Abstract

Lack of water limits the production of crops. In order to evaluate water and economic indicators and soil characteristics of pea under plasticulture and planting bed, a factorial experiment was conducted at Razi University in 2019 and 2020 crop years. The studied factors included plasticulture (without nylon, nylon on the plant and nylon on the soil) and the method of planting in the bed (flat, half-meter furrow, and one-meter furrow). The results showed that the plots with plastic mulch on the soil with a half-meter furrow had the highest soil moisture due to the retention of soil water in most growth stages. According to the two indicators of net profit per unit of water consumed and net income of pea in two years, the nylon treatment along with ridge and furrow, especially treatment of nylon on soil and half-meter furrow, has increased these two indicators, so this treatment can be recommended to increase the farmer's income and preserve soil water resources. It is recommended to use permanent ridge and furrow to reduce costs in future research.
