Plastic mulching is an important technology in agricultural production both in China and the rest of the world. In spite of its benefit of increasing crop yields, the booming expansion of the plastic mulching area has been changing the landscape patterns and affecting the environment. Accurate and effective mapping of Plastic-Mulched Farmland (PMF) can provide useful information for leveraging ...

The experiment was conducted to find out the impact of levels drip irrigation and mulching on growth, yield quality parameters mulberry. Among different 0.8 CPE recorded higher values for growth leaf (47613 kg ha-1 year-1) parameters. Compared lower 0.5, 0.6 0.7 CPE. Also, mulberry plants mulched with black plastic polythene cover (45143 compared without mulching. interaction effect along (T8) ...

The field experiment was conducted at the Farm of College Agricultural Engineering and Technology, Godhra, Gujarat during year 2018-19 2019-20 to simulate phenology yield rabi maize (Zea mays L.) in sandy loam soil central Gujarat. design split plot with 36 treatment combinations 3 replications including three irrigation regimes (1.0IW/CPE, 0.8IW/CPE 0.6IW/CPE), four mulch conditions (control, ...

Grassland conservation of the Conservation Stewardship Program in United States (US) is one largest cost-sharing initiatives for protecting grazing land from invasive and woody plants. The practice cost unit size various plant management strategies, such as mulching, brush management, prescribed burning, are different state to state. We aimed compare examine association between ($/acre[ac]) sta...

Spring maize is an important crop to meet the growing demand for maize. Moisture stress yield limiting factor during dry spring period. Biochar and plastic mulch help in soil moisture conservation might contribute growth of A field experiment was conducted evaluate effects biochar application on growth, yield, attributing characteristics (Zea mays L.) a sandy loam at Rampur, Chitwan, Nepal 2018...

Weeds pose a great threat to crop production subsequently distressing the equilibrium of agro-ecological systems globally. Instead relying on chemical weed control, there is dire need explore alternative eco-friendly agricultural practices for suppression and sustainable wheat production. Mulching being could potentially serve purpose towards organically. To check usefulness mulching, two-year ...

Slope farmland is prone to soil erosion, especially in sub/tropical regions. However, our understanding of near-surface hydrology characteristics and their controlled factors red sloping remains limited. Here, we conducted simulated rainfall experiments assess the impact pattern, straw mulching, structure on hydrological processes southern China. Results showed that: (1) short duration-high int...

Background: Present study, aimed to assess effect of organic and inorganic crop mulching on physical, physiological biochemical quality fresh cowpea beans.Methods: Cowpea (cv. Kashi Kanchan bush-type) was grown during two consecutive seasons from April 2018 July 2019 under four different treatments. Mulching treatments included no mulch; wheat straw mulch (organic mulch); black silver mulch. Bl...
