PLASTICULTURE: HOW MUCH BENEFICIAL
2023The use of various forms of plastic products in the agriculture is becoming popular for the improved crop production and reduces the use of chemicals. Plastic in the agriculture heats up and acts like a warming blanket above the ground. So the use of plastic above the ground increases the net amount of carbon dioxide that the plants take.

Effect of Bicyclopyrone on Triploid Watermelon in Plasticulture
Weed Technology, 2018AbstractField studies were conducted to determine watermelon tolerance and yield response when treated with bicyclopyrone preplant (PREPLANT), POST, and POST-directed (POST-DIR). Treatments consisted of two rates of bicyclopyrone (37.5 and 50 g ai ha–1), fomesafen (175 g ai ha–1), S-metolachlor (802 g ai ha–1), and a nontreated check.

Scheduling Drip Irrigation for Bell Pepper Grown with Plasticulture
Journal of Plant Nutrition, 2006ABSTRACT Producing economical yields of bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) while conserving water and nutrients requires an integrated approach to fertilization and irrigation. Detailed fertilization recommendations exist for bell peppers grown in Florida, but current irrigation recommendations are based on historical weather data and year-to-year ...

Integration of a Brassicaceae Cover Crop with Herbicides in Plasticulture Tomato
Weed Technology, 2009Weeds are a major constraint in tomato production, especially in the absence of methyl bromide. Field trials were conducted in 2006 and 2007 to evaluate the integrated use of a mustard ‘Caliente’ (a blend of brown and white mustard) cover crop with one-half and full rate PRE/POST herbicides for weed control and crop response in polyethylene-mulched ...
