Sustainable Potato Growth under Straw Mulching Practices
Sustainability, 2023 Extreme heat, droughts, pests, diseases, and short bursts of heavy rain make potato production unsustainable. This unfavorable environment negatively affects potato productivity and yield levels. Within the next few years, conditions will likely deteriorate even more.

Study on the Effect of Straw Mulching on Farmland Soil Water. [PDF]
J Environ Public Health, 2022 Straw mulching farming is currently an effective dry farming technique for improving arid soil environments. Straw mulching technology can increase the infiltration capacity of soil water and improve crop yield and water use efficiency. In this study, the aim is to improve the soil water holding capacity, water retaining capacity, and comprehensive ...

Straw Mulching and Nitrogen Fertilization Affect Diazotroph Communities in Wheat Rhizosphere. [PDF]
Front Microbiol, 2021 Diazotrophs that carry out the biological fixation of atmospheric dinitrogen (N2) replenish biologically available nitrogen (N) in soil and are influenced by the input of inorganic and organic substrates. To date, little is known about the effects of combined organic substrate addition and N fertilization on the diazotroph community composition and ...

The Effect of Transparent/Black Film and Straw Mulching on Canopy Conductance in Maize. [PDF]
Plants (Basel)Canopy conductance (Gc) is an important biological constant for quantifying the water vapor flux at the canopy-atmosphere interface, reflecting the coupling strength between crop transpiration and microclimate. To elucidate how mulching modulates Gc dynamics under varying environments, we measured the transpiration of maize based on thermal equilibrium
