Description of Tested Tactic
In the present study, a bioactive 2-methyl-4- cholorophenoxyacetic acid/poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (MCPA-PHBV) conjugate blended with biodegradable poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate/polylactide (PBAT/PLA) was developed and used as mulch under controlled condition greenhouse pot experiment with fava bean (Vicia faba) as the nontarget crop species.
Description of Reference System
Bioactive films (BioFlex) containing different concentrations of herbicide MCPA (Table 1) were placed over the soil surface (10 cm diameter in each pot) in mulch film treatments, while no film was used in control pots.
