With the objective to figure out the availability of biodegradable film in agricultural production, three treatments including ordinary film, biodegradable film and non film were used to compare the effects of different film mulching treatments on soil moisture, heat and yield of maize based on field experiment. Results indicated that, during the initial growth stage of maize, the effects of heat and moisture preservation were significant when using the biodegradable film, there was no significant difference in comparison with those of ordinary film mulching(p > 0.05), besides, considered parameters of non film were the significantly least (p < 0.05). With in the mid-later stage of maize, the effects of heat and moisture preservation were weakened due to the degradation and damage of biodegradable film. Regarding all three mulching methods in the middle growth stage, significant differences were found in the mean soil temperature in all soil layers (p < 0.05). At the end growth stage, the effects of heat and moisture preservation of biodegradable film almost lost, no significant variations were found in the soil moisture and heat conditions, when compared to those of non film, corresponding parameters were remarkably lower than those of ordinary film (p < 0.05). Considering the yield and production of maize, no significant differences were observed between biodegradable film and ordinary film (p > 0.05), however, related parameters of both former methods were considerably higher than those of non film (p < 0.05), in this sense, associated mean yields were increased by 19.48% and 20.41%, respectively. The water use efficiencies were rose by 22.18% and 22.56%, respectively. The results are capable of providing theoretical basis for the application of biodegradable film in the agricultural production in Hetao Irrigation District.
