Plasticulture

Careful innovation and novel use of appropriate plasticulture can revolutionize Indian agriculture allowing the country to enter into high-tech areas of development.

This technology is already in use in plasticulture throughout the world but legislation will in the future limit the use of materials that accumulate in soil or lead to the generation of long-term toxic products in the soil.

Most strawberries are soil grown in various configurations, under plasticulture (Pitts et al., 1998) or straw mulch.
