Plastic mulches reduce the amount of water lost from the soil due to evaporation. This means less water will be needed for irrigation. Plastic mulches also aid in evenly distributing moisture to the soil which reduces plant stress.

Plastic mulches prevent sunlight from reaching the soil which can inhibit most annual and perennial weeds.
