Efficient use of nitrogen is needed to protect environment and health, says FAO

,
Nitrogen, the UN agency remarks, is an essential element but also a contaminant. Its intake to the soil is likely to quadruple by the end of the 21st century
Tra i bioprodotti, i teli pacciamanti sono tra quelli i cui vantaggi sono più tangibili: diversamente da quelli prodotti in plastica fossile, a fine coltura si possono incorporare nel terreno con una semplice trinciatura e non hanno costi di lavaggio, rimozione e smaltimento.

‘Biodegradable plastics do not impact ecosystems’
