EVERY DAY THE OLD CROP STAYS, THE NEXT ONE LOSES
Why strawberry beds demand mulching
Australian strawberry production runs on annual or biennial cycles. Each season ends with spent plants, plastic mulch film, and accumulated disease pressure on the same beds.
Crown rot (Phytophthora cactorum) and Botrytis overwinter on dead plant material. Plastic mulch film tangles in standard slashers and ties up planting equipment.

Plant + plastic in one pass
The TP and TPS shred spent plants and embedded plastic film together. Compact frames suit raised beds and tunnel layouts. The same machine prepares the bed for fumigation and replanting.
Disease pressure broken between cycles
Crown rot persists in soil and dead plant tissue. Botrytis sclerotia overwinter in spent canopies. Both pathogens carry into the next planting unless residue is destroyed.
Mechanical destruction of spent plants — combined with bed fumigation — breaks the inoculum cycle between seasons.

Soft material at high speed
Strawberry plants are soft and herbaceous. The TP and TPS process the material at high ground speed across rows.
Faster turnaround between cycles. Beds ready for replanting weeks earlier than slasher-and-rake operations.
