Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adding straw mulch, using no-till culture, and stubble mulch farming all help to reduce evaporation from the soil surface by providing a protective layer that limits the amount of water that is exposed to the air and thus can evaporate. Plastic mulch also reduces evaporation by creating a barrier between the soil and the air. Therefore, none of the options listed increase evaporation from the soil surface.
