Improving Garlic Using Wheat Straw Mulch [PDF]
HortScience, 1996 Garlic (Allium sativum L.) has been cultivated in much of the world for millennia. Little scientific research, however, has focused on improving cultural conditions for production in the temperate regions of the northeastern United States, where garlic is gaining importance as a horticultural crop.

Long-term vegetation response following post-fire straw mulching [PDF]
Fire Ecology, 2019 Straw mulching is one of the most common treatments applied immediately post fire to reduce soil erosion potential and mitigate post-fire effects on water quality, downstream property, and infrastructure, but little is known about the long-term effects on vegetation response.

Soil evaporation under different straw mulch fractions
African Journal of Agricultural Research, 2014 This study was conducted at the Agronomic Institute of Parana (IAPAR), Londrina, Parana state (latitude 23° 18' S, longitude 51° 09' W, average elevation of 585 m). Londrina's climate in Koppen's classification is Cfa type, that is, humid subtropical climate with rain in all seasons and droughts in winter.

Effects of Straw Mulching Thickness on the Soil Health in a Temperate Organic Vineyard
Agriculture, 2022 Soil mulching is one of the common measures applied in organic agricultural production which could replace plastic films and protect the environment. In order to fully evaluate the effects of different straw mulching thicknesses on soil health, maize ...

172 STRAW MULCH INCREASES YIELD OF THORNLESS BLACKBERRY CULTIVARS [PDF]
HortScience, 1994 Annual yields of thornless blackberries may be inconsistent due to low winter or early spring temperatures. Under ideal conditions thornless blackberries can produce two or three times more berries per acre and ripen over a longer period of time than the erect, thorny type.
