Planting bell peppers with NovaMulch biodegradable paper mulch and maximizing the production of our vegetable garden

Growing bell peppers in gardens can offer excellent results when we apply techniques that improve soil conservation and optimize available resources.

The use of biodegradable agricultural mulch has become one of the most effective solutions to reduce weed invasion, maintain moisture and promote more uniform crop development.

In this context, Novamulch’s biodegradable paper stands out as a sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional plastics, helping to increase bell pepper production while reducing environmental impact and water consumption.

Installing Novamulch paper in these protected environments provides great benefits and has become an effective solution that improves crop performance and quality, as well as reducing maintenance and soil treatment costs after each harvest.

To plant bell peppers in greenhouses, two steps must be followed before installing Novamulch paper on each bed or growing area:

Prepare, nourish and level the soil.

Properly distribute the drip irrigation system so that we can reduce high water consumption.

Holes are made in the paper at the recommended spacing for seedlings or seeds (approximately 30 to 50 cm apart, and 70 to 100 cm between rows). This helps maintain balanced humidity and temperature levels in the root zone, while also controlling the invasive growth of weeds like sedge, promoting more uniform plant development.

The use of Novamulch paper also eliminates the costs of manual weeding and facilitates more sustainable and efficient agricultural management, as it does not generate plastic or polluting waste after each harvest. On the contrary, this material biodegrades and becomes a rich nutrient for the next agricultural project, significantly promoting more sustainable and efficient management, especially on farms seeking to combine productivity and environmental responsibility.

Harvest high-quality bell peppers in vegetable gardens and greenhouses using Novamulch paper.

The use of Novamulch biodegradable paper helps improve the necessary growing conditions to obtain high-quality peppers in both orchards and agricultural greenhouses.

Thanks to its ability to retain moisture, limit weed growth, and maintain a more stable soil temperature, plants can develop more uniformly and healthily throughout the entire production cycle.

In orchards and greenhouses, Novamulch biodegradable mulch also helps keep fruit cleaner and protected from direct contact with the soil, reducing problems associated with excessive moisture and splashing.

This results in a harvest with a better appearance, greater uniformity, and improved market conditions.

Furthermore, the use of Novamulch paper allows for a reduction in plastic waste after the agricultural season, facilitating a more sustainable and efficient production without compromising the final quality of the crop.

Application of NovaMulch biodegradable paper mulch in the vegetable garden

Novamulch’s biodegradable paper allows agricultural mulch to be adapted to different climatic conditions, helping to extend the planting periods for peppers in both gardens and greenhouses. Thanks to the ability to position the paper on one side or the other depending on the ambient temperature, the crop can benefit from better soil temperature control during different times of the year.

In cold periods or during early planting, mulch can be installed with the side designed to promote greater heat retention in the soil, helping to stimulate root development and improve growing conditions in low temperatures. This allows for earlier planting and promotes a more uniform start to the crop.

Conversely, during periods of high temperatures and water scarcity, Novamulch paper can be placed with its light brown side facing upwards and directly exposed to sunlight. This arrangement helps reduce soil overheating, promotes greater transpiration, and allows for better moisture retention around the roots.

Unlike many conventional agricultural plastics, which can excessively raise soil temperatures in summer, Novamulch biodegradable paper offers a more balanced performance in the face of heat, helping to reduce water stress and improve irrigation efficiency.

This ability to adapt to climate makes Novamulch paper a particularly effective solution for producers seeking to maintain the quality and productivity of pepper crops for more months of the year and under very different environmental conditions.

Placing NovaMulch biodegradable paper mulch in our garden

First step: We will proceed to spread our roll of biodegradable Novamulch paper on the surface where we are going to put our peppers.

Second step: We will make a small trench on the sides, and then cover our NovaMulch paper padding so that it does not move with the wind.

Step Three: Once we have the paper spread out and fixed, we will proceed to mark with an X or by cutting a piece of paper to proceed with the planting of the peppers.

Step Four: Water the peppers.

Step Five: Achieve a healthy harvest free of pests and diseases.
