Red Plastic Mulch
Red Plastic MulchRed Plastic Mulch has started a 'tomato red' revolution, this remarkable red mulch helps tomato plants grow faster and more productively. Research has proven this specially engineered red mulch film reflects far-red light wavelengths upward into your tomato plants triggering the release of a natural plant protein that stimulates more rapid growth and development. Your plants will mature faster, look bushier, and give you a more flavorful, more abundant harvest than ever before. Also may be used with strawberries, melons, red peppers and other crops that fruit above ground. Micro-perforations allow water, air and nutrients to reach the soil surface. Not designed for weed suppression.
Red mulch reflects intensified red light to the developing plants, which increases their photosynthetic capacity. More light is reflected early in the season when plant foliage covers less of the mulch, allowing plants to grow more quickly and yield earlier. Tomato yields have increased as much as 20% higher with SRM-Red as compared with black plastic. SRM-Red is a high quality, durable plastic that is 1.0 Mil thick and lies well over flat or raised beds. It has season-long integrity and is easily removed from the field after harvest.

Specifications
Crops Suited for Red Plastic Mulch:
- Vegetables: tomatoes, peppers, melons, onions, potatos, & eggplant
- Small Fruits: strawberries in annual hill system
- Cut Flowers: because of many different species of flowers, on-farm trials should be made
Advantages of Planters Paper:
- Uniform red color for uniform field results.
- Soil warming of 4° to 6° Fahrenheit
- Almost total weed control.
- Reduction of soil moisture evaporation.
- Improved yields, although there will be variation from year to year.
- Easy to install and durable. Our plastic lays extremely well with very few machine adjustments. You can lay it at higher speeds! Strong enough for either double cropping in the same season or possibly over two seasons. Easy field removal.
- Our plastic has superior elasticity with a built in memory that hugs the bed tighter than smooth or cold post embossed films. This material will not flop in the wind.
- This hot cast film is extremely strong and elastic in all directions. In turn it sticks to the bed and will not allow heat to escape.
- Our is more opaque than like gauges of blown or smooth films. This translates into better weed supression and more evenly dispersed temperature control.
- This material has a superior field life and is easy to pick up at the end of the season!

Installation Tips:
- Do not lay paper on dry soil. Beds should be firm.
- To prevent tearing, adjust wheels on plastic laying machine so that they do not stretch the paper.
- Plastic should be in close contact with the soil for maximum heat transfer into the soil.
- Be sure the edges of the plastic are well secured with so
