Soybean film mulching has shown promise in maintaining consistent and high yields in semi‐arid regions. However, the specific impacts of full‐film and semi‐film mulching on soybean growth, root nodule traits and grain yield are poorly understood. This 2‐year study (2021–2022) investigates the effects of full‐film and semi‐film mulching on soil moisture, soybean growth and yield. Our findings revealed that semi‐film mulching increased soybean yield by 18.12% compared to full‐film mulching, averaged across 2 years. Furthermore, the semi‐film treatment significantly enhanced biological nitrogen fixation ability, increasing root nodule numbers by 24.81%–33.43%, compared to full‐film mulching. This improvement also positively affected soybean quality, with crude protein content increasing by 5.89% in 2021 and 4.14% in 2022 compared to full‐filming. Moreover, semi‐film mulching helped maintain soil moisture and temperature during later soybean growth stages. There findings suggest that semi‐film mulching is a viable agricultural strategy for soybean cultivation in semi‐arid regions, improving soybean quality and efficiency while promoting environmental sustainability.

“…However, the most commonly used material is plastic, as it is highly resistant compared to others (Crawford and Quinn 2017). Different colours of plastic have various effects on the hydrothermal environment of the soil and crop growth due to their distinct physical properties (Zhang et al 2023). Black plastic mulching, for instance, absorbed more than 90% of solar radiation, warming the soil (Strik et al 2006), while white plastic mulching re ected a high proportion of solar radiation, decreasing soil temperature and increased canopy light intensity and air temperature (Andreotti et al 2010).…”

Aims The lemon cultivation methods and techniques are crucial to ensure maximum productivity in the face of climate change. Mulching with plastic is commonly used in citrus production for saving water, but some side effects need to be investigated. In our study, we investigated different plastic and biological mulching on lemon trees determining growth and physiological parameters in relation to soil chemical and biological composition. Methods The experiment was divided into four different lines with ten trees per treatment, the effect of mulching with white and black plastic film, dry pruning mulching respect to a non-mulched treatment of lemon tree orchard during a crop season. The impact of these treatments on vegetative growth, stomatal gas exchange and mineral nutrition on plant and soil bacterial communities were evaluated. Results Our results showed that the type of mulching significantly influenced in the parameters studied. All mulching treatments increased temperature and soil moisture levels; plastic mulching treatments had significantly higher values in terms of intrinsic water use efficiency; while mulching with dry pruning showed higher microbial activity and higher soil nutrient concentration, leading to increased water use efficiency and productivity. Conclusion The results showed that different methods of mulching affected the physiology of lemon trees interacting in a complex way to determine their growth. Specifically, mulching using dry pruning improved the exchange of gases in the plant and plant nutrition which was related to the biological soil health.

Rice, a crucial staple in China, is cultivated through various techniques, including seedling transplanting, dry direct seeding, and film mulching. Despite its significance, rice production is a considerable environmental burden. Using a life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology, this study aimed to evaluate the environmental impacts of four rice cultivation methods (transplanting rice, dry direct-seeding rice, dry direct-seeding rice with polyethylene film (PE), and dry direct-seeding rice with biodegradable film) in Northeast China. The results indicate that the magnitude of environmental impacts among treatments was consistent across years. The potential values of all environmental impacts of the four different cultivation methods of rice in the 2021 field trial were smaller than the results of the same cultivation method of rice system in the 2022 field trial. Among the four rice cultivation methods, the consumption of energy showed inconsistency over the two years, with the highest energy consumption in the first year being for dry seeding with PE film and in the second year for dry seeding without film. Additionally, transplanting exhibited the highest impact on water resource consumption and climate change. Dry direct-seeding rice displayed the highest eutrophication and ecotoxicity. Dry direct-seeding rice with a biodegradable film had the least impact in terms of acidification. Moreover, dry direct-seeding rice with a biodegradable film minimized water consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without compromising yield.
