Abstract:
      With the purpose of investigating the dynamic effects of different kinds of plastic-film mulching on soil moisture and water use efficiency of winter wheat, plastic flm,biodegradable film and liquid film were selected to con-duct a locating experiment of rainfall harvesting in the whole growth period in Weibei dryland of Shaanxi. The results in-dicated that plastic-film mulching can increase the soil moisture,crop yield and water use efficiency, and it can also im- prove soil water storage. Treated with plastic film and biodegradable film covering, the moisture storage of 0~ 200 cm soil increased during full period of experiment , which showed a significant difference (P<0.05) compared with the liq- uid film covering treatment and no covering treatment (CK); treated with plastic film and biodegradable film covering can observably increase the soil miosture, but the effect of liquid film is instable; besides, treated with plastic flm and biodegradable film covering, the crop yield of winter wheat increased respectively by 38 .01 % and 36 .28 % , and mean-while,the water use efficiency increased by 19 .85% and 16.85%(P< 0.05). Therefore , plastic film utilization can improve crop yield and increase water storage.
