Abstract This study aims to determine the effect of mulch treatment on growth and production garlic ( Allium sativum L.) in lowlands. The research was conducted Lempong Village, Bola District, Wajo Regency located 78 m above sea level (asl) with an average temperature 24ºC - 33ºC. set using a Split Plot Design (SPD) varieties as main plots consisting highland (var. Lumbu Hijau) lowland Putih) w...

Soil erosion and phosphorus (P) runoff can be severe in potato production systems in the Northeast USA, which are characterized by intensive tillage, minimal ground cover, low crop residue return, and steep slopes. We used rainfall simulators in the greenhouse and field to assess sediment and P movement associated with two conservation practices: straw mulching and application of polyacrylamide...

Despite being one of the most pro®table crops for the southeastern USA, cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) is considered to create a greater soil erosion hazard than other annual crops such as corn (Zea mays L.) and soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.). Reduced tillage systems and cover cropping can reduce soil erosion and leaching of nutrients into ground water. The objectives of this study, which wa...

The semiarid is characterized by extreme heat, which affects agricultural production limiting the soil's ability to retain water. objective of this study was investigate influence mulch on soil temperature and moisture in a drip irrigated banana plantation Brazilian region. Six thermocouples three probes were used, with coconut coir as mulch. Daytime nighttime surface temperatures compared for ...

Termites are the most important soil fauna in the Sahelian zone of Africa, intensely interacting with the soil. Both the biotic and abiotic state of the soil affect the termite population and activity. The construction by termites of nests, gallery systems or sheetings from soil or from a mixture of soil and other material within the soil horizons or on the soil surface affect the physical and ...

Urban landscaping conversions can alter decomposition processes and soil respiration, making it difficult to forecast regional CO2 emissions. Here we explore rates of initial mass loss net nitrogen (N) mineralization in natural four common urban land covers (waterwise, waterwise with mulch, shrub, lawn) from sites across seven colleges southern California. We found that N were faster for high-N...

The field experiment was carried out at Forage Block, Instructional Dairy Farm, Nagla, G. B. Pant University of Agriculture & Technology, Pantnagar (Uttarakhand) in spring 2019 to, study the effect mulches and irrigation schedules on productivity water use efficiency sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) Mollisols Uttarakhand (India). consisted 03 levels i.e., control (no mulch), straw mulch @ 6...

An experiment was conducted in the horticultural farm at Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University, Dhaka to evaluate Mulch practices on Growth and yield of four Lisianthus germplasm. The consisted treatments (Mo: Control, Ms: Straw mulch, Mc: Cocodust Mbp: Black polythene mulch) germplasms (V1: Arena Type Pure White,V2: Double White, V3: Light Pink, V4:Super Magic Blue), laid out a Randomized Comp...

The lack of cover is one the main accelerators soil degradation. Without protection and exposed to rainfall, breaks particles, causing surface sealing, making infiltration difficult. This study characterizes sealing hydraulic erosion in Ultisols Alto Ipanema Basin. Eight plots were established under treatments: bare with Brachiaria decumbens mulch. Three rain events simulated at 24-hour interva...

Intensive tillage will continuously reduce soil quality, characterized by decreased C-organic. Low C-organic indicates the disturbance of fertility. More conservative management experiments have been done for seven years to restore quality sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) productivity. This research aimed study effect system, bagasse mulch, and their interactions on chemical properties agro...
