Abstract

SynopsisClear plastic soil covers increased Houston Black clay early season soil temperatures 10° F. at the 3‐inch depth and accelerated plant development sufficiently to hasten maturity and increase grain yield. Grain sorghum yields per acre varied from 62.6 cwt. on bare plots to 73.5 cwt. with a clear plastic cover. Water‐use efficiency varied from 315 pounds on bare plots to 428 with clear plastic.
