Chapter 6. Mulching

open access: yesEDIS, 2006
Polyethylene mulch has been used for commercial vegetable production in Florida for more than 30 years (Fig. 6-1). There are approximately 70,000 acres of mulched vegetables in Florida, ranking it near the top in the U.S. for this production method. Almost all of the tomato and strawberry production is on mulch.

Integrated Soil Salinisation Management Strategies in Agriculture

open access: yesModern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 1, June 2026.
This review synthesises integrated water, agronomic, and biochemical strategies for managing soil salinisation, presenting a decision framework for selecting cost‐effective amendments based on initial soil assessment and long‐term sustainability monitoring. ABSTRACT Soil salinisation poses a global threat to agricultural sustainability, affecting about

Cover Crop Productivity in Contrasting Growing Conditions and Influence on the Subsequent Crop [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
In arable systems, cover crops provide multiple ecosystem services involved in soil protection and fertility. They can efficiently compete against weeds, control erosion or recycle nutrients.

Weed Management Influences the Accumulation of Organic Matter in the Soil and Productivity in Coffee Farming

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 2, June 2026.
The management of weeds can influence organic matter (OM) and organic carbon (OC) levels, impacting the productivity and sustainability of coffee plantations. This study aimed to evaluate OM and OC levels in coffee soils under different weed management practices and their influence on coffee tree physiology and productivity. The experiment featured six

Organic production of strawberries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Organic fruit and vegetable growing is increasing world-wide, but knowledge concerning best practice is generally empirical rather than field-based. This thesis extends knowledge concerning best practice in Swedish organic strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa

Short‐Term Response of Soil Health Indicators to Cover Crop Management in Small‐Scale Vegetable Cropping Systems

open access: yesJournal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT A 2‐year field experiment (2022–2023) was conducted on a clay loam soil in Quebec, Canada, to evaluate the short‐term effect of spring‐seeded cover crop termination methods on soil health indicators. A mixture of field peas (Pisum sativum L.) with oats (Avena sativa L.) in 2022 and with faba beans (Vicia faba L.) in 2023 was seeded in early ...

Temperature‐Driven Silicate Weathering Feedbacks Terminated the Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Continental hydroclimate dynamics and its responses during the Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum (MECO, ∼40 Ma) remain largely unexplored. Here, we present high‐resolution multi‐proxy records from four East Asian lake basins that demonstrate precipitation, chemical weathering, and terrestrial input underwent multi‐phase changes during the MECO ...

Weed Control in Annual Strawberries Grown with Plastic Mulch: Efficacy, Phytotoxicity, and Soil Persistence Studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
Cool soil temperatures in Alaska are a limiting factor for many crops. Clear plastic mulch has been shown to increase soil temperatures, and use of this mulch has allowed the production of many warm season crops farther north than they could otherwise ...
