Simulating the radiation distribution within a barley-straw mulch

Agricultural and Forest Meteorology, 2000
Mulching is a technique widely used to moderate soil microclimate. Modelling radiation transfer within mulches is a critical step in the development of comprehensive microclimate models of the soil‐mulch‐atmosphere system and similar hay-drying systems.

Soil Moisture Fluctuations as Affected by Straw-mat Mulch

International Symposium on Erosion and Landscape Evolution (ISELE), 18-21 September 2011, Anchorage, Alaska, 2011
The 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 ...

Impact of Straw Mulch on Populations of Onion Thrips (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) in Onion

Journal of Economic Entomology, 2008
Development 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.

Straw mulch as an alternative to plastic film mulch: Positive evidence from dryland wheat production on the Loess Plateau

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 ...
