Popis: | Photodegradable plastic, which contains nickel and dithiocarbamates as active ingredients, controls weeds and conserves moisture during the growth of vegetables after which it may be plowed into the soil to decompose. Lettuce and green peppers were grown in the greenhouse and field in soil into which was incorporated photodegraded plastic at rates equivalent of up to 30 years of repetitive annual plastic use. Dithiocarbamate residues were not detectable in the harvested crop or soil samples. Residues of nickel showed no consistent differences between treated or control crop and soil samples. |
