Mass spectral characterisation of cyclic oligoesters in a biodegradable mulch film
Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 38, Issue 10, 30 May 2024.Rationale Plastic mulch film manages weed growth and moisture loss on the surface of cropping beds. The chemical components of such plastics include polymer(s), additives and non‐intentionally added substances (NIASs). The unknown chemical nature and behaviours of these constituents require investigation due to their potential to add to the ...

NETmicroplastic in agricultural soil and its impact on soil properties
European Journal of Soil Science, Volume 75, Issue 3, May–June 2024.Abstract Implementing “soil health” means sustainable management of agricultural soils, avoiding toxicities, and sensible use of resources to minimize waste. In this context, the use of plastic in agriculture in form of plastic products, the application of polymers and additives in fertilizers, and plastic input through littering and tyre wear demands ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 6, Issue 2, Page 304-314, March 2024.Agricultural soils are substantial receptors of plastic pollution. Plastic crop covers, a facet of agriplastics, may represent an important contribution to microplastic load in agricultural soils. The authors present a nationwide study of agricultural soils in the United Kingdom, comparing microplastic load between sites where plastic crop covers are ...

Swine Effluent for Tomato in a Plasticulture Production System
HortScience, 1998 Tomato was grown in Fall 1997 with swine effluent or commercial soluble fertilizer in a plasticulture production system. Four cultivars, `Mountain Delight', `Celebrity', `Equinox', and `Sunbeam', were transplanted to raised beds with plastic mulch and drip irrigation. Preplant fertilizer was not applied. Effluent from the Wiley L.

Plasticulture: Diffusion of Plastic Materials in the Agricultural Sector
Materiale Plastice, 2019 For more than half a century, the use of plastic in agriculture has given farmers opportunities for growing fruits and vegetables regardless of the season, and at the same time achieving better quality compared to open-field cultivation. The use of plastics, through various specific techniques, helps reduce the consumption of various resources such as
