Optimization of parameters affecting organic mulch test to control erosion

Journal of Environmental Management, 2019
Wind erosion is considered as one of the most influential factors in the destruction of land in arid and deserted areas. There is a weak ecosystem in arid lands which wind erosion can move soil particles. Mulch is a compound that is used nowadays to control wind erosion.

Comparison of Analytical Methods for Organic Matter in Composts and Organic Mulches

Communications in Soil Science and Plant Analysis, 2005
Abstract The conventional dichromate (Walkley and Black), carbon analyzer, and weight loss‐on‐ignition (WLOI) methods are compared for determination of organic matter contents in composts and organic mulches. The objective of this study was to evaluate these three methods for their reliability in determining the organic matter contents of composts and ...

Organic soil mulching impacts on lettuce agronomic traits

Cereal research communications, 2008
Application of undegradable polyethylene (PE) mulches ensures higher yield and earlier harvest in conventional production of lettuce and some kinds of vegetables. Use of polymer materials, however, increases inputs into production and poses a serious environmental pollution problem.

Organic Mulches in the Vegetable Cultivation (A Review)

2014
Soil mulching is very important practice in field production. Different mulching materials can be use for different agricultural and horticultural species in different climatic environments. The main role of organic mulches is to protect the soil surface from the influence on unfavorable factors and to improve the growing conditions for the crop plants.

Organic Mulch and Grass Competition Influence Tree Root Development

Arboriculture & Urban Forestry, 1988
Root density, soil moisture content and soil oxygen diffusion rate (ODR) were measured under three soil surface treatments—grass, organic mulch and bare soil. Seven tree species were tested, green ash, little-leaf linden, pin oak, red oak, sugar maple, red maple and Norway maple. All trees were approximately 20 years old.
