The invention discloses a side-mulching-film rainwater-collecting drought-resistant high-yield cultivation technique for coix lacryma. According to the technique disclosed by the invention, a wide-narrow-row side-mulching-film rainwater-collecting drought-resistant high-yield cultivation technique for the coix lacryma is researched, the purposes of saving production costs and improving per unit yield are achieved, and the method has higher scientific value and broad application prospects in promoting cost saving and synergy of raw material production of the coix lacryma, improving planting benefits and scale and level of a coix lacryma industry, and enhancing development potential, and aims to solve the problems that in a main producing area of the coix lacryma, drought is severe in earlyspring, the area has no irrigation conditions, an emergence rate of the coix lacryma is low, manpower and material resources required for planting are more, labor force is lacked, labor force price isincreased, management is extensive, production costs are high, and per unit yield of the coix lacryma is low.
