Stand Establishment in Plasticulture Systems [PDF]
HortTechnology, 1996 Plasticulture enables growers to optimize establishment of vegetable and fruit crops under nonoptimum conditions and in locations with short growing seasons. Generally, warm-season crops such as muskmelon, pepper, and tomato, are established from transplants to decrease the time to maturity in the field.

Converting from seepage irrigation to plasticulture for vegetable production: A case study
EDIS, 2014 Cabbage production in Florida has been dominated by the use of seepage or sub-irrigation, because it is inexpensive to maintain and simple to use, but it can require vast quantities of water to be pumped from the aquifer in low rainfall years ...

A Review Paper on Plasticulture
International Journal of Innovative Research in Engineering & Management, 2022 In the previous decade, plastics have achieved tremendous advances in horticulture. Because of its structural integrity, chemical properties, and versatility, plastic has become a prominent material in our everyday lives. Drip irrigation, plastic mulches, packaging and storage for better product quality, and post-harvest management are just a few of ...

Plasticulture for Vegetable Production: A Review
International Journal of Innovative Research in Engineering & Management, 2022 Plasticulture is a method of producing crops in which the use of plastic polymers provides a major advantage. Plasticulture arose from of the late 1930s research and innovation of polyethylene polymer, which was later commercialized as plastic films, mulches, as well as drip-irrigation tubes but also tape in the early 1950s.

The evolution of symbiotic innovation, water, and agricultural supply chains
Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, Volume 45, Issue 3, Page 1592-1603, September 2023., 2023 Abstract The water literature has mainly investigated the diversion and distribution of water from the source to the end users or the utilization of water at the farm level in crop production. This paper presents a supply chain perspective that links the innovation supply chain of water delivery and irrigation with the complete water supply chain to ...
