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.

Windbreaks: An Important Component in a Plasticulture System [PDF]
HortTechnology, 1996 Windbreaks reduce wind speed and modify the microclimate in sheltered areas. Many producers use wind barriers in their production systems, but few producers recognize all of the benefits available or understand the principles involved in windbreak function and design.
