Abstract:This study has investigated the effects of two different plastic mulching methods on soil water, temperature, and nitrate (NO3-N) accumulation in a dryland winter wheat field after one-year experiment. The drought-resistant wheat (Triticum aestivum) variety Chang-8744 was grown by (i) furrow planting with ridge mulching, (ii) bunch planting with flat mulching, and (iii) conventional flat planting without mulching (or control). Results showed that dryland winter wheat effectively utilized soil water down to 2 m… Show more
