Preemergent Liverwort Control by Organic Mulching in Containerized Ornamental Production
HorticulturaeLiverwort (Marchantia polymorpha) competes for resources within containers, resulting in a reduction in the quality and market value of ornamentals. Therefore, the objective of this study was (1) to assess the impact of different mulch types, depths, and

Organic production of strawberries [PDF]
, 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

EDIS, 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.

Enhancing soil health through no‐till, cover crops, and compost: A 5‐year field study
Soil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 3, May/June 2026.Abstract The capacity of soil management systems to conserve and promote soil health is crucial for its sustainability. While the effects of individual soil management practices on soil health receive considerable attention, their combined effects remain understudied. This paper presents the results of a 5‐year field experiment designed to evaluate the

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 28, Issue 2, Page 298-313, May 2026.Out of 136 identified EPNs, only 18 (8 Steinernema and 6 Heterorhabditis) are commercialised globally, highlighting a major gap between discovery and application. High production costs and inconsistent field efficacy are the leading obstacles to the widespread commercialisation of EPN‐based biocontrol products.

CO 2 Fluxes and Soil Responses to Straw and Herbicide in Peanut
Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 7, Page 2927-2944, 30 April 2026.ABSTRACT Peanut cultivation plays an important agronomic role in Brazil, especially in rotation with sugarcane, promoting biological nitrogen fixation and improving soil quality. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that the combined use of sugarcane mulch, peanut cultivation, and herbicide application would affect soil CO₂ fluxes, soil chemical ...
