Effects of straw mulching on sediment particle distribution and soil erosion control
Agricultural Water ManagementSoil erosion poses a global threat to agricultural sustainability, particularly in vulnerable regions such as the sloping croplands of southern China’s red loam region. The study evaluates the efficacy of straw mulching versus conventional tillage (T) in

GROWING OF THE ORGANIC POTATOES WITH USING OF THE MULCHING MATERIALS [PDF]
, 2010 Mulching which has become more popular lately is an important way of soil protection in the plant production. Mulching massively reduces soil erosion [DÖRING ET AL., 2005], virus vector in seed potatoes [DÖRING ET AL., 2006] and it may also act as a tool
