Development of Polymer-based Mulch Films for Disease Suppression
Abstract: Gerbera jamesonii [Gerbera daisy) is a popular flowering plant susceptible to various microbial diseases. This paper explores disease control strategies for gerberas, focusing on the potential of novel polymer-based mulch films. Conventional mulching practices offer benefits in gerbera cultivation, including weed suppression that helps control pathogens. However, limitations associated with traditional mulch materials necessitate exploring alternative solutions. This study investigates the development of biodegradable polymer-based mulch films specifically designed for …
