Abstract:
      Degradation process of three PBAT (polybutylene adipate terephthalate) biodegradable mulching plastic film (A, B1 and B2) in cotton field was studied, compared with common plastic film. The effects of biodegradable plastic film on soil temperature, soil moisture content, cotton growth and yield were analyzed. The resulted revealed that the degradation rate of different types of plastic film was different, and the order of degradation rate was B1<A<B2. In the early stage of cotton growth, the biodegradable plastic film surface remained intact, and the effect of heat preservation and moisture preservation was not significant, but with the degradation and rupture of the film surface, the soil temperature and moisture content under the film began to decrease. In the later stage of cotton growth, the soil temperature and moisture content of biodegradable plastic film were lower than that of common plastic film. The bio\|degradation time of A and B2 biodegradable plastic film was earlier, which restricted the growth of cotton in the middle period, resulting in reduction of seed cotton by about 20%. However, the growth period and yield of B1 biodegradable plastic film were not different from that of ordinary PE film with the seed cotton yield increasing by 0.89%, which had good social and ecological benefits. Therefore, the B1 biodegradable film had better application potential of cotton field covering and was more suitable for cotton planting in southern Xinjiang.
