PD CEN/TR 17219 is an international standard used for plastics that specifies the biodegradable thermoplastic mulch films for use in agriculture.
PD CEN/TR 17219 gives guidance for the quantification of alteration of biodegradable thermoplastic mulch films for use in agriculture and horticulture.
Note: PD CEN/TR 17219 can be used for biodegradable thermoplastic mulch films in conformity with EN 17033.
PD CEN/TR 17219 on Biodegradable thermoplastic mulch films is useful for:
Biodegradable thermoplastic mulch films are designed to be tilled into soil after use where resident microorganisms degrade the plastic. They prove to be useful in preventing the heat from reaching the plants’ roots. Biodegradable mulch films have become a common practice in agriculture. Their characteristics in terms of environmental impact have been noticed by ecologists.
Therefore, by using PD CEN/TR 17219 you can apply the provisions of agrarian evaluation on the biodegradable mulching film. This evaluation helps in altering the biodegradable thermoplastic mulch films, which is then compared to the valuation of the damage caused by pathogenic agents.
With the help of PD CEN/TR 17219, you can measure the decomposition that occurs by these biodegradable thermoplastic mulch films and hence conclude the results.
PD CEN/TR 17219 acts as your best guide in quantifying the alteration of Biodegradable thermoplastic mulch films. By using PD CEN/TR 17219 you will be able to maintain the soil ecosystem.
