Mulching is an agronomic technique adopted in order to reduce the presence of weeds by counteracting their emergence. Its natural variant consists in covering the soil with plant material which, besides shading it to prevent the seeds of the weeds from germinating and emerging, greatly reduces the evaporation of water from the soil. In the agricultural field, mulching is obtained by shredding the residue of the crop previously harvested. After having finished the mulching function, the crop residue begins its degradation process, thus increasing the organic substance content of the soil. Given the benefits obtained thanks to this technique, more and more companies have invested in the treatment of post-harvest crop residues.
