The invention provides a degradable mulching film. The mulching film is prepared from the following raw materials in percentage by
mass: 10-40 percent of composite bio-based modified
plant extract, 20-60 percent of
starch, 10-30 percent of
polyvinyl alcohol, 1-5 percent of
polyester, 5-25 percent of
plasticizer, less than or equal to 0.4 percent of a reinforcing agent, less than or equal to 0.5 percent of a
wet strength agent and less than or equal to 0.1 percent of a defoaming agent. A preparation method of the degradable mulching film comprises the following steps: preparing a composite bio-based modified
plant extract; uniformly mixing the raw materials and granulating; and performing
blow molding to form the film. According to the mulching film,
pollution on soil caused by application of the mulching film can be effectively relieved,
crop growth can be facilitated, a positive effect is played on agricultural production, the bio-degradation rate of a residual film which is used for four months can be over 85 percent, injurious insects can be repelled, breeding of injurious insects can be inhibited, and hazards and
mycosis transmission can be reduced. The degradable mulching film has the characteristics of low cost, low
energy consumption and comprehensive functions; the preparation process is simple and low in cost, and can realize effective utilization of
raw material resources.
