Effects of Ridge Tillage and Straw Mulching on Cultivation the Fresh Faba Beans

Ridge tillage is an effective agronomic practice and a miniature precision agriculture; however, its effects on the growth of faba beans (Vicia L.) are poorly understood. This study aimed to determine effect ridge straw mulching root growth, nutrient accumulation yield beans. Field experiments were conducted during 2016 2017 cropping seasons comprised four treatments: without any (RT), flat mulch (FT), with rice mulched (FTRSM) (RTRSM). The RT RTRSM increased soil temperature decreased humidity improved total nitrogen, phosphorus, available potassium organic matter. length density, surface area, diameter activity at flowering harvest periods. also absorption These results indicated that affect bean by improving moisture conditions providing good air permeability nutrition supply. provides theoretical basis for high cultivation improvement
