Purple nutsedge management in tomato plasticulture: A study on the effectiveness of preemergence herbicide S‐metolachlor and its co‐application with fertilizer enhancer and chelated iron

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 7, Issue 3, September 2024.
Abstract Purple nutsedge (Cyperus rotundus L.) poses a significant challenge to Florida tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) producers due to its ability to puncture plastic mulch, resilient tubers, and rapid rhizome proliferation. Preemergence herbicides effectively suppress purple nutsedge in tomatoes under plastic mulch.

Characterization of agronomic performance and sterility in triploid and diploid cannabinoid hemp

Agronomy Journal, Volume 116, Issue 5, Page 2470-2482, September/October 2024.
Abstract Cannabinoid hemp is a dioecious crop where pistillate plants are selectively grown to maximize cannabinoid yields. Errant pollination can reduce pistillate flower yields, cannabinoid concentrations, and lead to unmarketable flowers due to the presence of undesirable seeds. We compared pollen sensitivity and agronomic performance of diploid (2n

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 ...

Reining in plasticulture from land to sea: Pacific Northwest (USA) perspectives on agriculture and aquaculture [PDF]

Plastic use in food production—known as plasticulture—has transformed agriculture and aquaculture globally. Plasticulture gained momentum in the mid-20th century with the development of novel plastic materials, and by 2009, U.S.

A nationwide assessment of microplastic abundance in agricultural soils: The influence of plastic crop covers within the United Kingdom

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 ...
