Adaptable agriculture Explanation: Agricultural techniques adaptable to be used in various climatic conditions. (This is an educated guess based on the definition of "plastic" as being "pliable" "abaptable" "malleable", since you give little context) Regards. Luis Luis |

plasticulture Explanation: it's almost the same word in English, and a n increasingly commonly used one. My web search on "plasticulture" + "plant" turned up almost 800 hits. Among the ones I looked at, the following type of language is common: "... Plasticulture: Experts say it's the future of vegetable production..." and "...a multidisciplinary study of plasticulture in vegetable production..."
