Product Description
ALCUDIA® CA-1121G has been developed to produce films for soil desinfection by solarization. It shows high transparency and heat retention.
ALCUDIA® CA 1121G 40 µm thickness films are suitable for soil solarization in 4-6 weeks during high sunshine season. With these films it is possible to achieve soil temperatures higher than conventional films. This leads to better control of nematoda and fungi so it is possible to reduce the solarization time.
