Integration of Halosulfuron and Anaerobic Soil Disinfestation for Weed Control in Tomato
HortTechnology, 2022 Anaerobic soil disinfestation (ASD) is a preplant pest management technique that involves amending the soil with a labile carbon source, irrigating the soil to stimulate decomposition, and then covering the soil with polyethylene film (polyfilm) to limit

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.
