Abstract
Mulching is essential for high-quality,
fresh-eating maize production.
This work fabricated biodegradable mulch films by blow molding from
poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) blended
with various additives and evaluated their field performance in Nanjing.
Under consistent field management, we systematically monitored the
dynamic degradation of four film formulations and their effects on
fresh-eating maize yield. The film performance ranked JAAS-II >
JAAS-I
> JAAS-III > JAAS-IV > polyethylene (PE) mulch. JAAS-II was
the optimal
formulation for fresh-eating maize cultivation under natural climatic
conditions in Nanjing, Jiangsu. This finding offers scientific support
for addressing the scenario-matching challenge in practical biodegradable
mulch applications.
