Dynamics of Root Growth in Spring Wheat Mulched with Plastic Film
Crop Science, 2004Quantifying root growth can improve our understanding of the development of rhizoplane and rhizosphere structure of a crop and its relation to seed yield. A study was conducted in a semiarid environment in northwestern China to determine the seasonal and spatial patterns of root growth in spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown with and without ...

Effects of clear plastic film mulch on yield of spring wheat
Field Crops Research, 1999Abstract This paper explores the possibility of improving yields of spring wheat (Triticum aestivum) by using plastic film mulching. Field experiments compared three mulching treatments viz. for 20 d (M1), 40 d (M2), and 60 d (M3) after sowing (DAS), with a non-mulch control (CK). Mulching increased temperature and moisture in the upper 5 cm of soil,

Biodegradable Plastic Mulch Films for Sustainable Specialty Crop Production
2019Plastic mulch films are employed in the production of vegetables and other specialty crops worldwide due to the benefits they provide, such as reduction of weeds and water loss by evaporation, and control of soil temperature. The benefits can lead to better product quality and yield, and to a more efficient utilization of agricultural inputs such as ...

Concept and estimation of crop safety period of plastic film mulching
2015Plastic mulching film plays an important role in development of agriculture. However, a series of problems such as pollution of plastic film residue left in the field occur. It is required to make a reasonable assessment on film mulching and rationally utilize it.
