Measuring and modeling maize evapotranspiration under plastic film-mulching condition
Journal of Hydrology, 2013Summary Plastic film-mulching techniques have been widely used over a variety of agricultural crops for saving water and improving yield. Accurate estimation of crop evapotranspiration (ET) under the film-mulching condition is critical for optimizing crop water management.

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 ...

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,

Plastic Film Mulch Effect on Spring Wheat in a Semiarid Region
Journal of Sustainable Agriculture, 2005ABSTRACT The negative effect on the grain yield of spring wheat when mulching with clear plastic film was studied in a semiarid area. Four treatments were set up: M–plastic film mulching without phosphorus application; P–phosphorus supplied without mulching; MP–phos–phorus supplied and mulching; and CK–without film mulching or phosphorus. The dry year,

[Toxicity of niclosamide with plastic film mulching to fish].
Zhongguo xue xi chong bing fang zhi za zhi = Chinese journal of schistosomiasis control, 2013To observe the toxicity of niclosamide with plastic film mulching to fish.A ditch with Oncomelania snails was selected as the study site, and it was divided into a control group and a molluscicide group. After the river closure, the molluscicidal group was sprayed with niclosamide with a dosage of 2 g/m2, and then covered with plastic film; no ...

Plastic Film Mulching Increases Soil Respiration in Ridge-furrow Maize Management
Arid Land Research and Management, 2015The cultivation practice of ridge-furrow with full plastic film mulching has been significantly promoted for crop production and is now used extensively in northwest China. There is still a dearth of information on the change in carbon dioxide (CO2) emission under plastic film mulching.

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 ...

Materials and Manufacturing Processes, 2014
The dramatic increase in plastic film mulching in water-efficient agriculture is primarily due to its versatile nature that has proven to be very beneficial over the last decade in the arid region. However, as carelessly used plastic mulch films lead to agro-environmental pollution, there has been vigorous research recently to develop degradable film ...
