Remote Sensing as a Tool for Monitoring Plasticulture in Agricultural Landscapes

International Journal of Remote Sensing, 2007
Agricultural landscapes are changing their appearance with the increasing use of man-made plastic materials in covered agriculture (plasticulture) all around the world. As these affect the landscape visually, increase pollution and decrease local biodiversity, better monitoring and planning of their uses and areas are needed. Using a field spectrometer

Plasticulture Functionalized With Pesticides for Sustainable Crop Protection: A Systematic Review

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry
Crops face significant biotic stress from animal pests, pathogens, and weeds, driving widespread use of pesticides and plasticulture. While synthetic pesticides harm the environment and human health, biopesticides have limited stability. Plasticulture is not fully insect-proof and relies on fossil-based polymers.

Plasticulture: economy of resources

Acta Horticulturae, 2019
Plastic in agriculture is essential for farmers, growers and the agriculture production. The plastic allows a better production in quantity and quality, while using less input: water, pesticides, fertilizers, etc. Therefore, agri-plastics has an important contribution for an intensive ecological agriculture (agro-ecology).
