“…Results showed that plastic mulching can increase soil temperature during the entire growing season in the dry mountainous area of Hebei. Identical results were reported by Zhang et al (2005) for millet and similar results have also been reported for spring wheat (Li et al, 2004b), maize (Li et al, 2013), and potato (Zhao et al, 2012).…”

“…These differences in WUE could be attributed to the fact that during the two first years the fruit yield potential differed between treatments, consequently affecting fruit yield and WUE in the third year. However, our results demonstrate that mulch enhanced both fruit yield and irrigation efficiency, as reported in other crops (Mukherjee et al, 2012;Zhao et al, 2012).…”

Mulching techniques have emerged in recent years to overcome soil constraints and improve fruit tree productivity. The object of this study was to evaluate the effects of a low-cost organic mulch application in a newly planted peach orchard under a ridge planting system. Three treatments were performed in 12 elementary plots using a randomized complete block design. The orchard was drip-irrigated. Mulch was applied in two treatments, which differed in fertigation (none vs. multi-nutrient fertigation), while the third treatment did not include either mulch or fertigation and served as the control. Treatments were compared in terms of their effects on the physical properties of the soil, crop response, and water-use efficiency. Mulch treatments did not alter the soil bulk density. However, the mulch significantly (p=0.0004) increased the water infiltration rate (2.21 mm/h vs. 121 mm/h), which is a key issue when working in high frequency irrigation systems under soil limiting conditions. Similarly, mulched treatments showed a more favorable water status both in the second and the third year, which was translated in a better crop response. Thus, mulched treatments recorded higher yields both in the second (+155%, p=0.0005) and the third year (+53%, p=0.0007) of the experiment. Water use efficiency (WUE agr ) was higher in the mulch treatments (+50% in average, p=0.0007) than in the control in the third year of the study. On the basis of our results, we propose that organic-mulching techniques should be considered as a beneficial practice to apply in fruit-trees production under limiting soil conditions. Additional key words: Prunus persica; compost; irrigation water use efficiency; limiting soil, salinity.

“…Salah satu cara untuk mendapatkan kondisi lingkungan yang optimal untuk perkecambahan adalah dengan penutupan mulsa. Penggunaan mulsa memiliki berbagai keuntungan baik dari apek fisik maupun kimia seperti: memperkecil fluktuasi suhu dan kelembaban, memperbesar infiltrasi dan mengurangi evapotranspirasi (Sukirno, 1983;Purwowidodo, 1983;Fauzan, 2002;Widyasari , 2011;Gordon , et al et al 2010;Franquera, 2011;Zhao , 2012, et al Navratilova dan Prijono, 2013, Gordon , et al 2010Darmawan, 2014;Azad, Hasan dan Parvizi, 2015;Mutetwa dan Mutaiti, 2014;Wisudawati 2016). Menurut Umboh et al, (2002), berdasarkan sumber bahan dan cara pembuatannya mulsa dibagi tiga kelompok yaitu mulsa organik, mulsa anorganik dan mulsa kimia sintetis.…”

“…Mulsa jerami padi dapat mengurangi fluktuasi suhu, dan meningkatkan kelembaban dan mengurangi evapotranspirasi (Bilalis ., 2002;Doring 2006;Mayun, et al et al, 2007). Zeolit merupakan padatan anorganik berwarna kebiru-biruan, bersifat basa sehingga dapat menetralkan tanah, mempunyai permukaan yang luas dan sangat berpori sehingga mempunyai kemampuan mengikat air (Barrer, 1982;Dyer, 1988;Prayitno ., 1989;Meier et al et al et al ., 1996;Bachrein ., 1998;Herawati, 2001) Warna mulsa plastik akan menentukan sifat cahaya yang dipantulkan, diserap dan diteruskan (Mahrer, 1979;Elnizar, 2004 Gordon et al, 2010, Sukirno, 1983Purwowidodo, 1983;Fauzan, 2002;Widyasari et al, 2011, Gordon et al, 2010Franquera, 2011;Zhao et al, 2012, Navratilova dan Prijono, 2013Gordon et al, 2010;Darmawan, 2014;Azad, Hasan dan Parvizi, 2015;Mutetwa dan Mutaiti, 2014;Wisudawati et al, 2016). …”

One of the factors that determine the successful of the development of mindi is ABSTRAKSalah satu faktor penentu keberhasilan pengembangan tanaman mindi adalah ketersediaan bibit. Pengadaan bibit dapat dilakukan secara generatif atau dengan biji, namun oleh karena karakteristik benih mindi mempunyai kulit yang keras, sehingga diperlukan perlakuan-perlakuan kondisi lingkungan agar berkecambah secara maksimal, salah satunya dengan pemulsaan. Penggunaan mulsa berpengaruh terhadap perbaikan kondisi lingkungan seperti suhu, kelembaban, memperbesar infiltrasi dan mengurangi evapotranspirasi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh mulsa terhadap perkecambahan mindi dan mendapatkan jenis mulsa terbaik untuk perkecambahan benih mindi. Rancangan penelitian yang digunakan adalah Acak Lengkap (RAL) yang disusun secara faktorial, dengan faktor A adalah Jenis Mulsa dan fator B adalah Ketebalan mulsa. Jenis mulsa terdiri dari Jerami, plastik transparan, plastik berwarna gelap (hitam), zeolit dan kontrol (tanpa penutupan mulsa). Ketebalan Mulsa terdiri dari satu lapis dan dua lapis. Pengamatan dilakukan terhadap daya berkecambah, kecepatan tumbuh, keserempakan tumbuh dan kematian kecambah. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, bahwa pemberian mulsa berpengaruh terhadap perkecambahan mindi dengan jenis mulsa terbaik adalah plastik hitam atau transparan, sedangkan ketebalan mulsa tidak mempengaruhi terhadap perkecambahan. Benih mindi mampu berkecambah pada kondisi gelap dan terang pada kondisi suhu dan kelembaban yang tinggi.Kata kunci: kelembaban, mindi, mulsa, , suhu perkecambahan
