Straw mulching for enhanced water use efficiency and economic returns from soybean fields in the Loess Plateau China

Abstract Water shortages threaten agricultural sustainability in the semi-arid areas of the Loess Plateau. Judicious mulching management can improve water conservation practices to alleviate this issue while increasing crop productivity. We investigated the effect of straw strip mulching and film mu...
