Hemp yield and cannabinoid concentrations under variable nitrogen and potassium fertilizer rates
Crop Science, Volume 63, Issue 3, Page 1555-1565, May/June 2023., 2023 Abstract With the passing of the 2014 US farm bill, there is more interest in industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L. < 0.3% total tetrahydrocannabinol [THC]) grown for cannabinoid production. However, production recommendations that outline fertilizer requirements of cannabidiol (CBD) hemp do not exist.

A review of phase change materials and heat enhancement methodologies
WIREs Energy and Environment, Volume 12, Issue 3, May/June 2023., 2023 Use of phase change materials in thermal energy storage systems with applications and heat enhancement. Abstract Phase change materials (PCMs) are an efficient alternative to store and release heat at a specific range of temperature. Here PCMs and heat enhancement methodologies for PCM storage are reviewed.

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.

Weed Management in Plasticulture [PDF]
HortTechnology, 1996 This review describes the differences in weed management that must be addressed when plastic culture is added to the production cycle. Three specific areas are addressed: weed management under plastic mulch, weed management between plastic mulch, and weed management under row covers.

INTRODUCTION OF A PLASTICULTURE SYSTEM [PDF]
HortScience, 1992 We instituted a series of on-farm trials to introduce vegetable growers to plasticulture systems. Initial trials were large areas where all combinations of plastic mulch, soil fumigation with methyl bromide, and drip irrigation were compared. As the system developed 0.4 Ha trials were instituted to show system potentials.

Use of Plasticulture for Strawberry Plant Production [PDF]
Small Fruits Review, 2005 Abstract Strawberries are cultivated either in open fields or in greenhouses. Many types of polyethylene films (plastics) are utilized in heating, water conservation, and plant protection, which all affect plant and fruit development. Different types of plastics are also used during field cultivation for overhead covering and protection.

PLASTICULTURE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN QUEBEC REGION [PDF]
HortScience, 1994 In Québec the intensive use of plastic films in field production of vegetables and fruit is evident by increased acreage for this sector of agriculture since 1985. This technique is used particularly for sweet corn, cucurbitaceae and solanaceae, and strawberry production.
