Abstract: The study, with randomized block design, measured the effects of different mulching materials which included biodegradable film (S), plastic film (D), corn straw (J), liquid film (Y) and bare land on soil water, temperature and corn growth in Weibei rainfed tableland, which would be as the basis of mulching cultivation in this area. The results showed that soil moisture in different mulchings showed different characteristics after Heading and filling stage of corn, soil average moisture (40–60 cm) of J mulching was evidently (P<0.05) higher than that of control treatment and other mulchings; water deprivation of S and D mulchings was improved in the deeper soil layers (60–120 cm). ....
