“…Similar results also found in Ma et al (2018), a decreased of soil organic C by plastic mulching in the first 10 cm of soil layer but significantly increase N (NO 3 -) content. In recent study, Chen et al (2023) shown that plastic mulching could results to higher N uptake for corn and lower N (N 2 O and NH 3 ) emission compared to no plastic mulching treatment. Regardless, N (NO 3 -) leaching was much higher by the mulching treatments due to the limited gas transport in the soil surface under mulching.…”

Agricultural intensification plays an important role in sustaining productivity. Plastic mulching and the application of pesticides in crop cultivation have become inevitable to achieve high yield production. This study was aimed to determine the effect of plastic mulching and pesticide applications on carbon (C) fractions. The field experiment was designed using a completely randomized design with two factors consisting of plastic mulching and the application of pesticide at two levels (with and without) at each treatment. All the treatments were prepared for three replications. The soil carbon fractions data collected includes active C and humic acid as stable C fractions. The findings of this research showed that both active and stable C fractions were not significantly influenced by plastic mulching and pesticide applications. The active and stable C fractions were ranging from 1.40 to 1.42 g/kg and from 193.3 to 220 g/kg, respectively. These results might be attributed to the period of the study. The duration of this study might be not sufficient to capture any potential long-term changes in soil C fractions induced by the treatments. Thus, further research should consider extending the experiment duration to assess the long-term effects of the agricultural practices to C fractions.

“…With optimized drip irrigation scheduling, most nitrogen applied could distribute in the root zone (Figure 10), then increase the nitrogen content and promote the maize growth, finally resulting in a higher yield (+11% compared to surface irrigation). Compared to surface irrigation, combining mulching with drip irrigation is a much better practice to apply nitrogen fertilizer to the root and enhance nitrogen use efficiency [23].…”

“…This result is important because most crops' roots are mainly developed in the upper 40 cm soil layer [57,58]. Chen, Li, Shi, Yan, Zhang, and Hu [23] modelled the nitrogen dynamics using the HYDRUS (2D/3D) model and found soil nitrate nitrogen in the upper 20 soil layer in the nonmulching region was higher than that under the mulching condition, and this difference was negligible in the soil layer deeper than 40 cm depth, which was in agreement with the results in this study.…”

“…Soil NH 4 + and NO 3 − move, generally following the water flow. Soil evaporation decrease under mulching prevents NH 4 + and NO 3 − movement up into the soil surface; then, most NH 4 + and NO 3 − can distribute into the soil layer for crop uptake, thus reducing soil nitrogen stress [23], and finally, resulting in higher crop yield and nitrogen use efficiency [24]. According to several studies [7,18,24,25], plastic mulching has shown superior performance in terms of promoting nitrogen uptake and crop yield compared to straw, gravel, and biodegradable film mulching methods.…”

Hetao Irrigation District (HID) is one of the main regions for maize and sunflower production in North China. However, water resource shortages and soil salinization greatly limit maize and sunflower production. The surface irrigation method is the main irrigation method in HID; however, now, the plastic mulching and drip irrigation area is increasing to reduce irrigation water and enhance crop yield. In this study, the soil water, salt, and nitrogen contents at the 0–100 cm soil layer under plastic mulching and non-mulching conditions with the surface irrigation—fertilizer broadcast practice and drip fertigation method were investigated at the maize elongation and maturation stages in the 2021 and 2022 seasons. The results show that the mulching practice and irrigation methods greatly influenced the soil salt and ionic nitrogen (NO3− and NH4+) distributions and, ultimately, the maize yield. Mulching reduced the soil salt content in the 0–20 cm soil layer by a mean of 35.7% under surface irrigation and by 18.6% under the drip irrigation condition. The NO3− content in the 0–20 cm soil layer with the drip fertigation system was approximately 8 times higher in mulching soil than that out of mulching. However under the surface irrigation condition, the NO3− content was 8–10 times lower under mulching than that out of mulching. The soil salt and NO3− contents were distributed uniformly at each soil layer deeper than a 40 cm depth, indicating minor effects of mulching. The soil NH4+ content decreased as the soil depth increased and distributed uniformly at each soil layer, indicating the insignificant influence of the mulching practice. As a result, the maize yield under the drip-mulching condition was approximately 11% (10.6~11.4%) higher than that under the surface-mulching condition in the two maize seasons. Given that surface irrigation is currently the primary irrigation method in the Hetao Irrigation District (HID), we have proposed three approaches aimed at enhancing maize production through the improvement of nitrogen levels in surface-mulching practices.
