Abstract:
The study on the effects of three unary and binary micro-catchment mulching methods including film mulching ridge and ditch plantation, film-mulching ridge and ditch film-mulching plantation and film-mulching ridge and ditch film-mulching straw plantation on growth of corn and different precipitation years was conducted in allusion to the low and unstable yield of corn in the western Liaoning province of China and in comparison with the traditional plantation model. Under the condition of this experiment, through film-mulching ridge and ditch film-mulching plantation and film-mulching ridge and ditch plantation, the time for seedling emergence of corn was shortened and the emergence rate of corn was increased. Through film-mulching ridge and ditch film-mulching straw plantation, the time for seedling emergence of corn was prolonged and the emergence rate of corn was increased in median water or dry years, but the emergence rate of corn was reduced in the high flow year. By contrast to traditional plantation model, film-mulching ridge and ditch film-mulching plantation and film-mulching ridge and ditch plantation boosted the increase in plant height and leaf area of corn and promoted dry matter accumulation in the early period of growth while the growth was slow, the plant height, leaf area and dry matter accumulation was always at he minimum value through film-mulching ridge and ditch straw mulching plantation in the early period of growth, but the growth rate was expedited in the late period during growth. Through film-mulching ridge and ditch straw mulching plantation, due to many reasons such as the growth process ahead of schedule and high temperature, the signs of precocity or premature senility come into being and leaf area and chlorophyll content decreases swiftly; through film-mulching ridge and ditch straw mulching plantation, the descent velocity of leaf area and chlorophyll content were reduced and the leaf senescence was postponed. In different precipitation years, the increases in water use efficiency of micro-catchment plantation were different, smaller in high flow year while larger in dry or median water year.

Abstract:
Colorful baskets of flowering annuals are popular with home gardeners, but these containerized plants require frequent waterings. Mulching of field soils is a proven way to conserve soil moisture. This study was conducted to see if mulching would reduce the need to irrigate containerized plants. Adding either pine bark or sphagnum moss mulch to potted `Impulse Rose' impatiens (Impatiens wallerana) plants reduced the frequency of irrigations when the plants were small and had not yet reached canopy closure. Mulching had no effect on plant height or flowering.

Abstract:
In dry environments, potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is grown under mulching for water conservation and improving tuber yield and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). A meta-analysis was conducted to determine how mulching improved tuber yield and NUE in potato and how yield and NUE is influenced by fertilization, tillage practices, and growing environment in China. A search of peer-reviewed publications was performed to collect data on the effects of mulching on yield and NUE in potato grown in China. The data included were from field studies with a mulching and a no mulching treatment and data on tuber yield and NUE. A total of 169 publications (17 in English and 152 in Chinese) containing 1802 observations from 105 sites were compiled into the dataset. Mulching significantly increased both tuber yield and NUE by an average of 24% compared to no mulching, respectively. Plastic film mulching was more effective in improving yield and NUE than straw mulching. The yield and NUE increase were highest under plastic film mulching on ridge-furrow plots and straw mulching on flat plots. Mulching was more effective at improving yield and NUE in the Northwest dryland region at a plant density between 55,000 and 70,000 plants ha−1 and with application of synthetic N and P2O5 at rates of 100−200 kg ha−1, K fertilization at 0−100 kg K2O ha−1, and without organic fertilization. Integrated use of organic fertilizer and mulching was found to reduce synthetic N and P fertilizer input by 50% and K fertilizer input by 100% for production without affecting yield and NUE. These results demonstrate that mulching increases yield and NUE in potato in China, but the benefits occur when the growing region, tillage, and fertilization practices are appropriately considered.

Abstract:
The field experiment was conducted in the farmer's field, Peringammala, Kalliyoor, Thiruvananthapuram during the Virippu 2017 to study the effect of irrigation scheduling and live mulching with cowpea on root and soil moisture characteristics of upland rice. The results revealed that root characters like root volume, root dry weight and root shoot ratio significantly increased under the irrigation treatment I1 [irrigation at 3 cm depth at 10 mm cumulative pan evaporation (CPE)]. The root length was the highest for rain fed control (I7). Among the mulches, live mulching with cowpea (M2) recorded the highest root length and root shoot ratio. The treatments and their interaction had a significant influence on soil moisture. Irrigation at 3 cm depth at 10 mm CPE, live mulching with cowpea and their interaction recorded the highest consumptive use. The highest water use efficiency was recorded by the treatment irrigation at 2 cm depth at 20 mm CPE (I5) and live mulching with cowpea (M2).

Abstract:
SummaryPlastic film (PF) mulching is widely applied in agriculture to improve water-use efficiency (WUE) and crop production. However, without efficient recovery, the residual plastic fragments in arable land threaten soil health and food security. Degradable films are generally considered as alternatives to conventional PF to mitigate PF pollution. A 2-year field experiment was conducted in 2016 and 2017 to evaluate the effects of various film mulching treatments (conventional PF mulching, transparent degradable film (TDF) mulching, and black degradable film (BDF) mulching, and no mulching) on soil water availability and summer maize yield in the North China Plain (NCP). Soil moisture, soil water storage, water use, and grain yield were recorded. Below 20 cm depth, soil moisture and soil water storage were higher in film mulching than in no mulching. Conventional PF mulching yielded the best water conservation, especially from sowing to jointing. TDF and BDF were similar in their regulation of soil moisture. Comparing to no mulching, conventional PF and degradable transparent film significantly reduced maize grain yield by 15.4 and 8.0% (average over 2 years), and reduced WUE by 9.4 and 7.8% (average 2 years), respectively. The observed reduction of grain yield in transparent film mulching might be caused by excessive soil temperature, especially at vegetative stages, which potentially accelerates crop senescence. Black film mulching reduced the soil cumulative temperature and prevent crops from being overheated. As consequence, grain yield and WUE of summer maize under BDF covering were significantly increased by 11.1 and 15.6%, respectively, over the 2 years. Therefore, we suggest that BDF can be used to replace conventional plastics to improve crop yield and control environmental pollution in the NCP.

Abstract:
The use of mulching is an alternative to control weeds but there are few studies on its effect on soil quality. In this sense, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of types of mulching on the attributes of microbial carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus in a Typic Hapludox with production of integrated apples in southern Brazil. The experiment was conducted in randomized blocks in the Vacaria, state of Rio Grande do Sul, southern Brazil. The soil mulch types studied were: pine needle, sawdust, black plastic and a control. The soil samples were collected in February (summer) and August (winter) of 2006, and the attributes related to total organic and microbial carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus were determined. Organic mulchings (pine needle and sawdust) promoted lower soil temperature, and greater moisture, microbial carbon (Cmic), microbial nitrogen (Nmic), and the ratios Cmic:Corg, Nmic:Norg and microbial C:N than black plastic. Microbial phosphorus was greater in winter. Sawdust mulching promoted the best conditions to microbial biomass in winter. The mulch types increased the microbial compartment in winter as compared to the nonweeded control .

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of the study was to assess the impact of several methods of mulching degraded forest soil with wood chips on the development of mite (Acari) community, with particular emphasis to oribatid mites (Oribatida), and on the growth of young plantings of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.). Mulching with wood chips should contribute to revitalize soil fauna and restore natural forests on degraded soils. Scots pine seedlings were planted at the post-military training ground. Four experimental treatments were tested: control—uncovered soil (C), mulching with wood chips (W), W + mycorrhiza preparation (WM), and W + forest litter (WL). At the end of the growing season in 2012, 2013 and 2014, the following plant measurements were carried out: length of annual increment of the main stem, stem base diameter, number and lengths of lateral shoots in the annual whorl. The mite calculations included average mite density, dominance index, species richness, oribatid mite diversity, average number of species, and Shannon general species diversity index. The use of mulching with wood chips did not significantly affect the growth characteristics of Scots pine plants, but strongly increased the mite community. After mulching, the total number and species diversity of Acari increased many times, and Oribatida began to dominate among micro-arthropods. The number of Oribatida increased most in W. The largest species diversity was observed in WL. 24 species of Oribatida were found that were used as the bio-indicators of soil succession changes. Tectocepheus velatus clearly dominated in all mulching treatments. Oppiella nova and Scutovertex sculptus were also numerous populations of Oribatida. The study shows that mulching with Scots pine wood chips, especially with the addition of forest litter, significantly enriches soil fauna and is therefore useful in the regeneration process of degenerated forest soils.

Abstract:
Two field studies were conducted consecutively in the summer season of 2015 and 2016 to investigate the effect of different soil mulching materials (bare soil: BS as a control, white plastic: WP, black plastic: BP and rice straw: RS) on growth, productivity, and water-use efficiency (WUE) of potato under three levels of irrigation (I100=100%, I80=80%, and I60=70% of crop evapotranspiration). Growth characteristics, yield and its components, and WUE were significantly (P ≤ 0.05) affected by both irrigation level and mulching materials. All mulching materials effectively enhanced growth and productivity when compared to bare soil. Potato plants grown under BP and WP as well as RS showed higher mean values of large size (> 60 mm) tubers and WUE compared to non-mulched treatment (BS) in both seasons. Mulching treatments noticeably increased tuber yield in the order of BP > RS > WP. Results displayed that, under different soil mulching materials, the I80 strategy studied here could be successfully applied during summer season in commercial potato production allowing water savings of 20% without any detrimental effect on plant growth or productivity.

Abstract:
The mineralization of soil organic nitrogen (N) is the key process in the cycling of N in terrestrial ecosystems. Land-use change to bamboo (Phyllostachys praecox) cultivation that later entails organic material mulching combined with chemical fertilizer application will inevitably influence soil N mineralization (Nmin) and availability dynamics. However, the soil Nmin rates associated with various N fractions of P. praecox in response to land-use change and mulching are not well understood. The present study aimed to understand the effects of land-use change to P. praecox bamboo cultivation and organic material mulching on soil Nmin and availability. Soil properties and organic N fractions were measured in a P. praecox field planted on former paddy fields, a mulched P. praecox field, and a rice (Oryza sativa L.) field. Soil Nmin was determined using a batch incubation method, with mathematical models used to predict soil Nmin kinetics and potential. The conversion from a paddy field to P. praecox plantation decreased the soil pH, soil total N, and soil organic matter (SOM) content significantly (p < 0.05); the mulching method induced further soil acidification. The mulching treatment significantly augmented the SOM content by 7.08% compared with the no-mulching treatment (p < 0.05), but it decreased soil hydrolyzable N and increased the nonhydrolyzable N (NHN) content. Both the Nmin rate and cumulative mineralized N were lowest in the mulched bamboo field. The kinetics of Nmin was best described by the ‘two-pool model’ and ‘special model’. The Pearson’s correlation analysis and the Mantel test suggested soil pH was the dominant factor controlling the soil cumulative mineralized N and mineralization potential in the bamboo fields. These findings could help us better understand the N cycling and N availability under mulching conditions for shifts in land use, and provide a scientific basis for the sustainable management of bamboo plantations.

Abstract:
In the present situation of globalization and health awareness demand of the virtuous horticultural crops has increased worldwide. The increasing demand for the fruits and vegetables and market competition has forced the farmers to produce more and high-quality fruits and vegetables for sustaining in the international market. Use of organic mulching is one of the suitable methods which could help the horticultural growers to increase the production with good quality of produce. Looking to the water scarcity and the challenges that arise due to climate change, adoption of organic mulching at large scale by the Indian farmers would help the farmers to overcome several problems considering the advantages of organic mulching. From the findings of the several studies shown that mulching with organic materials increases the soil nutrients, maintains the optimum soil temperature, restricts the rate of evaporation from the soil surface, restricts the weed growth and prevents the soil erosion. It also helps to improve the soil health. Organic mulches are cheap materials; therefore, the cost of mulching is also economical. In this paper, an attempt has been made to overview on the various types of mulching, mulching techniques, benefits and limitations of mulching.

Abstract:
Management of yard waste is a significant challenge in the US, where in 2008 13.2% of the 250 million tons of municipal solid waste (MSW) was reported to be yard waste. This study describes research conducted in the laboratory and field to examine the application of vegetative mulch as daily and intermediate landfill cover. Mulch was found to exhibit stronger physical properties than soil, leading to a more stable landfill slope. Compaction of mulch was found to be significantly greater than soil, potentially resulting in airspace recovery. Degradation of mulch produced a soil-like material; degradation resulted in lower physical strength and hydraulic conductivity and higher bulk density when compared with fresh mulch. Mulch covers in the field permitted higher infiltration rates at high rain intensities than soil covers, and also generated less runoff due to greater porosity and hydraulic conductivity as compared to soil. Mulch covers appear to promote methane oxidation more than soil covers, although it should be noted that methane input to mulch covers was more than an order of magnitude greater than to soil plots. Life cycle assessment (LCA) showed that, considering carbon sequestration, use of green waste as landfill cover saves GHG emissions and is a better environmental management option compared to composting and use of green waste as biofuel.

Um dos maiores gargalos encontrado pelos produtores de hortaliças folhosas na região semiárida, são os fatores climáticos, como temperatura e luminosidade excessiva, fazendo com que a cultura da alface não se desenvolva de forma eficaz, com isso, faz-se necessário criar alternativas capazes de atenuar esse estrese causado as plantas. Deste modo, foi conduzido um experimento em uma área experimental da Universidade Federal de Campina Grande, no Centro de Ciências e Tecnologia Agroalimentar UFCG/CCTA, de abril a junho de 2017, com objetivo de avaliar o crescimento e a produção de plantas da alface sombreada com diferentes cores de agrotêxtil e cobertura do solo com mulching nas condições edafoclimáticas do município de Pombal-PB. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi em blocos casualizados com parcelas subdivididas do tipo 5x2. A parcela foi composta pelas cores de agrotêxtil com gramatura de 15 g.m2 (lilás, branca, verde e amarela e cultivo a céu aberto) e a subparcela composta pela cobertura do solo (com e sem mulching). Por ocasião da colheita avaliou-se, altura de plantas e diâmetro de plantas, comprimento do caule e da raiz, diâmetro do caule, número de folhas por planta, massa seca de raiz, caule, folha, parte aérea e total, massa fresca da parte aérea e produtividade. O agrotêxtil de cor lilás e amarela apresentaram incrementos na fitomassa e produção da alface. Para as características de partição de massa na planta, as telas de cor lilás e amarela se destacaram em relação às demais apresentando assim as melhores médias. Para cobertura do solo com mulching, observou-se que as plantas que foram cultivadas em canteiros sem a presença do mulching apresentaram melhores médias para as variáveis estudadas. Deste modo, foi observado que a plantas desenvolveram-se melhor com o auxílio do sombreamento quando comparado com o tratamento controle (testemunha) o cultivo a céu aberto. A utilização do mulching como cobertura do solo nas condições do estudo diminuiu o crescimento e consequentemente a produção da alface.
One of the biggest bottlenecks found by leafy vegetable growers in the semi-arid region is the climatic factors, such as temperature and excessive luminosity, so that lettuce culture does not develop efficiently, so it is necessary to create alternatives capable of plants. Thus, an experiment was conducted in an experimental area of the Federal University of Campina Grande, UFCG / CCTA in Center of Science and Agro-food Technology , from April to June 2017, with the objective of evaluating the growth and production of shaded lettuce with different colors of agrotêxtil and mulching in the soil and climatic conditions of the city of Pombal-PB. The experimental design was a randomized block with subdivided plots of type 5x2. The plot consisted of the agrotêxtil colors with a grammage of 15 g.m2 (lilac, white, green and yellow and open cultivation) and the subplot composed by the soil cover (with and without mulching). Plant height and diameter, root and stem length, stem diameter, number of leaves per plant, root dry mass, stem, leaf, shoot and total mass, fresh mass of shoot and productivity. The agrotêxtil of lilac and yellow color presented increases in the phytomass and lettuce production. For the mass partition characteristics in the plant, the lilac and yellow color screens stood out in relation to the others, thus presenting the best averages. For soil cover with mulching, it was observed that the plants that were cultivated in beds without the presence of mulching presented better means for the studied variables. Thus, it was observed that the plants were better developed with the aid of shading when compared to the control treatment (control) the cultivation in the open. The use of mulching as a soil cover under the study conditions decreased the growth and consequently the lettuce production.

Abstract:
O tomate (Lycopersicum esculentum Mill) é um dos vegetais mais populares e amplamente consumidos e que faz parte importante na dieta diária. A maioria das áreas cultivadas com a cultura é usando irrigação por sulcos e com menor proporção irrigada por gotejamento. Além de baixa eficiência no uso da água, o sistema de irrigação por sulcos possui impacto ambiental negativo, tornando assim o gotejamento um sistema alternativo viável. O experimento foi conduzido com o objetivo de se avaliar o efeito de quatro lâminas de irrigação por gotejamento, três doses de potássio e a presença de cobertura plástica sobre as características agronômicas do tomateiro L. esculentum, cultivar Débora Plus. Foi utilizado um delineamento experimental inteiramente casualizado, em um esquema fatorial 4x3x2, com três repetições. Os tratamentos consistiram de lâminas de irrigação equivalentes a 125, 100, 75 e 50 % da necessidade hídrica da cultura, com doses de potássio de 208, 416 e 624 kg ha-1, com e sem cobertura do solo ("mulching"). A lâmina de irrigação foi aplicada mediante sistema de gotejamento quando a tensão da água no solo estava entre 10 e 15 kPa. As lâminas de irrigação afetaram significativamente os parâmetros de crescimento vegetativo e produtividade. O potássio, o mulching, as interações de irrigação e potássio, de irrigação e mulching, de irrigação, potássio e mulching influenciaram a altura das plantas aos 90 dias após o transplante (DAT), a massa de matéria fresca das plantas e a produção. A eficiência do uso da água (EUA) diminuiu com o aumento das lâminas de irrigação, sendo que a produtividade máxima foi obtida com a aplicação de 0,57 L.dia-1.planta-1. As maiores produtividades total e comercial foram de 86,20 e 79,73 Mg.ha-1, obtidas da combinação de 54,36 L.planta-1. ciclo-1 e dose de potássio de 416 kg.ha-1, sob condições de solo coberto com mulching.
Tomato is one of the most popular and widely consumed vegetable which forms a major part of daily diet. Most of the crop is irrigated by furrow irrigation system with fewer experiences with drip irrigation. Apart from low water use efficiency, the main irrigation system posses negative environmental impact thus making drip irrigation viable alternative. The objectives of the study was to evaluate the effect of four drip irrigation levels, three potassium doses and the presence of plastic mulching on water use efficiency and the agronomic characteristics of tomato, Lycopersicon esculentum Mill, variety, Débora Plus. The experimental design was a randomized complete design in a 4 x 3 x 2 factorial scheme with three replications. The treatments consisted of irrigation water levels equivalent to 125, 100, 75 and 50% of crop water requirement with potassium doses of 208, 416 and 624 kg ha-1. Irrigation was applied through drip irrigation system when soil water tension was between 10-15 kPa. Irrigation water levels significantly affected crop development parameters and production. Potassium, mulching, interactions of irrigation and potassium, irrigation and mulching, irrigation, potassium and mulching influenced plant height at 90 days after transplant , fresh plant mass and production. Water use efficiency decreased with increase in irrigation levels with daily recommended irrigation water of 0,57 L plant-1 cycle-1. The highest total and commercial yield were 86,20 and 79,73 t ha-1 both obtained with 54,36 L plant-1 cycle-1 and potassium dose 416 kg ha-1 with mulching.

In der Wintersaison 2005-2006 wurde ein Split-Split Plot-Design Feldversuch mit drei Wiederholungen für jede Behandlung von Kartoffeln, als Indikatorpflanze, unter den ariden Bedingungen der Kharga Oasis in der Westlichen Wüste von Ägypten durchgeführt. Drei Bewässerungslevel (100 %, 80 %, und 60 % of ETc) mit Tröpfchenbewässerung, zwei Mulchvarianten (Zuckerrübenabfall ohne und mit 24 ton ha-1) und 4 Kompostraten (0, 12, 24, und 36 ton ha-1) wurden getestet. Generell und als Ergebnis einer Regressionsanalyse der Versuchsvarianten ohne Kompost war die beste Variante die Tröpfchenbewässerung bei 80% ETc unabhängig ob gemulcht oder nicht gemulcht wurde. Andererseits die Variante mit 36 t Kompost und mit 24 t Mulch ergab die besten Ergebnisse bei 60% of ETc sowohl beim Ertrag und den Ertragskomponenten, bei den hydrophysikalischen Eigenschaften, bei der Bodenwasserretention, beim Wasserverbrauch, bei den Pflanzenkoeffizienten, der Wassernutzungseffizienz, der Düngernutzungseffizienz sowie beim Nettogewinn. Wird die Rate der Kompostgabe aber auf 24 ton ha-1 reduziert, die höchsten Nettogewinne bei der lokalen Vermarktung als auch signifikant beim Kartoffelexport werden erreicht.
Under the arid condition of Kharga Oasis in the Western Desert of Egypt, split-split plot design field experiment with three replications for each treatment using potato as an indicator plant was carried out during the winter season 2005-2006. Three irrigation levels of water regime (100 %, 80 %, and 60 % of ETc) using drip irrigation system, two treatments of soil covering (sugar cane wastes at the rate of 0 and 24 ton /ha) and compost rates (0, 12, 24, and 36 ton ha-1) were tested. In general and as a result of the triple interaction among the studied treatments, using drip irrigation either with soil mulching or not, 80 % of ETc as a water regime was the best. On the other hand, reducing drip irrigation water level at 60% of ETc in mulched soil that was treated with 36 ton ha-1 of compost recorded the highest values yield and yield components, soil hydrophysical properties, soil water retention, water consumption, crop coefficients, water economy water use efficiency, fertilizer use efficiency, net profit. But reducing the compost rate to 24 ton ha-1 attained the highest net profit for local potato consumption and achieved the best significant net profit for exportation.

Abstract:
Accelerated soil erosion is one of the major threats to agricultural production in Ethiopia and the Harerge region is not exceptional. It is estimated that about 1.5 billion tones of soil is being eroded every year in Ethiopia. In the extreme cases, especially for the highlands, the rate of soil loss is estimated to reach up to 300 t ha-1yr-1 with an average of about 70 t ha -1yr-1 which is beyond any tolerable level. The government have made different attempts to avert the situation since 1975 through initiation of a massive program of soil conservation and rehabilitation of severely degraded lands. Despite considerable efforts, the achievements were far bellow expectations. This study was aimed at assessing the effect of some soil properties, rainfall intensity and slope gradients on surface sealing, soil erodibility, runoff and soil loss from selected sites in the Harerge region, eastern Ethiopia, using simulated rainfall. Soil loss was also estimated for the sites using Soil Loss Estimation Model for Southern Africa (SLEMSA) and the Universal soil Loss Equation (USLE). Moreover, the effectiveness of various rates and patterns of wheat residue mulching in controlling soil loss was also evaluated for one of the study sites, (i.e. Regosol of Alemaya University), under both rainfall simulation and field natural rainfall conditions. For most of the erosion parameters, the interaction among soil texture, slope gradient and rainfall intensity was significant. In general however, high rainfall intensity induced high runoff, sediment yield and splash. The effect of slope gradients on most of the erosion parameters was not significant as the slope length was too small to bring about a concentrated flow. The effect of soils dominated by any one of the three soil separates on the erosion parameters was largely dependent on rainfall intensity and slope gradient. The soils form the 15 different sites in Harerge showed different degrees of vulnerability to surface sealing, runoff and sediment yield. These differences were associated with various soil properties. Correlation of soil properties to the erosion parameters revealed that aggregate stability was the main factor that determined the susceptibility of soils to sealing, runoff and soil loss. This was in turn affected by organic carbon content, percent clay and exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP). Soils with relatively high ESP such as those at Babile (13.85) and Gelemso (7.18) were among the lowest in their aggregate stability (percent water stable aggregates of 0.25 –2.0mm diameter); and have highest runoff and sediment yield as compared to other soils in the study. Similarly, most of those soils with relatively low ESP, high organic carbon content (OC%) and high water stable aggregates such as Hamaressa, AU (Alemaya University) vertisol and AU regosol were among the least susceptible to sealing and interrill erosion. Nevertheless, some exceptions include soils like those of Hirna where high runoff was recorded whilst having relatively high OC%, low ESP and high water stable aggregates. Both the SLEMSA and USLE models were able to identify the erosion hazards for the study sites. Despite the differences in the procedures of the two models, significant correlation (r = 0.87) was observed between the values estimated by the two methods. Both models estimated higher soil loss for Gelemso, Babile, Karamara and Hamaressa. Soil loss was lower for Diredawa, AU-vertisol and AU-Alluvial all of which occur on a relatively low slope gradients. The high soil loss for Babile and Gelemso conforms with the relative soil erodibility values obtained under rainfall simulation suggesting that soil erodibility, among others, is the main factor contributing to high soil loss for these soils. The difference in the estimated soil losses for the different sites was a function of the interaction of the various factors involved. Though the laboratory soil erodibility values were low to medium for Hamaressa and Karamara, the estimated soil loss was higher owing to the field topographic situations such as high slope gradient. SLEMSA and USLE showed different degrees of sensitivities to their input variables for the conditions of the study sites. SLEMSA was highly sensitive to changes in rainfall kinetic energy (E) and soil erodibility (F) and less sensitive to the cover and slope length factors. The sensitivity of SLEMSA to changes in the cover factor was higher for areas having initially smaller percentage rainfall interception values. On the other hand, USLE was highly sensitive to slope gradient and less so to slope length as compared to the other input factors. The study on the various rates and application patterns of wheat residue on runoff and soil loss both in the laboratory rainfall simulation and under field natural rainfall conditions revealed that surface application of crop residue is more effective in reducing soil loss and runoff than incorporating the same amount of the residue into the soil. Likewise, for a particular residue application method, runoff and soil loss decreased with increasing application rate of the mulch. However, the difference was not significant between 4 Mg ha-1 and 8 Mg ha-1 wheat straw rates suggesting that the former can effectively control soil loss and can be used in areas where there is limitation of crop residues provided that other conditions are similar to that of the study site (AU Regosols). The effectiveness of lower rates of straw (i.e. less than 4 Mg ha-1 ) should also be studied. It should however be noted that the effectiveness of mulching in controlling soils loss and runoff could be different under various slope gradients, rainfall characteristics and cover types that were not covered in this study. Integrated soil and water conservation research is required to develop a comprehensive database for modelling various soil erosion parameters. Further research is therefore required on the effect of soil properties (with special emphasis to aggregate stability, clay mineralogy, exchangeable cations, soil texture and organic matter), types and rates of crop residues, cropping and tillage systems, mechanical and biological soil conservation measures on soil erosion and its conservation for a better estimation of the actual soil loss in the study sites.

Abstract:
Retention of a sugarcane mulch blanket, following green cane harvesting could increase soil water conservation, soil health (organic matter content and micro-organism activity) and soil nutrient status. However, little is known about the effect of such a mulch layer on sugarcane crop growth and development. To study the latter, an experiment was carried out in Komatipoort at the South African Sugarcane Research Institute’s Experimental Station. Row spacing arrangement was either 1.5 m or 1.2 m x 0.6 m tram rows. N14 was planted as a fast canopy growing cultivar and N26 as a slow canopy growing cultivar. Plots were either covered by a mulch layer or left as bare soil. Stalk population, stalk height and radiation interception were measured every second week. Soil temperature readings were logged hourly at a depth of 0.15 m. Preliminary results indicated that early growth and development of sugarcane was delayed under mulch treatments. Stalk length of N26 was reduced more than that of N14. Stalk population of both cultivars were significantly lower under the mulch treatment. Fractional interception of solar radiation was only 50% at 150 days after planting for the mulch treatment, compared to 70% for bare plots. Slow initial growth and delayed canopy development in mulch treatments were associated with low soil temperatures in the period leading up to full canopy closure. Soil temperature in the mulch treatments remained between 3 to 4oC lower than the bare soil treatments. Early indications are that the presence of a mulch layer may reduce early growth and development of sugarcane. Copyright

В статье описывается влияние норм внесения удобрений на содержание NPK в дренажных водах. Дренажные воды накапливают в прудах и используют на орошение. Наиболее экономно дренажные воды используются при капельном орошении. Эффективность капельного орошения возрастает при сочетании его с мульчированием полимерной пленкой В статье показано как влияет мульчирование картофеля на его урожайность. Рассмотрены различные виды мульчирующих пленок. Описана система капельного орошения картофеля в сочетании с мульчированием мембранной пленкой, разработанная в нашем институте. Применение мембранной пленки обеспечивает возможность поддержания в гребне борозды благоприятного водно-воздушного режима. Этот экран при выпадении осадков позволяет отводить дождевую воду от гребня и предотвратить переувлажнение почвы в зоне расположения клубней и предотвратить их загнивание.The article describes an impact of fertilizer application rates on the NPK content in drainage waters. Drainage water is collected in ponds and used for irrigation. Most economically effective drainage water is used for drip irrigation. The efficiency of drip irrigation increases when it is combined with mulching with a polymer film. The article shows how the mulching of potatoes affects its productivity. Various types of mulching films are presented. A system of drip irrigation of potatoes combined with mulching with a membrane film, which was developed at our institute, is described in the article in detail. The use of a membrane film makes it possible to maintain a favorable water-air regime in the crest of the furrow. This screen during precipitation allows to divert rainwater from the ridge and prevent waterlogging of the soil in the area of the potato tubers and prevent their decay.

Abstract:
In the emerging global economic order in which agricultural crop production is witnessing a rapid transition to agricultural commodity production, potato is appearing as an important crop, poised to sustain and diversify food production in this new millennium. Temperature and unpredictable drought are two most important factor affecting world food securities and the catalyst of the great famines of the past. Decreased precipitation could cause reduction of irrigation water availability and increase in evapo-transpiration, leading to severe crop water-stress conditions. Increasing crop productivity in unfavourable environments will require advanced technologies to complement traditional methods which are often unable to prevent yield losses due to environmental stresses. Various crop management practices such as improved nutrient application rate, mulching, raised beds and other improved technology help to raise the productivity. Conservation farming practices play important role to restore soil and enhancing soil health and play important role to combat climate change issue.

Abstract:
The indigenous farming systems are, by and large, organically practiced. Organic farming systems facilitate the buildup of soil organic matter, reducing risk of erosion and runoff and enhancing nutrient storehouse in soils for plants. Rapid developments in organic farming promotion necessitated continuous flow of technology to meet day-to-day challenges. Farmyard manure (FYM), compost, and green manure are the most important and widely used bulky organic manures. Manuring with different short-duration legumes is suitable for maintenance of soil quality in terms of adding nitrogen to soil. Sustainable quantity of potassium can be maintained by vegetative mulching with crop residues. The use of balanced dosages of mixed compost at 5–10 t/ha along with 2 t/ha dolomite increases yield of maize, rice, mustard, and soybean. This article briefly describes about the integrated organic nutrient management as soil policy for upgrading cropping system to restore soil productivity.

Abstract:
A demanda de água pela agriculta vem aumentando consideravelmente. No Brasil, este volume corresponde por cerca de 71% do total consumido. Diante da crescente escassez hídrica, o desenvolvimento de tecnologias que permitam cultivar com um menor volume de água, sem comprometer a produtividade agrícola, é indispensável. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar o efeito das combinações de níveis de irrigação associado ao uso de mulching na cor branca na produção da pimenta dedo-de-moça Capsicum baccatum var. pendulum. O experimento foi conduzido no Setor de Plasticultura do Departamento de Engenharia e Ciências Exatas da FCAV/UNESP. Foram utilizados vasos de 12 dm3 , preenchidos com Latossolo Vermelho distrófico típico, de textura argilosa, com horizonte A moderado. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi o de blocos casualizados (DBC) com 6 repetições. Os tratamentos consistiram em T1: nível de irrigação 50% da capacidade de vaso (CV) mais solo descoberto; T2: nível de irrigação 50% CV mais mulching branco; T3: nível de irrigação 100% CV mais solo descoberto; T4: nível de irrigação 100% CV mais mulching branco. As mudas foram transplantadas 35 dias após a semeadura, estabelecendo-se 1 planta por vaso. Os tratamentos foram aplicados aos 10 dias após o transplantio e a colheita foi realizada aos 63 dias. As avaliações objetivaram mensurar os seguintes parâmetros: massa fresca da parte aérea (MFPA) (g planta -1), número de frutos (NF) (por planta) e produção (g planta -1). Além destas variáveis, a lâmina total de irrigação aplicada em cada tratamento foi mensurada a partir da média da lâmina total de dois vasos por tratamento. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância pelo teste F (P<0,05) e as médias foram comparadas pelo teste de Tukey por meio do software Agroestat, versão 1.0. Os valores médios de MFPA evidenciaram que, à exceção de T1 (50% capacidade de água do vaso e solo nu), os tratamentos não se diferiram estatisticamente. Entretanto, para as variáveis NF e produção, os melhores resultados foram obtidos pelas plantas submetidas ao tratamento T4, composto por 100% da CV mais solo coberto com mulching de cor branca. Apesar da produção do T4 ter sido 94,05% superior ao T3, o segundo melhor tratamento, foi exigido menor volume de água, evidenciando que a combinação de irrigação em níveis adequados e o emprego do mulching é uma técnica que proporciona ao produtor maior produtividade de pimenta dedo-de-moça com menor uso de água, gerando maior rendimento econômico e menor impacto ambiental.

Abstract:
We studied the use of the secondary cellulose and biodegradable polymeric film for soil mulching on the summer sowings of the melon variety Strelchanka. We noted the efficiency of the use of mulching material in levelling out the temperature fluctuations, protecting the root system of plants from overheating and in developing the favorable conditions for soil moistening. The analysis of the obtained results showed a significant increase in the productivity of melon fruits by 0.93 t/ha (+15.9 %) in comparison with the control variant, on which we used the standard technology. The mulching increased the accumulation of dry soluble substances in the flesh of melon fruits. The mulch from the secondary cellulose did not create any obstacles for carrying out agrotechnical measures for tillage after harvesting and removing the drip tape.
