Plant Growth, Fruit Yield, and Tomato Leaf Curl Disease of High Tunnel Organic Tomato Affected by Shade Net and Plastic Mulch Color

HortScience
There is an increasing interest in producing organic tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) in high tunnels (HTs) in the southeast United States. HTs are unheated, passively cooled structures that allow tomato growers to harvest high-quality fruit out of season.

Changes in Soil Properties Under the Influence of Microplastics in Plastic and Open Field Production in Three Serbian Valleys

Horticulturae
Crop production in plastic greenhouses is one of the major sources of plastic pollution worldwide. The main hypothesis of this study is that the regular use of mulch film in greenhouses leads to the cumulative accumulation of microplastic particles (MPs)

Soil quality and eggplant productivity in response to different mulching strategies under conservation tillage in organic greenhouse production

Frontiers in Agronomy
IntroductionMulching is a key practice in sustainable agriculture that improves soil quality, conserves resources, and enhances crop performance. However, comparative assessments of different mulch types under organic greenhouse conditions remain limited,

Sprayable polysaccharides based fiber reinforced emulsion for environmentally sound plasticulture

, 2006
The increasing demand for mulching and solarization in agriculture is posing serious problems of environmental concerns. Practically all these films are collected by the farmers and left on the ground borders to be incinerated. The same collection by the
