Effect of mulching materials on Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baillon growth and soil characteristics

Abstract
In this study, our objective was to identify differences between mulching and non-mulching practices, as well as among various mulching materials, that could potentially impact the reduction in Schisandra chinensis (Turcz.) Baillon production, despite a consistent increase in average income, cultivation area, and demand. Our goal was to provide foundational data for the development of cultivation techniques. We conducted research using four materials: non-mulching, rice straw, black PE film, and warm cover. We investigated and analyzed various factors including S. chinensis growth, chlorophyll content, chemical composition of plants and soil, as well as soil temperature and moisture content. As a result, we found that S. chinensis growth, chlorophyll content, soil temperature, and moisture content were most favorable in the group treated with black PE film. The soil chemical composition was lowest in the untreated group. The installation of mulching has been effective in promoting growth and increasing the yield of S. chinensis. Among the mulching materials used by farmers, black PE film was observed to be relatively more effective.
