Research Progress on Effects of Returning Maize Straws into Soil on Soil Physical & Chemical Characters and on Development and Yield of Wheat as Succeeding Crop
Patterns and methods of returning maize straws into soil, and the effects of returning maize straws into soil were comprehensively reviewed on soil physical characters, soil moisture content,contents of soil organic matters and mineral nutrients, activities of microbes and enzymes, as on plant growth and development, grain yield and its components,grain quality, and pests and diseases in the field of wheat as succeeding crop as well. Furthermore, current obstacles to returning maize straws into soil in wheat production practice were discussed, and several suggestions to those obstacles and prospects on yield-increasing mechanism of returning maize straws into soil and corresponding techniques were also put forward.
