Biodegradable plastic mulch films increase yield and promote nitrogen use efficiency in organic horticulture
Plastic film mulches (PFM) are used extensively due to their ability to increase yield and suppress weed emergence. Their effects on plant-soil-microbial interactions, however, are less well understood. Organic systems rely on the supply of nutrients from organic sources (e.g., manures and fertility...
