Abstract
Abstract A method of mulching comprising mulching plants or soil with antistatic films of a synthetic polymer obtained by the method consisting essentially of continuously printing over at least part of the surface of at least one side of the film of synthetic polymer with aluminum powder by suspending in solvent a composition consisting essentially of aluminum powder and a polyamide resin, setting the suspension down onto the film, and permitting the solvent to evaporate. The films obtained have a surface resistivity of less than 10 10 ohms/cm. The mulching of plants with these films prevents virus degeneration of the plants by virus-carrying aphides, and the mulching of the soil limits the increase of soil temperature in warm environments.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
A method for preventing the virus degeneration of plants by virus-carrying aphides comprising mulching plants exposed to such degeneration with antistatic films obtained by the method consisting essentially of continuously printing over at least part of the surface of at least one side of a film of synthetic polymer with aluminum powder by suspending in solvent a composition consisting essentially of aluminum powder and a polyamide resin, setting said suspension down onto said film, and permitting said solvent to evaporate, said synthetic polymer of said film being selected from the group consisting of low density polyethylene, high density polyethylene, polypropylene, and polybutene.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
102 words
A method for preventing the virus degeneration of plants by virus-carrying aphides comprising mulching plants exposed to such degeneration with antistatic films obtained by the method consisting essentially of continuously printing over at least part of the surface of at least one side of a film of synthetic polymer with aluminum powder by suspending in solvent a composition consisting essentially of aluminum powder and a polyamide resin, setting said suspension down onto said film, and permitting said solvent to evaporate, said synthetic polymer of said film being selected from the group consisting of low density polyethylene, high density polyethylene, polypropylene, and polybutene.
Claim 3
Independent Claim
