The Influence of Mulching on Spring Wheat Field Evapotranspiration in the South of the East European Plain

N. A. Shumova

Basic methodologies and calculation results of the spring wheat field evapotranspiration are considered when a traditional agricultural practice and soil mulching are used. It is shown that in individual regions of the area under study, the soil mulching can result in the reduced evapotranspiration from agricultural fields and a possible formation of overmoistening centers.
