The invention discloses a terrace side wall lateral
evaporation blocking control and yield increasing binary covering method and structure, and belongs to the technical field of dry farming water and
soil conservation. In order to solve the problems of lateral migration of soil
moisture and low edge yield caused by strong
evaporation of terraced field ridges (side walls), the method adopts a'
straw and sunscreen net 'binary
coupling covering mode. The structure comprises a flat soil substrate layer, a
diffusion resistance layer formed by
crop straws, and a
radiation decoupling and fixing layer formed by a black HDPE (High-Density
Polyethylene) sunscreen net from inside to outside. According to the method, lateral
evaporation is effectively inhibited and the transverse
water potential gradient in the terrace is eliminated through multiple synergistic mechanisms such as
radiation interception and cooling by the sunscreen net,
water vapor diffusion resistance increase by the
straw layer and near-
surface wind speed weakening by the
composite structure of the sunscreen net and the
straw layer, so that soil
moisture homogenization is realized, and the yield of crops at the edge of the terrace and the rainfall utilization efficiency of the
system are remarkably improved. The method is low in cost, easy to construct, eco-friendly and suitable for dry farming terraced fields such as
loess plateau.
