Abstract To address the issue of residual pollution caused by polyethylene mulch, this study explored the effects of different mulching methods on the soil environment of the yam field, as well as on yam yield and quality. The experiment comprised six treatments in total: one non-mulched treatment served as the control (CK), along with five different film-mulched treatments, namely PE, FZS12, FZS15, FC12, and FC15. The degradation of these films and their effects on soil physicochemical properties, microbial community, yam yield and quality were compared. The results showed that the FZS12 treatment achieved grade 5 degradation… More >
