The use of novel liquid mulching formulations (hydromulching) increases yield and quality of artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus) by improving soil physicochemical and biological properties
Abstract:Purpose: We hypothesized that organic liquid mulching formulations called hydromulching can be used in sustainable agricultural production through its direct influence on soil physicochemical and biological properties to improve crop yield and quality. Methods: Artichoke plants were grown using three hydromulching treatments, rice hulls (RH), wheat straw (WS), and mushroom substrate (MS), and two control treatments, soil covered with polyethylene (PE) and bare soil (BS). Soil quality-related parameters and art… Show more
