“…Since we found reduced soil moisture under PC, this might explain the contrasting results. On the other hand and in agreement with our results, some studies reported that PC has no impact on SOC or even increase the SOC under PC [16,43,66]. As PC increases aboveground and belowground biomass [66,70,72], it was argued that increased biomass productivity under PC can balance out SOC losses caused by accelerated decomposition [19].…”

Plastic mulching (PM) has become a widely applied agricultural practice to optimize plant growth. However, it is still under debate how PM influences biogeochemical soil processes and thus important factors of soil quality, such as soil organic matter (SOM) composition, aggregate stability and microbial biomass. Our objective was to identify the impact of PM on biogeochemical soil processes. Therefore, we compared a plastic-covered strawberry cultivation system (PC) with an uncovered system (NC) in three soil layers (0–10, 10–30 and 30–60 cm) at three dates during a 4-month period of strawberry establishment from their transplanting in summer to the beginning of winter. The PC shifted the microclimate of the soil towards higher temperatures but lower moistures in the 0–35 cm soil layer compared to uncovered soil. Predominantly in the surface layer, the PC reduces leaching processes, which can improve nutrient (fertilizer) use efficiency. PC increased SOM and shifted SOM to a more stable SOM. The higher SOM under PC despite larger microbial biomass and elevated temperatures, indicate that belowground biomass inputs compensate the potential SOM losses by an enhanced SOM decomposition under PC. We demonstrated that PC influenced soil processes already within the 4-month period of strawberry establishment, partially down to the 30–60 soil layer. Further, long-term studies are required to estimate the influence of multi-annual PM application on biogeochemical soil processes and on soil quality.

“…Despite the soil amendment with pine bark compost, organic C in cultivated soil (10.03 g kg −1 ) was low for optimal blueberry growth (optimal value of 23 g C kg −1 [23]), even lower than the concentration in the CK soil (Table 1). Domagała-Świątkiewicz and Siwek [24] observed an opposite result in soil for raspberry cultivation covered with a…”

Numerous plastic products are used in agriculture, including containers, packaging, tunnels, drip irrigation tubing, and mulches. Large amounts of plastics are used as mulches on the soil surface for vegetable and fruit production (tomato, cucumber, watermelon, strawberry, and vine) to reduce weed competition, increase water and fertilizer use efficiency, and enhance crop yield. Portugal uses around 4500 t/year of polyethylene to cover approximately 23,000 ha of agricultural land, and only a small amount is recovered for recycling or secondary uses because of issues of contamination with the soil, vegetation, pesticides, and fertilizers. Cleaning and decontaminating polyethylene mulch are costly, and commercial technology is often not accessible or economical. Most plastic mulch is composed of polyethylene that degrades slowly and produces a large quantity of residues in the soil, with a negative impact on the environment. In the present study, the effects of long-term cultivation of blueberry using green 100% high-density polyethylene mulch in the south Portugal were evaluated for soil chemical and biological changes. High-density green plastic mulch did not contaminate the topsoil with di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, and heavy metals, buttotal nitrogen, organic carbon concentrations, electric conductivity, and microbial activity were significantly reduced in the planting row compared with the bare soil without mulching. Furthermore, the presence of plastic mulch did not negatively affect the presence of nematodes, and the number of Rhabditida (bacterial feeders) increased in the planting and covered row.

“…(2018), penggunaan mulsa plastik menjadi salah satu strategi irigasi dengan berbagai kelebihan daripada tanpa mulsa seperti efisien dalam penggunaan air, menjaga temperature tanah, dan secara signifikan meningkatkan hasil panen. Penggunaan mulsa plastik mampu meminimalisir perubahan agregat kecil pada tanah sehingga mengurangi kepadatan dan juga mengurangi dampak buruk dari presipitasi air hujan (Domagała-Świątkiewicz & Siwek, 2015). Mulsa jerami memiliki kemampuan untuk menambah kandungan hara di dalam tanah seperti nitrogen pada 4 bulan sejak pertama kali aplikasi (Fang et al, 2007…”

This study wants to find the best fertilizing method and kind of mulch for better growth and yield of stevia. The research was conducted at October-February in PT. Daya Santosa Rekayasa, Karangploso, Malang at an altitude ±750 MAMSL. The research uses Split Plot Design using RBSL model with two factors and four replications. The first factor which is also used for the main plot is fertilizing method using fertigation (A1) and conventional method (A2). Second factor also uses as the subplot are black white plastic mulch (U1), rice straw mulch (U2), and without mulch (U3). Nondestructive variable was height of the plant and number of leaves. Destructive variable was observed in harvest time such as fresh weight of plant, fresh weight of yield, dry yield, root length, chlorophyll amount, and sucrose rate. The data will be tested using ANOVA and T-Test, if there is a significant difference, then will be processed again using Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT). The result showed that there is no significant interaction between the fertilizing methods and types of mulches in stevia. Fertigation and conventional method give no significant difference in growth or yield stevia but fertigation gives better result in every variable. Types of mulches show that black white plastic mulches give the best impact to height of the plant, number of leaves, fresh weight of plant, fresh weight of yield, dry yield, root length, and chlorophyll amount with fresh yield 11,4 gr each plant and also dry yield 2,27 gr.
