Plasticulture banana pepper response to clomazone applied pretransplanting
Weed Technology, 2023 AbstractFew published studies exist documenting banana pepper tolerance to clomazone. Therefore, field trials were conducted in 2022 at two Indiana locations [Meigs Horticulture Research Farm and the Pinney Purdue Agricultural Center (PPAC)] to evaluate crop safety in plasticulture-grown banana pepper.

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.
