Water scarcity is an important obstacle to the development and expansion of urban landscape in the arid and semi-arid regions of the world. Nowadays organic and artificial materials can be used to reducing water consumption without reducing the quality and quantity of urban landscape. In order to study of the effect of some mulch type on the reduce of irrigation interval on a popular seasonal p...

Fungi native to agricultural soils that colonized commercially available biodegradable mulch (BDM) films were isolated and assessed for potential to degrade plastics. Typically, when formulations of plastics are known and a source of the feedstock is available, powdered plastic can be suspended in agar-based media and degradation determined by visualization of clearing zones. However, this appr...

Abstract The research was conducted to study the performance of cucumber under protected conditions with different plastic mulches. This experiment in a split plot design, having irrigation levels as main and mulches subplots. revealed that mulching helped maintain soil moisture higher than bare black mulch showed temperature (23.3%) 100% irrigation. Plant height yield also influenced by mulchi...

Crop residues or mulches affect soil temperature influencing plant growth and related processes in the soil. A hot/cold plate combination was used to quantify heat transfer through several common dry test mulch materials (rubber chips, pine straw, wheat straw) and identify and quantify heat transfer mechanisms with the goal of modeling apparent thermal conductivity of the mulch. Mulch material ...

Black plastic film mulching is widely practiced in crop production, especially horticultural systems, because of its multiple benefits. However, post-usage polluting residues and limited availability to farmers at all places cause concern. The objective this study was evaluate a field experiment the potential commonly available stationery-purpose poly-coated brown wrapping sheet bhendi [Abelmos...

Genetic modification of crop plants to introduce desirable traits such as nutritional enhancement, disease and pest resistance, and enhanced crop productivity is increasingly seen as a promising technology for sustainable agriculture and boosting food production in the world. Independently, cultural practices that utilize alternative agriculture strategies including organic cultivation subscrib...

Abstrak. Penelitian bermaksud supaya memahami respon perkembangan serta hasil bawang merah akibat perbedaan takaran pupuk kandang jenis mulsa, ada tidaknya interaksi antara bermacam mulsa pada pertumbuhan tanam merah. Telah terlaksana di Sektor Timur, kebun percobaan fakultas pertanian universitas syiah kuala, Banda Aceh mulai November sampaike Februari 2021. Rancangan telah dipakai peneliti in...
