Abstract Sugar demand in Indonesia is still increasing although its productivity remains low due to several constraints. Water scarcity also plays significant role on decreasing sugarcane production Indonesia. Improved methods are strongly required be applied by farmers as climate-smart strategies, for instance drip irrigation and organic mulching. AquaCrop a modelling software which useful sim...

Sustainable nutrient management approaches could improve production and quality without affecting soil health. We conducted a field experiment to investigate the interactive effects of mulching (no mulch, plastic straw mulch) nanobiochar (NBC) foliar application on biomass, contents, metabolites in leaf curd cauliflower (Brassica oleracea var. botrytis). After 20 days transplantation, NBC (0.1%...

This study aims to provide comprehensive and practical information on particular mechanization means used in the maintenance of permanent grass stands, namely cutting technologies without collection cut biomass - mulching. A sample consisting six machines classified into three categories (uniaxial tool carriers, single-axle small tractors, with a zero turning radius) was tested practice functio...

Soil nutrient depletion is a major concern in terms of resource utilization and optimization of production in the middle hills of Nepal. Soil and nutrient losses from agricultural land is responsible for pollution of surface waters and this reduces the productive capacity of land. A field experiment was initiated in May 2001 on acidic sandy loam soil in Kavre district; Nepal to investigate the ...

Close management of irrigation could have considerable impacts on water resources, especially for cropping systems dominated by corn. The experiment was carried out to compare the influence porous capsule (PCI), surface drip (DI), and subsurface (SDI) systems, with or without mulching, actual evapotranspiration (ETc act), crop coefficients (Kc single Kc dual), biomass yield, use efficiency (WUE...

This article considers the effective effect of mulching irrigated typical gray and meadow soils with plant residues application various fertilizers on soil fertility, (organic fertilizers, biohumus biopreparations) in soils. The microbiological activity was determined. to have been shown affect growth yield winter wheat cotton.

In order to improve environmental sustainability of tomato cultivation and the quality harvested fruits, we tested (a) digestate from anaerobic fermentation buffalo slurries as partial replacing NP fertilizers (b) biodegradable mulching nutrients water availability for crop control weeds. 2017–2018, a private farm Campania region hosted trial with four treatments deriving combination two experi...

Soil moisture conservation, proper irrigation scheduling and nutrient management are crucial for sustainable cucumber production. A field experiment was set up over two years (2018 2019) to investigate the effects of frequency, black polyethylene mulching, nitrogen fertilization on yield, water use efficiency (WUE) (NUE) at Ikole-Ekiti, Nigeria. The a 3 x 2 factorial in randomized complete bloc...

Mulching is done to conserve moisture, improve the fertility & health of soil, reduce weed growth, and enhance Beauty area. Before laying mulch sheets, suitable seedbed preparation major tasks before farmers. Traditionally, seedbeds are prepared with help draught animals or machines then mulching by manually which very time energy consuming. However, each these operations individually, resu...

Practical and sustainable water management systems are needed in arid regions due to shortages climate change. Therefore, an experiment was initiated winter (WS) spring (SS), investigate integrating deficit irrigation, associated with partial root drying (PRD) soil mulching, under subsurface drip irrigation on squash yield, fruit quality, use efficiency (IWUE). Two mulching treatments, transpar...
