Effects of Mulching on Maize Yield and Evapotranspiration in the Heihe River Basin, Northwest China
Remote Sensing, 2022 Plastic film mulching is an effective way to manage agricultural fields in water shortage areas. Through increasing the soil surface temperature at the early stage of crop growth and reducing the soil evaporation during the whole growth period, plastic ...

Soil Microbial Communities Associated With Biodegradable Plastic Mulch Films [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Agricultural plastic mulch films provide a favorable soil microclimate for plant growth, improving crop yields. Biodegradable plastic mulch films (BDMs) have emerged as a sustainable alternative to widely used non-biodegradable polyethylene (PE) films.

EFFECTS OF PLASTIC AND BIODEGRADABLE MULCH FILMS IN FIELD TOMATO CULTIVATION [PDF]
Acta Scientiarum Polonorum Hortorum Cultus, 2018 The yield quantity and quality depend on genetic factors, cultivation system and environmental conditions. Growth conditions can be improved by mulching the soil with plastic and biodegradable materials. A 2-factor experiment was conducted in 2011–2013 in the Wroclaw University of Environmental and Life Sciences.

Studies on the Colored Plastic Film for Mulching
Japanese Journal of Crop Science, 1971 On the property of mulch films which are effective to either soil temperature raising or weed control, several studies were made from the viewpoint of transmissrion spectrum of film and wavelength dependence of weed growth. A clear polyethylene film was very effective to raise the soil temperature but allowed a thick growth of weeds, while a black one ...
