Mulching-Induced Alteration of Microclimatic Parameters on the Morpho-Physiological Attributes in Onion (Allium cepa L.)
The effects of mulches (rice husk, sawdust, ash and burnt soil) on soil temperature, moisture conservation of soil and to relate them with morpho-physiological attributes of onion were studied. All mulches except ash were effective in conserving soil moisture. Sawdust mulch retained soil moisture mo...
