The utilization of successful plasticulture engineering technology can ideally optimize crop yields and provide both economic and environmental benefits, such as reducing the need for water and fertilizer. This book discusses the myriad important aspects of crop production that utilize plastic, such as micro irrigation, water management, plastic mulch films, protected cultivation and low tunnels, crop covers, canal linings, silage bags, and more. It also examines the latest methods for vertical farming and technological aspects, such as smart agriculture using the internet of things (IOT). The current state of the art, as well as potential future uses for plastics are discussed in addition to the benefits and limitations of plastics applications in agriculture generally.

Features

Illustrates application of plastic in protected cultivation, water management, aquiculture and in high-tech horticulture using innovative technologies to enhance water use efficiency and crop productivity
Presents precision farming for climate-resilient technologies
Includes real-world examples to present practical insights of plastic engineering for climate change mitigation strategies.

Plasticulture Engineering and Technology will serve as a useful resource for students, professionals, and researchers in agriculture and agricultural engineering, hydrology, hydraulics, water resources engineering, irrigation engineering, and environmental science.
