Appropriate ridge-furrow ratio can enhance crop production and resource use efficiency by improving soil moisture and thermal condition in a semi-arid region

, 2020
The plastic-mulched ridge and furrow rainwater harvesting (PRFRH) system improves precipitation utilization and yield in semi-arid regions. For densely planted crops such as winter wheat, however, the ridges reduce planting area.
