Wheat straw mulching with fertilizer nitrogen: An approach for improving soil water storage and maize crop productivity

Plant, Soil and Environment, 2018
Field studies using wheat straw mulching effects on soil water storage and maize development were conducted in China. The studies contained four treatments during three years (2014-2016): CK (no straw and no nitrogen); N (no straw mulching with 172 kg N ...

Maize Straw Strip Mulching Mediated Transformation of Soil Organic Nitrogen Across Soil Depths in Wheat and Potato Cultivation

Agriculture
Soil nitrogen availability is a major constraint to crop productivity in rainfed arid and semi-arid regions. The influence of straw strip mulching on nitrogen availability and transformation across soil layers remains unclear. This study investigates the

Straw measures attenuate the differences in surface-subsurface flow and sediment yield under four rainfall patterns on red soil sloping farmlands of southern China

Agricultural Water Management
The intra-event dynamics of rainfall processes significantly alter surface-subsurface flow generation and sediment yield on sloping farmland. However, the effectiveness of straw mulching in regulating these rainfall-induced erosion processes remains ...

Impact of mulching and planting time on spring-wheat (Triticum aestivum) growth: A combined field experiment and empirical modeling approach

Open Agriculture
This study aimed to assess the effect of straw-mulching and sowing time on spring-wheat growth and also evaluate the suitability of nonlinear models (Logistic, Gompertz, Richards and Weibull models) in forecasting crop growth.
