[Soil evaporation under perforated plastic mulch].

Ying yong sheng tai xue bao = The journal of applied ecology, 2006
In arid and semiarid regions of northwestern China, where evaporation exceeds precipitation, perforated plastic mulches are widely used to decrease soil water evaporation. To determine the effects of various perforated plastic mulches on soil water evaporation after irrigation, a soil column experiment was conducted, which consisted of six mulches with

Effects of Plastic Mulch on Potato Growth

2012
Northern China is a major potato production region, and water-saving measures that can enhance both potato yield and quality play an important role in this region due to general water shortages. Plastic mulch has been used as an effective water-saving measure for potato cultivation in China.

Interactions between agricultural mulching plastic debris and pesticides

2020
<div> <p>In semi-arid regions, the use of plastic mulch and pesticides in conventional agriculture is nearly ubiquitous. The use of plastics and pesticides lead both to the release of residues in the soils. The degradation of plastic and pesticide residues in the soil have been previously studied, but not together ...

MECHANICAL PLANTING AND HARVESTING ON PLASTIC MULCHED BEDS

1986
Plastic mulches have many advantages for agriculture; however, their use was limited until compatible mechanized planting methods were developed for mulch. Mechanical methods for transplanting or seeding before or after mulch applications are discussed.

Strawberry Yield over Red versus Black Plastic Mulch

Crop Science, 2000
Plastic mulches are frequently used in raised‐bed culture of strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch) to conserve water, control weeds with less herbicides, and keep fruit clean. The most commonly used plastic mulch color is black. It was hypothesized that a specially formulated red plastic mulch that reflects a higher far‐red to red photon ratio could ...

Biodegradation of plastic materials used for mulching

2000
L'utilisation des plastiques en agriculture a pris une extension considérable ces 50 dernières années. Malheureusement, face à ce développement, aucune filière efficace de ramassage ou de recyclage n'a été mise en place, et les agriculteurs sont confrontés à des problèmes aigus d'élimination.
