TDPA™ mulch films have been used in the fields for many years with no incidence of bio-toxicity or reduced soil fertility. Mulch films with TDPA™ have undergone rigorous eco-toxicity testing (in accordance with OECD Guideline 208, including seed germination, plant growth and organism (i.e. daphnia & earthworms) survival) and found to be non-toxic in soil.
