Abstract: Wheat straw mulching effects the yield of corn. The yield of corn mulched with wheat straw increased in 1992, when it was a rainy year. In 1993, when the mulching straw weighed less than 9. 0 tons/ha the yield of corn also increased, while corn yield decreased when the mulching straw weighed over 9. 0 tons/ha.A germinative test was carried out with water extract of wheat straw samples collected from the field, which indicated that the water-soluble toxic substances in wheat straw could get into the soil as washed by rain, and its toxity could last more than 3 months.
