Abstract:
      In order to make clear the effects of plastic film-mulching in autumn and in early spring on soil water content and spring maize yield of dryland in western Liaoning,field plot experiments were conducted in Jianping Country of Liaoning Province.The results showed that plastic film-mulching in early spring and in autumn before sowing could improve the water-holding capability of soil in the depth of 15 cm.The average yield of spring maize with plastic-film mulching in autumn and in early spring and traditional cultivation was 5 814.6 kg/hm2,4 997.33 kg/hm2 and 4 069.46 kg/hm2.Compared to the traditional cultivation,plastic film-mulching in early spring and in autumn could increase the average yield by 30.01% and 18.57% and increase water use efficiency by 18.45% and 29.43% respectively.
