Abstract/Contents: | Reviews "previous research and presents new data to demonstrate the influence of black plastic mulch on the plant microclimate." Cites that "growing most crops on plastic mulch results in partial canopy cover; consequently, the energy balances of both the mulch and the bare soil between rows affect the exchange of energy (i.e., heat) between the plant and the environment." |
