How about biodegradable and compostable materials for vegetable crops?

Description

The materials used in vegetable production (sails, mulch, string, clips, etc.) raise the question of their environmental impact. Three experimental projects conducted at the Station d'Auray have addressed this issue, and will be presented: TISSUS on biodegradable and compostable materials, BIOMALEG on the repeated burial of biodegradable films in soils, and PLASTIMPACT on the study of the impact of the (bio)degradation of plastic mulches used in the vegetable sector , and their fate.
