What the FAO Says About Plastics in Agricultural Soil
The FAO’s global assessment examines soil plastic accumulation, fragmentation into microplastics, and why Europe banned oxo-degradable plastics.
WHAT ACTUALLY CONTROLS DURABILITY
In compostable mulch, durability is engineered — not measured in mils. Structural stability, surface protection, and worst-case weather resilience determine real field performance.
Why Some Compostable Mulch Fails After Heavy Rain
Heavy rainfall exposes weaknesses in poorly formulated compostable mulch. Field durability depends on polymer design, stabilization, and resistance to moisture stress — not thickness alone.
What Happens to Plastic Mulch After Harvest?
Most growers remove plastic mulch after harvest. But what really happens to the fragments left behind? The answer matters for soil health and long-term field performance.
