Description

The research aims to develop the agricultural application of innovative polymeric materials that incorporate substances to be released into the soil.The research involves studying the physical characteristics required of polymeric materials for soil mulching and their correlation with exposure to atmospheric agents and environmental parameters during use.The experimental research involves field tests on the functionality, with particular attention to the physical characteristics, of mulches created using a spray technique based on biodegradable polymeric materials. Laboratory tests will be conducted on the physical parameters of the materials, which are important for their soil mulching function.
