Answer: Mulching is a process of covering the soil with the help
of organic, inorganic and synthetic things. One of the main reason
of this process was to decrease the growth of unwanted things like
weeds etc.
Negative effects are:
- Mulching can cause a decrease or blockage in the amount of
sunlight that will fall on the soil that can prevent some seeds
from germinating.
- There are various worms and insects that grow in dark lack of
sunlight can cause an increase in their number. they can affect the
growth of the plant and can also disrupt the soil
ecosystem.
- During rainy days due to lack of sunlight, the soil may get
muddy and wet and it can stay like that for several days, that will
also affect the plant growth.
