Soil mulching is very important practice in field production. Different mulching materials can be use for different agricultural and horticultural species in different climatic environments. The main role of organic mulches is to protect the soil surface from the influence on unfavorable factors and to improve the growing conditions for the crop plants. Mulching reduces unproductive evaporation from the soil surface. Organic mulch also reduces soil wind and water erosion by protection the soil surface and reduces nutrient loss by runoff and leaching. Mulches conserve soil moisture, help maintain stable soil temperature, increase soil porosity and suppress weed growth. The main advantages of organic mulches are organic matter and nutrient supply not only for plants but also for soil organism. Mulch improves physical, chemical and biological properties of soil and ultimately enhances the growth and yield of crops. The purpose of this review is to comparative analysis of the scientific research on the benefits and drawbacks of mulches used in vegetable cultivation.

Mulczowanie gleby jest bardzo ważnym zabiegiem w uprawie polowej. Różne materiały mulczuj ące mogą być użyte dla różnych gatunków roślin rolniczych i ogrodniczych w różnych warunkach klimatycznych. Głównym zadaniem ściółek organicznych jest ochrona powierzchni gleby przed wpływem niekorzystnych czynników oraz poprawa warunków wzrostu roślin uprawnych. Mulczowanie zmniejsza bezproduktywne parowanie z powierzchni gleby. Mulcz organiczny zmniejsza także erozję wodną i wietrzną gleby poprzez ochronę jej powierzchni oraz straty składników pokarmowych na skutek wypłukiwania. ściółki zatrzymują wilgoć w glebie, pomagają utrzymać stałą temperaturę gleby, zwiększają jej porowatość i ograniczaj ą wzrost chwastów. Główną zaletą ściółek organicznych jest dostarczanie materii organicznej i składników odżywczych nie tylko roślinom, ale także organizmom glebowym. Mulcz poprzez poprawę biologicznych, chemicznych i fizycznych właściwości gleby przyspiesza wzrost roślin oraz zwiększa plon. Celem pracy jest analiza porównawcza badań naukowych na temat korzyści i wad ściółek organicznych stosowanych w uprawie warzyw.
