Soil erosion and extensive management, as key factors limiting the sustainability of agroecosystem in Loess Plateau, severely hamper high-quality development regional agriculture. fertility element synergy can be enhanced by applying mulching measures properly. However, there is a lack systematic research into how soil stoichiometric characteristics under affect crop productivity. This study fo...

One of the most significant yield losses in tomato ( Solanum lycopersicum L.) is due to weeds. Yellow and purple nutsedge, large crabgrass, Palmer amaranth are troublesome weed species production throughout southeastern United States. This study aimed determine impact soil steaming, plastic mulching, cover crops on suppression, height, fruit yield. The used were hairy vetch Vicia villosa ), cri...

ABSTRACT- Over the past 50 years, oil mulching has been a common technique for sand dune stabilization in the southwest of Iran (Khuzestan province). However, concerns over the release of heavy metals from oil mulching have led to the search for alternative mulches that are capable of stabilizing sand dunes without environmental hazards. This study investigates the feasibility of using sugarcan...

The influence of coloured-plastic mulching on physical and biochemical characteristics tomato fruits were investigated. During the study, crop was grown in an open field under five mulching, one organic mulch a no-mulch treatment. Harvested analysed for various physico-chemical post-harvest quality parameters. Results evidenced that sphericity tomatoe non-significantly (P<0.05) affected by h...

This study aimed to quantify forage yield, economic performance, biological efficiency and competitive ability in cactus intercropped with millet, compared their monocrops, both without mulch, under irrigation. The experiment was conducted over two years semi-arid of Brazil. experimental design randomised blocks four replications six treatments: monocropped mulch; millet mulch mulch. individual...

Existing devices for dry direct-seeded rice with film mulching in northern China have limitations such as imprecise sowing, unadjustable sowing depth, and seeding device blocking. In this regard, study proposes a combined method of ‘mini shovel + telescopic pipe’ mulching. A precision seeder was developed through theoretical calculations, discrete element modelling (DEM) simulations, field expe...

Au Burkina Faso, le recyclage des résidus de culture constitue un défi pour l’amélioration la productivité systèmes production agricole. L’objectif cette étude était d’évaluer les effets gestion du bananier (Musa acuminata C.) et fumure minérale sur caractéristiques chimiques sol rendement maïs (Zea mays L.). Un essai en split-plot avec quatre répétitions comparant modes options a été conduit p...

Present study was conducted to investigate the effect of different mulching materials on soil hydrothermal environment and plant growth parameters for potato crop at field experimental station National Institute Technology, Hamirpur in humid sub-tropical agro climate Western Himalayas. The experiments were a randomized complete block design with four treatments; wheat straw mulch, pine needle r...
