Strawberry Living Mulch in an Organic Vineyard [PDF]

Agronomy, 2021
A living mulch system can provide beneficial biodiversified phytocoenoses and spatial competition against weeds; however, it may also compete for water with the main cultivated crop under Mediterranean climate conditions. Strawberries employed as living mulch in a rain-fed hill vineyard of central Italy were evaluated for two years through a ...

Hydrological characteristics of different organic materials mulches

Scientific Reports, 2023
AbstractThe study aims to find the properties of three organic mulch varieties and their effects on soil moisture and crop growth. Three organic mulches: newspaper, grass, and bran were selected as the research objects, and were analyzed through double-ring infiltration and water loss tests so that water permeability and water-holding capacity of the ...

175 Synthetic Mulches Increase Strawberry Yields Compared with Organic Mulches [PDF]

HortScience, 1999
Affluent “peri-urban” populations in some areas have created new markets for small specialized growers. Although intensive growing systems using drip irrigation and fertigation with new varieties can increase yields, there is also a desire to use systems that are viewed as more sustainable.

Organic mulch materials improve soil moisture in vineyard

Soil Science Annual, 2021
The research paper deals with an evaluation of the effect of three types of organic mulch materials - cereal straw, wood chips and compost on soil moisture maintenance in vineyard in the Czech Republic in years 2017–2019. For comparison, the variant without mulch coverage “black fallow” was also monitored (control variant).

Trichloroethylene (TCE) adsorption using sustainable organic mulch

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2010
Soluble substrates (electron donors) have been commonly injected into chlorinated solvent contaminated plume to stimulate reductive dechlorination. Recently, different types of organic mulches with economic advantages and sustainable benefits have received much attention as new supporting materials that can provide long term sources of electron donors ...
