Soil treatments using TIF (Total Impermeable Films)
Webinar Episode 2
We invite you to watch this webinar about “Soil treatments using TIF (Total Impermeable Films)” presented by our in-house experts in mulching and plastic films sector, Javier Pery and Maribel Hernández.
Why we consider TIF films so important:
- Increase the effectiveness of the disinfection process by preventing the escape of the gases released from the application of the chemical products.
- Save costs in disinfectants, precisely because we can apply fewer doses and achieve the maximum use of these chemicals and also because TIF films prevent these toxic gases from shortening the lifespan of greenhouse cover plastics.
- Also, from an economic point of view, by achieving a better concentration of the application of disinfectants and increasing their effectiveness, we can reduce the time necessary for the soil to be fully prepared for planting.
- Reduce environmental pollution, which is becoming increasingly important nowadays in our societies, precisely to promote the fertility of our soil, air quality, and climate control that can also affect our crops, among many other things.
You'll learn:
- The problem of intensifying agricultural production
- Curative solutions available for soil regeneration: chemical alternatives (CSD), Solarization (SOL), Biofumigation (ASD)
- The role of PE, VIF and TIF films in different soil treatments
- Application forms for soil treatment films
At the end of the webinar there is a Q&A session where Javier Pery and Maribel Hernández answer frequent doubts about this topic.
