The invention mainly relates to a covering cultivation method for mulching films, in particular to a covering cultivation method for biodegradable mulching films in a semi-
arid region. The covering cultivation method is mainly characterized by comprising the following steps of 1, designing in fields, 2, tidying land, ridging and flattening the ground 3, fertilizing, 4, covering the biodegradable mulching films, 5,
sowing, 6, managing in the fields, 7, harvesting, and 8, ploughing and burying mulching film residues into soil at the depth of 20-30cm instead of collecting the mulching film residues after the crops are harvested. The land tidying and ridging are carried out 7 days before crops are sowed, the covering tension of the biodegradable mulching films is 1 / 6 to 1 / 8 of the tension of ordinary mulching films, the biodegradable mulching films are 3-5mm away from the ground, and the biodegradable mulching films are covered 7 days before
sowing. The covering cultivation method has the advantages that due to the fact that the biodegradable mulching films have high
air tightness, the covered mulching films can reduce soil
moisture evaporation and increase land temperature, can increase soil
moisture, accelerates
crop growth and development, and improves
crop yield. Compared with traditional cultivation (covering-free
convection planting), a maturation stage of crops covered by the biodegradable mulching films can be brought 7-10 days forwards, and the
crop yield and the
moisture utilization rate can be respectively improved by 1-58% and 14-45%.
