Abstract:Using garlic as material,the physical and degradation characteristics of 4 kinds of biodegrada-ble plastic films were studied.And the yield and biomass of garlic were measured.The results showed that there were significant differences in the physical and degradation characteristics of 4 kinds of biodegradable plastic films,which affected the garlic yield and biomass significantly.The degradation of SND1 and SND2 were faster,which couldn’t meet the need of garlic,and the garlic yield and biomass were lower than those of control.Although SND3 had no visible degradation before harvest,the garlic yield and biomass were signifi-cantly lower than those of control mainly because of the lower light transmittance and higher haze.With no vis-ible degradation before harvest and approximate light transmittance and haze with control,the yield and bio-mass of SND4 were slightly higher than those of control.In conclusion,the biodegradation film with suitable physical and degradation characteristics,which could achieve degradation and function synchronously,could not only increase the garlic yield,but also decrease the bad effects on environment.
