Cover Crop Performance between Plastic-mulched Beds: Impacts on Weeds and Soil Resources
HortScience, 2020 Growing a cover crop living mulch between plastic-mulched beds may reduce soil erosion while providing other agroecosystem services. However, information regarding the relative differences among living mulch species to maximize services and minimize ...

Evaluating precision sprayers for targeted weed management in corn and soybean
Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2025.Abstract A targeted application of herbicides in commercial crop fields is desirable for reducing chemical inputs and promoting environmental sustainability. Precision sprayers, equipped with cameras and sensors, detect weeds in real‐time and apply herbicides only where needed.

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 7, Issue 4, December 2024.Abstract Microplastics (MPs), formed from the physical breakdown of larger plastics, have been found across a variety of ecosystems. Much research has been done on the effects of MPs in aquatic ecosystems, but fewer studies have explored their effects in terrestrial environments, particularly in agroecosystems where modern practices contribute strongly

Effects of Living Mulch and Fertilizer on the Performance of Broccoli in Plasticulture [PDF]
HortScience, 2015 Living mulch systems allow cover crops to be grown during periods of cash crop production, thereby extending the duration of cover crop growth and associated beneficial agroecosystem services. However, living mulches may also result in agroecosystem disservices such as reduced cash crop yields if the living mulch competes with the ...
