• Benchmarking the Agronomic Performance of Biodegradable Mulches against Polyethylene Mulch Film: A Meta-Analysis (2020, background): “observed increased tomato yield in paper‐based BDM relative to PEM across multiple years and locations (which partially explains the greater variance in paper‐based BDM) [47,52].”
• Appraisal of Biodegradable Mulching Films and Vegetal-Derived Biostimulant Application as Eco-Sustainable Practices for Enhancing Lettuce Crop Performance and Nutritive Value (2020, background): “An increase in marketable yield in the presence of polyethylene and biodegradable (Mater-Bi) films when compared to bare soil was also observed in pumpkin [24], tomato [1,4,25], strawberry [3,26], garlic chives [5], as well as lettuce [27].”
