Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetUnderstanding the benefits of soil mulching 2020
Also available in:
According to results of his demonstration tomato plot between mulching and without mulching, U Ye Tin concluded that applying the mulching practices on tomato field could conserve the soil moisture, still alive and is fruitful while the tomato plants that of control plot (without applying mulching practices) are suffering the water deficit and gradually died off when there is no rain at all about a month. It was found that the soil mulching which is one of the Climate Smart Agriculture practices is not only conserved the soil moisture and but also suppressed the growth of weed which is consequently beneficial to the crop performance of tomato plants. -
DocumentMulching to control soil erosion in Dominica 2014
Also available in:
No results found.Natural hazards, such as storms, hurricanes, and heavy rains, directly impact agricultural productivity and production in Dominica, leading to landslides and soil erosion, among others. In order to better mitigate the impacts of these hazards and prevent soil erosion, mulching can be used to protect and conserve the soil, and reduce erosion by water and wind. Mulching is a very simple and beneficial practice where organic material, such as crop residues and weeds, or inorganic material, like plastic sheets, is spread over the soil surface. -
DocumentEnhancing drought resistance through Guinea grass mulching, Jamaica 2008
Also available in:
No results found.Guinea grass mulching is one of the local drought-mitigation strategies adopted in the low-rainfall areas of Jamaica. After the land preparation dried guinea grass is applied in a matted form over the area to be cultivated. This practice helps crop to survive during the dry season without having to recur to irrigation. Moreover, this technique enhances soil moisture for germinating seeds and allows for a better crop establishment and nutrient uptake. -
