The Economics of Adopting Biodegradable Plastic Mulch Films
, 2018 Biodegradable plastic mulch films (BDM) are an alternative to conventional polyethylene (PE) mulches. Like PE mulches, BDM offer multiple benefits for specialty crop production such as weed control, soil moisture conservation and yield improvement, with the additional benefit of being 100 percent biodegradable, with no formation of toxic residues ...

New Zealand Journal of Crop and Horticultural Science, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2026.Dragon fruit (pitaya; Hylocereus undatus) is a promising, new high‐value crop in New Zealand. The large nocturnal flowers open for one night and close early in the morning the following day over a 3‐ to 6‐month long flowering period. In dragon fruit's native range, hawkmoths and bats are key nocturnal pollinators, and honey bees visit flowers during ...

Wheat Yield Response to Organic Fertilisers Depends on Drought Timing in a Sandy Soil
Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.ABSTRACT Organic fertilisers enhance crop drought resilience by improving nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) use efficiency and soil‐plant water relations. However, the underlying mechanisms governing their effects across different drought timings in wheat under sandy soils remain unclear.
