Bitumen mulch was sprayed over maize drills in 15--20-cm bands at a thickness of 1--2 ram. The maximum soil temperature recorded at a depth of 10 cm was up to 4.3ยฐC higher in the mulched plots compared to the control plots. During the growing season the maize in the mulched plots had consistently h
In an experiment in which soil temperatures under coffee mulched with grass, clear polythene, black polythene and white polythene, were recorded at different depths, it was found that grass mulch lowered soil temperature; white polythene mulch either slightly raised soil temperature or lowered it;an
