainage system with sufficient aeration. We need to achieve a light texture and a pH between 6 and 7 to develop healthy, robust onion bulbs.
It is important to form raised beds, distribute drip irrigation tapes, and spread the paper in such a way that it covers the entire planting area evenly, securing the edges with soil to prevent displacement by the wind.
Once the Novamulch paper is properly laid out and adjusted, we perforate it, respecting the recommended distances, to place seedlings or seeds. This system allows us to improve water efficiency, reduce weeds, and optimize crop development from the start.

Sowing onions with Novamulch biodegradable paper mulch in large greenhouses for industrial production.
In large-scale greenhouses, the use of Novamulch biodegradable paper mulch allows for the optimization of onion production through a mechanized or manual, fast and uniform installation.
This system facilitates weed control, improves drip irrigation efficiency, and maintains balanced soil moisture and temperature levels.
Furthermore, as it is a completely biodegradable material, we eliminate the need for removal after harvest, reducing operating costs and simplifying management in industrial-scale agricultural operations.
Suitable irrigation for planting onions in large-scale agricultural projects and industrial production greenhouses.
Proper irrigation is key to ensuring uniform bulb development and preventing water stress when planting onions. Onions require frequent but moderate watering, especially during the initial growth and thickening stages. It’s crucial to avoid waterlogging at all times.
In open fields and industrial production greenhouses, the most efficient system is drip irrigation using tapes located throughout the entire area of our agricultural environment.
By implementing the Novamulch biodegradable paper mulching technique, we obtain the following benefits:
- We improved water efficiency
- We reduce losses due to evaporation
- We optimize water usage
- We maintain a balance between soil moisture and temperature
- We will benefit from more profitable and fully sustainable crops.
Novamulch Paper to control Cyperus Rotundus or sedge in onions and its advantages.
Novamulch paper effectively controls Cyperus rotundus (Sedge) for onion planting in open fields and industrial production greenhouses.
Nutsedge is one of the most persistent, invasive, and difficult-to-eradicate weeds. Its underground growth via tubers allows it to regenerate easily, creating strong competition for water and nutrients.
The use of biodegradable paper mulch acts as a physical barrier that limits light penetration and significantly reduces its development, progressively weakening the plant.
Paper is very effective in this fight, unlike agricultural plastic or biodegradable plastic which fail in this task since the sedge grows through it and continues to grow.
Unlike other systems such as conventional agricultural plastics, Novamulch paper will not leave residues in the soil and helps to improve soil structure after its degradation.
Among its main advantages are the reduction of weed control costs, the improvement of crop yield and more sustainable production, especially in agricultural systems that seek alternatives to the use of herbicides.
Application of NovaMulch biodegradable paper mulch in large crops
1. Placement
We can apply NovaMulch biodegradable paper mulch either with an agricultural plastic extrusion machine or with a specific machine for mulching with biodegradable paper mulch very easily.
2. Seeding
The biodegradable paper mulch NovaMulch can accompany us in the process prior to the planting of onion seedlings.
We can also make seedbeds with the quilting paper itself for the subsequent planting of the seedling that will grow in our crop.
We can even put our seedbed directly in the ground, without the need to stress the plant by manipulating it from one place to another since the paper will degrade immediately.
3. Water the onions
NovaMulch biodegradable paper mulch combined with irrigation systems such as drip offers us many benefits, such as increasing and maintaining the soil temperature and optimizing the amount of water used.
It also helps us to obtain cleaner onions, accelerate their growth and reduce pesticides thanks to the natural control it makes of some pests.
Place Novamulch paper in large agricultural projects and greenhouses, for the successful management of high temperatures and water scarcity.
The use of Novamulch paper in open fields and greenhouses is especially effective in areas with high temperatures and water scarcity, as it reduces soil evaporation and maintains a more stable humidity.
Our biodegradable paper mulch acts as a protective barrier, helping to conserve available water and improve irrigation efficiency. It also helps to regulate soil temperature and limit weed growth, which translates into better crop development and greater sustainability in demanding climatic conditions.
In high temperature areas, it is advisable to place the Novamulch paper inverted, with the light brown side facing upwards. This arrangement helps to reduce the increase in soil temperature due to its greater capacity to reflect solar radiation and absorb little heat, favoring the aeration of the soil and the development of the crop in conditions of high temperatures.
Novamulch biodegradable paper mulching agricultural machinery.
We have developed, together with Maquinaria Agrícola Lose (manufacturers since 1981), a specific mulching equipment to place Novamulch paper in the open field.
This installation is fast, uniform and efficient, and allows the incorporation of accessories such as tape roll holders or marker discs that facilitate subsequent planting, by accurately indicating the onion planting points in large areas.
In addition, Novamulch paper can be installed with both conventional agricultural machinery with plastic mulching and with specific equipment for paper, easily adapting to different production systems.
