“…The first reports of the use of plastics in agriculture date back to 1959, describing the use of polyethylene bags instead of pots for planting seedlings beet (Clelj, 1959). According to the Association of Plastic Manufacturers in Europe, (2019), of the total production of 359 M t produced in 2018, 1.75 M t were destined for agricultural use (PlasticsEurope, 2019).…”

Purpose: To identify, analyze, and synthesize the published research about the developments to replace synthetic plastics used in agriculture; to guide researchers and practitioners from various knowledge areas to identify gaps of information, the most prolific authors, and the influential scientific papers that have been published.Research Method: This paper presents a systematic review with a bibliometric analysis; the search was made on the SCOPUS® database up to November 2020. Subsequently, a selection of articles according to the criteria of inclusion and exclusion was carried out and, using bibliometric indicators, VOSviewer v. 1.6.15 and bibliometrix v. 3.0 software, information were obtained to answer the research questions. Findings: Results indicate low scientific production worldwide, only six articles per year as of 2005.Contributions concentrate on a few researchers and developments such as plastic film, mulching, and controlled release materials, and for raw materials polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), Polylactic acid (PLA), and Chitosan. The most prolific country is China, with only 13 articles. Siwek P. is the researcher with the most outstanding contribution and permanence with four documents. Dharmalingam S.; Hayes D.G. and, Wadsworth L.C. are the most prolific authors in the field in terms of the H index. Research Limitations:The analysis was done only employing the SCOPUS database, moreover the worldwide production of articles is changing every day.Originality/value: This type of review gives an overview of the knowledge and the development of a topic; this evidence can be helpful to establish a groundbreaking for future investigations.

The breeding research of the Institute and the Foundation for Agricultural Plant Breeding has been pictured on plates which are hung on show in a temporary showroom in the months of May, June and July. For that purgose the threshing floor of the Institute is fitted up as a reception room during these months. New plates are added every year: with small costs and without too much trouble an attractive show is soon made.The writer gives a description of this exhibition in 1960, together with a survey of the working programmes of the institutes.In the references a number of articles are mentioned describing the work of the two institutes.
