Other claims from this paper (11)
- Intervention effect Mulch raised soil temperature at 15 cm by 0.6–9.8 °C.
- Intervention effect Irrigation at 20% DASM raised soil temperature by 0.7–1.2 °C.
- Intervention effect Mulch lowered bulk density by 1.43–3.59%.
- Intervention effect Mulch increased saturated hydraulic conductivity by 3.8–41.0%.
- Intervention effect Mulch increased mean weight diameter by 6.0–20.0%.
- Intervention effect Irrigation at less soil-moisture depletion favored soil physical properties.
- Intervention effect Mulch and more frequent irrigation tended to increase relative water content and transpiration rate.
- Intervention effect Leaf temperature showed no noticeable differences under mulch and irrigation.
- Intervention effect Green gram straw mulch produced 2.6–14.2% higher grain yield.
- Intervention effect Irrigation at 20% DASM produced 1.3–9.2% higher grain yield.
- Recommendation The authors recommend green gram straw mulch at 5 t ha-1 with irrigation at 20% DASM for higher maize yield in Mollisols.
