Productivity and Emissions in Italian Agriculture: A Farm‐Level Efficiency Analysis

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Achieving the European Union climate‐neutrality objectives requires metrics that jointly assess farm productivity and greenhouse gas emissions at a granular level. However, harmonized evidence for benchmarking the productivity–emissions nexus of Italian farms remains limited.

Building Agricultural Knowledge of Soil-biodegradable Plastic Mulch

HortTechnology, 2023
The use of polyethylene (PE) mulch causes environmental pollution where incomplete removal leaves fragments susceptible to escape to ecosystems, such as the ocean, where they can cause ecological harm. PE mulch is generally nonrecyclable due to contamination with soil and crop debris after use, leaving growers with few end-of-life ...

GROWING OF THE ORGANIC POTATOES WITH USING OF THE MULCHING MATERIALS [PDF]

, 2010
Mulching which has become more popular lately is an important way of soil protection in the plant production. Mulching massively reduces soil erosion [DÖRING ET AL., 2005], virus vector in seed potatoes [DÖRING ET AL., 2006] and it may also act as a tool

How 1st‐Tier Suppliers Respond to Green Public Procurement Policies: An Empirical Analysis

Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article analyses how 1st‐tier suppliers to public organisations respond operationally to Green Public Procurement (GPP) policies. Through a multiple case study of 12 Italian firms operating in different sectors, we develop a classification of suppliers' responses, identifying two interrelated macro‐types: internal operations realignment ...

Black Degradable Plastic Mulch Evaluation

, 2012
Black polyethylene plastic mulch provides many benefits to fruit and vegetable producers. It increases earliness by increasing spring soil temperatures, conserves soil moisture, and reduces pesticide usage by decreasing weed and disease pressure. Furthermore, during seasons of high precipitation, it protects fertilizer from leaching below the root zone.

Photodegradable Plastic Mulch in Central New York

HortScience, 1984
Abstract A “sandwich technique” was designed to study the degradation of plastic mulch film in the soil. Polyethylene films, formulated to several levels of photodegradability, and regular (nonphotodegradable) films were exposed to natural solar radiation (sunlight) for 30 days, removed, buried and covered with 6 inches of soil.
