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 ...

Optimization of wheat straw pretreatment process parameters for straw mulch mat [PDF]

BioResources, 2021
Straw mulch mat is a promising alternative to petroleum-based plastic mulching film. The straw pretreatment process parameters influence the mechanical properties of the mat. To explore the effect of pretreatment process parameters on physical properties of wheat straw mulch mat, a five-factor and five-level central composite design (CCD) methodology ...

Research on the Effect of Conservation Tillage Mode on the Suppression of Near-Surface Dust in Farmland

Agriculture, 2022
In order to explore the beneficial effects of conservation tillage (straw burial, stubble + straw mulching, straw mulching) compared with traditional tillage on suppressing farmland dust and the law on farmland wind erosion, PM2.5 and PM10, in this study,

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 ...

Oat Straw Mulching Reduces Interril Erosion and Nutrient Losses Caused by Runoff in a Newly Planted Peach Orchard

Soil Systems, 2023
Soil erosion is one of the major problems in the agricultural areas in the world, and straw mulching is a conservation practice that may reduce soil runoff. How much straw mulching is necessary to reduce soil runoff?

Cephalosporium stripe disease, crop yield and selected soil properties as influenced by straw management in a micro-plot experiment with winter wheat monoculture [PDF]

Journal of Plant Protection Research, 2022
Straw is a valuable by-product of crop production which can be used for various purposes (livestock feed and bedding, bioenergy). However, it should primarily be retained on farmlands to prevent soil organic matter (SOM) losses.

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
