Sažetak
The nonwoven fabrics were produced from recycled viscose and PLA fibres, on cards bonded by a needle-punching process, to investigate the influence of the mulches on soil temperature and humidity as well as lettuce growth and yield. In the spring of 2022, the mulches were placed on the soil by randomly arranged blocks of four replication plots including a conventional agro foil. On each subplot, 20 lettuce seedlings were planted. The soil temperature and humidity beneath nonwoven mulches were recorded once per week during the whole experiment. After harvesting, the weight of the fresh lettuce head and root were measured. Significantly heaviest fresh lettuce heads on plots covered by nonwoven mulch made of viscose fibres regarding fields covered by mulches made of PLA fibres were recorded. The lettuce yield in the field mulched with viscose nonwoven mulch is 13.6% higher comparing to field mulched with conventional agro foil. By choosing the suitable fibre type and nonwoven mulches structure parameters, the temperature and humidity of the soil can be influenced consequently increasing the lettuce yield.
