Plasticulture: economy of resources
Acta Horticulturae, 2019Plastic 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).

Although the main objective of plasticulture in horticultural crop production is to reach harvest earlier and improve productivity, mechanical control of pests is another, albeit less widespread, application. Two techniques are employed: mulches and floating row covers.

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.

Sprayable Polysaccharide‐Based Fiber Reinforced Emulsions for Environmentally Sound Plasticulture
Macromolecular Symposia, 2006AbstractThe 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 farmer is difficult; these films being thinner and damaged, their removal through automatic

PLASTICULTURE: HOW MUCH BENEFICIAL
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.openaire +1 more source
AN OVERVIEW OF PLASTICULTURE AND ITS DEVELOPMENT IN CHINA
Acta Horticulturae, 2014Once humankind appeared on the earth, agriculture started. As our ancestors became wiser and more civilized, agriculture was getting more developed. Since thousands years have been passed, the world has been changed greatly. The meaning of agriculture and its concept is quite different than ever before.
