Strawberry Growth and Development in an Annual Plasticulture System [PDF]

HortScience, 2001
The growth and development of three strawberry cultivars commonly grown in a plasticulture system were documented. Strawberry plants were harvested monthly and divided by roots, crown, leaves, flowers, and fruit and then dried in an oven. The dry matter production and resource allocation proceeded along a predictable pattern of development.

Detection and identification of TMV infecting tomato under protected cultivation in Paraná State

Brazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2008
During an inspection in plastic houses in Sapopema, Paraná, 90% of tomato plants showed leaf abnormalities, probably associated with herbicide toxity. However, virus like symptoms developed in selected hosts after mechanical inoculatation.

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 ...

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.

The Invisible White Micropollutants of Green Agriculture: 10 Essential Scientific Questions for the Future of Agricultural Microplastic Research

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.
