Aquo-bioplastic from rotten bamboo-derived carboxymethyl cellulose for biodegradable mulching.
Plastic mulching has been widely utilized to enhance crop yield but generates persistent plastic residues that threaten agricultural sustainability. To address this challenge, a biodegradable and sprayable liquid mulching of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-based 'aquo-bioplastic' derived from renewable rotten bamboo was...
