Abstract

. The mulch effect on maize development and growth is examined and the relevance of temperature to vegetative and reproductive stages is examined. Warming mulches accelerate and cooling mulches slow seedling emergence and leaf appearance and growth. Seedling establishment is more successful, leaf area is greater and yield is generally earlier and higher over warm mulched soil.
