Evaluation of June-Bearing Strawberry Cultivars under a Two-Year Plasticulture System Using Black and White Mulch Colors in the Lower Midwest

HortTechnology
Strawberries (Fragaria ×ananassa) are commonly grown on fruit and vegetable farms in the lower Midwest. Farmers are interested in exploring plasticulture strawberry production with more than 1 year of harvest to offset the high cost of planting materials.

UV light and abrasion’s role in degrading plasticulture films

PLOS One
Plastic films play a crucial role in agriculture by enhancing growing conditions and protecting crops through various applications, such as mulch films or greenhouses. However, the degradation of plasticulture films may occur in the field, generating secondary microplastics and soil pollution. Investigating the degradation of agricultural plastic films
