Effect of biodegradable film mulching on crop yield, soil microbial and enzymatic activities, and optimal levels of irrigation and nitrogen fertilizer for the Zea mays crops in arid region.

Science of the Total Environment, 2021
Biodegradable film mulching (BM) is considered as the best alternative to plastic film mulching (PM) since it can prevent pollution caused due to plastic residues. However, the differences in soil microbial biomass and enzymatic activities between BM and

The effects of plastic film mulching and straw mulching on licorice root yield and soil organic carbon content in a dryland farming.

Science of the Total Environment, 2022
The increasing worldwide demand for traditional herbs has been met by growing cultivated herbs. It is undoubtedly very important to seek a reasonable cultivation mode for the yield, quality and long-term production stability of traditional herbs. In this

A Study on the Liquid Mulching Film of Lignin

Advanced Materials Research, 2012
Liquid mulching film was prepared with technical gramineae lignin from waste pulping liquid via hydroxymethylation and then cross-linking reaction with urea or aromatic ring of lignin. Results showed the amount of lignin added had an influence on the property, viscosity and water resistance of liquid film material. This influence was little when lignin

Biodegradable film mulching increases soil microbial network complexity and decreases nitrogen-cycling gene abundance.

Science of the Total Environment
Biodegradable plastic films have emerged as a substitute for conventional plastic films. Nevertheless, responses of plant-associated microbiomes to the application of biodegradable film mulching at field scale have received little attention.

A comprehensive evaluation of influencing factors of neonicotinoid insecticides (NEOs) in farmland soils across China: First focus on film mulching.

Journal of Hazardous Materials
Neonicotinoid insecticide (NEO) residues in agricultural soils have concerning and adverse effects on agroecosystems. Previous studies on the effects of farmland type on NEOs are limited to comparing greenhouses with open fields.

Biochar as a sustainable alternative to carbon black in agricultural mulch films

Environmental Research, 2023
Examples of biochar as an alternative to traditional plastic fillers, like carbon black, are numerous and growing. However, in the agricultural mulch film application, both the polymer and its fillers are pushed to their mechanical limit to obtain an effective product, using the least amount of plastic. Through a combined techno-economic analysis (TEA)

Evapotranspiration partitioning, water use efficiency, and maize yield under different film mulching and nitrogen application in northwest China

, 2021
Exploring the effects of film mulching and nitrogen (N) on crop transpiration ( E t ), soil evaporation ( E s ), crop actual evapotranspiration ( E T a ), and their relationships with yield and water use efficiency (WUE) is vital to improve understanding

Film mulching alters soil properties and increases Cd uptake in Sedum alfredii Hance-oil crop rotation systems.

Environmental Pollution, 2022
Film mulching (FM) is an agronomic measure worldwide, yet its effect on cadmium (Cd) accumulation in plants is unknown. This study investigated the potential for phytoremediation with FM treatment of Cyperus esculentus L. (chufa) and Sedum alfredii Hance

A review on the application of starch in biodegradable mulch films

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules
Traditional plastic mulch films have caused serious environmental problems. The continuous accumulation of non-degradable plastic residues such as polyethylene has led to soil pollution in agriculture and has become one of the major sources of the global plastic pollution crisis.

Effects of film mulching on the physiological and morphological parameters and yield of cucumber under insufficient drip irrigation

Irrigation and Drainage, 2022
A comprehensive study was conducted to analyse the influence of film mulching on the soil water content (SWC), plant physiological and morphological parameters, yield and irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE) of cucumber grown in a greenhouse.
