- Ultimately, regularly amending with compost lightens clay soils, thus, reducing run-off, and increases the water holding capacity of sandy soils, hence, reducing the need for water. Adding compost as a thin mulch layer over bare soils reduces water evaporation, while also reducing the need for water by garden and farm raised plants.

Aug 10, 2022 · Mulching reduces soil deterioration by limiting runoff and soil loss, and it increases soil water availability by reducing evaporation, managing soil temperature, or reducing crop irrigation requirements.
May 18, 2020 · Mulches conserve the soil moisture, enhance the nutrients status of soil, control the erosion losses, suppress the weeds in crop plants, and remove the residual effects of pesticides, fertilizers, and heavy metals. Mulches improve the aesthetic value of landscapes and economic value of crops.

Aug 17, 2023 · Mulching in association with drip irrigation in arid crop agronomy leads to mitigating vigorously water stress in agriculture. Mulch is a layer of natural or synthetic or combination material applied to the surface of the soil as a protective medium between the soil and the atmosphere.
Oct 10, 2024 · Our work demonstrates the potential for climate resilient farming through the implementation of conservation agriculture to improve soil health and sustain crop yields in a warming climate.
Aug 21, 2019 · Compost mulch decreases evaporation, increases water permeability, and enhances soil water storage in vineyard orchards (Pinamonti 1998). Mulch of compost made from municipal waste increases the percolation of rainwater by 85% and effectively reduces the runoff (Agassi et al. 1998).
