Plastic Film Mulching Sustains High Maize (<i>Zea mays</i> L.) Grain Yield and Maintains Soil Water Balance in Semiarid Environment
Ridge–furrow cultivation with plastic film mulching has been widely used for many years to increase crop yields in semiarid regions. The long-term effects of plastic mulching on crop yield and soil water balance need to be seriously considered to assess the sustainability of this widely used field m...
