Sampling and degradation of biodegradable plastic and paper mulches in field after tillage incorporation

S Ghimire, M Flury, EJ Scheenstra, CA Miles - Science of the Total …, 2020 - Elsevier
Plastic biodegradable mulch (plastic BDM) is tilled after use, but there is concern about
incomplete degradation and potential impact on subsequent crops, and we lack a reliable
method to measure mulch degradation post soil-incorporation. We conducted two field
experiments to (i) develop a sampling method to estimate the amount of mulch (fragments
size> 2.36 mm) in the field post soil-incorporation, and (ii) assess the amount of BDM in the
soil after four consecutive years of mulch incorporation. In Expt. 1, we used the quartering …
