[Method] The tests of sun drying, burying and maize mulching were conducted based on 15 controllable degradable mulches in northeastern Yunnan. [Result] Of the test mulches, the induction period last the longest of 56 d, and the induction period can not be well controlled. Besides, the degradable mulches proved similar with common mulches in terms of heat preser- vation and yield increasing for crops, and performed excellently in covering strength, extension degree and toughness. Additionally, degradable mulches left few residues after maize harvesting, which would remove mulch pollution. [Conclusion] The biodegradable mulch functions well in heat preservation and yield increasing, as well as resolving the issue of plastic pollution, which is of great significance in environ- ment protection, agricultural sustainable development, and eco-agriculture, green agri- culture and modernized agriculture.展开更多
