The experiment showed the summer corn cultivation of combinating bed-planting with strew mulching markedly increased the amount of soil water storage from 0~40 cm deep soil profile,especially in the scope of 5~10 cm,in contrast with the flatting cropping system.

The results indicated that the optimal technical combination for the moderate infiltration soil area being suitable to film mulch on ridges was: hole diameter 5cm,film ho.

Study on corn no-till planting mode of double ridge mulching "one film used for two years" on dryland;

The effect of winter cover crop on soil organic carbon and crop yield;

The influence of cover crops and tillage system on fungal biomass in soil

Cover crops can improve the water holding ability of soil; however, its effect o n soil hardness depends on the moisture content of soil.

As a new soil management method in the arid, semi-arid and semi-humid drought area, mulch tillage could improve soil environment by reduced tillage, no tillage, subsoiling and mulching, and then achieve the goal of sustainability of soil quality for high and stable yield.
