Soil temperature, soil moisture and maize yield from mulched and unmulched tropical soils
The effect of mulching on maize yield was investigated for luvisol and cambisol tropical soils during 1970–72. The increase in grain yield by mulching was 46, 52 and 22 per cent respectively, for 1970, 1971 and 1972. Mulched plants had higher growth rate and vigour and chlorotic symptoms of nutritio...
