Seasonal Establishment of Bermudagrass Using Plastic and Straw Mulches
Agronomy Journal, 1988AbstractBermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] is normally established vegetatively during the early summer in the transition zone, to allow sufficient establishment time before the onset of freezing conditions in the fall. Clear polyethylene covers and straw mulches muse changes in the turfgrass microenvironment that may influence the rate of ...

Microbiological Studies of the Effect of Straw Used as a Mulch
Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science (1903-), 1943Microbiological Studies of the Effect of Straw Used as a Mulch, T. M. McCALLA2, U.S. Department of Argiculture and College of Agriculture, Lincoln, Nebraska Converting the land of the virgin forest and prairie to the production of cultivated crops has permitted the ravages of soil erosion by wind and water to deplete the fertility of many American ...

The Effect of Straw Mulch on Simulated Simazine Leaching and Runoff
Weed Science, 2011In the Midwestern United States, winter hilling, consisting of two tillage activities per year, is required in vinifera-grape vineyards for winter protection. However, this practice often leads to severe soil erosion and pesticide offsite movement. The effectiveness of wheat straw mulch as a replacement for soil mounding was investigated as a way of ...

Soil Moisture Fluctuations as Affected by Straw-mat Mulch
International Symposium on Erosion and Landscape Evolution (ISELE), 18-21 September 2011, Anchorage, Alaska, 2011The objective of this study is to assess the effect of straw-mat mulch on soil water fluctuations under field conditions. The study was conducted on a bare runoff plot with average slope gradient of 40%. Soil moisture smart sensors® were installed 200mm below the soil surface at three locations, which were 7-, 14-, and 21-m away from the top edge of ...

The Fate of Oryzalin Applied to Straw-mulched and Nonmulched Soils
Weed Science, 1984Field experiments to compare the loss of oryzalin (3,5-dinitro-N4,N4-dipropylsulfanilamide) from straw-mulched and nonmulched soils indicated that oryzalin disappeared more rapidly in soils covered by straw in 1980 and 1981 but not in 1982. It appeared that greater rainfall in 1982 was responsible for this difference.

Sugarcane response to irrigation and straw mulch in a subtropical region
Agricultural Water Management, 1980Abstract In Northern India, insufficient soil moisture and excessively high soil temperatures are reported to restrict growth of crops during the hot, dry months of April–June. A 3-year field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of three irrigation schedules based on ratios of 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 times pan evaporation, and two levels of ...

Impact of Straw Mulch on Populations of Onion Thrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in Onion
Journal of Economic Entomology, 2008Development of insecticide resistance in onion thrips, Thrips tabaci Lindeman (Thysanoptera: Thripidae), populations in onion (Allium spp.) fields and the incidence of the T. tabaci transmitted Iris yellow spot virus have stimulated interest in evaluating alternative management tactics.

Science of The Total Environment, 2019
A large body of research has emphasized how plastic mulching can benefit crop yields in dryland areas. However, this practice's pollution of the soil, air and environment has only recently attracted attention. We conducted a five-year field experiment with winter wheat as a test crop to evaluate whether plastic mulching can be replaced with straw ...
