Field Crops Res, 2014, 156:40–47 [26]Zhang S F, Chai S X, Lin Y C, Chang L, Yang C G. Effects of plastic film mulching patterns on soil moisture and spring wheat yields in drought years.
2022-4-3 · pF is the logarithmic value of soil moisture tension expressed in centimeters height of water column required to produce a suction with which water is held by the soil. Soil moisture is commonly expressed in terms of pF values, whose numerical values are the same as pH values denoting hydrogen ion concentration.
2008-1-3 · Soil moisture retained at 15 atmospheres pres-sure (wilting point) was determined by the pres-sure-merane method (Richards 1947). Undis-turbed cores in triplie were obtained to deter-mine bulk density and soil moisture retained at 0 and 0.06 atmosphere tension using the method of Learner and Shaw (1941). Soil moisture re-
Field experiments were carried out to study the effects of plastic film mulching on soil temperature and moisture, and on yield formation of spring wheat. The results showed that plastic film mulching could increase soil temperature with "U" variances in the whole growth period of spring wheat. Plastic film mulching could also increase soil available water by restraining evaporation …
Effects of two degradable films on soil temperature, moisture and maize growth were same as those of plastic film, with higher soil moisture in 0-20 cm and 20-40 cm profile and higher soil
2017-8-16 · Information about the effect of plastic film mulching (PFM) on the soil microbial communities of rainfed regions remains scarce. In the present study, Illumina Hiseq sequencer was employed to
2021-9-1 · The preservation experiment on cherry tomatoes showed that the CSC films exhibited a certain freshness effect, which maintained higher hardness and lower weight loss rate within two weeks than polyethylene films. The nature degradation of the films showed that the soil biodegradability rate reached 70 % in 28 days.

2022-4-5 · Tensiometers measure the matric potential of soil moisture in situ (field) with the use of a porous clay cup attached to a tube filled with water. The water in the cup and tube is attached to a vacuum gauge or a mercury manometer (Fig. 7.10). As the soil dries, water moves out through the porous cup, creating a suction or vacuum on the water
Soil Moisture Conservation Techniques Implementation. There are a variety of methods that can be used to conserve soil moisture. Most of these soil moisture conservation techniques are relatively low cost and complexity approaches, primarily relying on the presence of required materials and technical capacity locally. Many of the methods rely
2019-4-30 · Plastic film (PF) is a common soil mulching material used worldwide in crop production. In recent years there is an increasing demand for reducing the use of PF because of potential environmental- and ecological-risks. Although biodegradable paper (BP) and bio-based film (BB) have been used as alternatives to PF, little information is available
2020-11-9 · The soil moisture content ranged from 5.9 % in March to 24.24 % August in the bottom hill (15-30 cm depth). The moisture content in the non-mulched field was lower than the mulched field. . Key words: Plastic film mulch, soil moisture, soil organic carbon, hill region Introduction Pineapple [Ananas comosus (L.) Merr.],

2020-6-15 · Soil moisture can be measured using a variety of different techniques: gravimetric, nuclear, electromagnetic, tensiometric, hygrometric, among others [read about the specifics types of soil moisture sensors here].The technique explored here uses a gravimetric technique to calibrate a capacitive-type electromagnetic soil moisture sensor.
2022-4-4 · Close the container with its cap to avoid loss of moisture. 3. Take the weight of the coined mass (g) of the closed container and moist soil (W2). 4. Remove the cap from the top of the can and place it on the bottom (of the …
【Method】The soil moisture content, soil nutrients, soil temperature and corn yield were measured by using plastic film mulching, non-mulching and corn straw mulching. 【Result】 The results showed that straw mulching and plastic film mulching had better soil moisture preservation effect, both of which were better than non-mulching.
2020-11-17 · Moisture conservation • Plastic film with its moisture barrier properties does not allow the soil moisture to escape Water that evaporates from the soil surface under mulch film, condenses on the lower surface of the film and falls back as droplets.
Moisture in damp soil, such as in a crawl space, can evaporate into the air, raise the relative humidity in that space, and enter the building as a vapor. Ground moisture: The saturated moisture in the ground as a result of surface run-off and naturally occuring water tables. Ground moisture can penetrate through cracks and holes in foundation
