PLASTICULTURE: HOW MUCH BENEFICIAL

2023
The 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, 2018
AbstractField 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.

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
