Toward Plastic‐Free Vineyards: The Role of Bioplastics in Sustainable Viticulture—A Review
Polymers for Advanced Technologies, Volume 37, Issue 9, September 2026.ABSTRACT Agricultural value chains consume more than 12.5 Mt. of plastics annually, and vineyard systems are a notable source of short‐lived plastic waste. In viticulture, conventional plastics improve agricultural efficiency, crop protection, and wine quality, but their widespread use raises environmental and health concerns.

Fumigation and Solarization Practice in Plasticulture Systems [PDF]
HortTechnology, 1996 Soil disinfestation strategies for intensive vegetable crop production, which have relied heavily on chemical fumigants for the past 40 years, are now undergoing rapid change. The principal driving force of change has been governmental regulatory action to phase out chemicals with properties deemed to be hazardous to the environment and/or public ...

Modern Agriculture, Volume 4, Issue 1, June 2026.Intensive field application of agricultural plastic mulch films leads to widespread soil accumulation of weathered microplastics and nanoplastics. Although these particles alter soil functions and modulate co‐occurring pollutant migration, the underlying interfacial and biogeochemical mechanisms remain largely unclear.
