The best mulch which is mostly used in field conditions is the organic mulch, and it can increase the overall performance of crop plants and also brings improvement in soil conditions. These mulches are categorized as rapid decomposers such as compost, leaves, and grass clippings (Green and Watson 1989; Pfammatter and Dessimoz 1997; Samarappuli and Yogaratnam 1984; Singh and Saggar 1997; Tilander and Bonzi 1997); moderate decomposers as paper, straw and hay (Davis 1994; Litzow and Pellett 1993), crop residues (Martin and Poultney 1992); and slow decomposers, e.g., stem bark and woody chips (Downer and Hodel 2001; Green and Watson 1989; Ringe and Graves 1990). Sometimes, slow-decomposing mulch materials like bark mulch can make nutritional problem for fast-growing tree species due to low production of plant root biomass (Davis 1994).

Hortic. 17:174–180 The first key to using straw as mulch is in finding the right types of straw garden mulch. Some straw mulches may be mixed with hay, which can weed seeds that can sprout in your garden rows. Look for a supplier that sells guaranteed weed-free straw.

Bot. 43:1971–1983 An experiment was conducted on oak species with mulching pits in comparison to the control treatment. Manures and sawdust mulches were used for seedling survival of oak species. Outcomes of the study showed the significant effect of germination and seedling survival in relation to the pits with surface plantings using no mulch material (Kacinski 1951). Weeds are a serious agricultural problem and reduce the yield of many crop plants globally. Mulches reduce the survival of every plant which comes under the mulch surface. They are not capable of differentiating between the desired plant and weed species. Mulches have the ability to reduce the population of weed species (Chalker-Scott 2007; Kader et al. 2019).

They’ll decompose into the soil over time, replenishing it with nutrients and boosting plant growth. Often, the spent mulch can just be tilled into the soil. However, because they decompose, organic mulches need to be replenished often (some even monthly!). These types of mulches are typically the most environmentally friendly, especially since they’re often byproducts. So, here are our top organic mulches that stop weed growth and boost soil quality.

As weeds grow, they pull nutrients away from other plants.
