Comparison of Materials for Reducing Evaporation of Soil Moisture in Water Efficiency Studies1

A. K. Dobrenz, D. F. Cole and R. J. Joy2

Coarse styrofoam was a non-toxic, permeable, lightweight material which reduced evaporation from the soil surface by 78% compared with bare soil. This material is easy to apply and allows for uniform evaporation under controlled environmental conditions which have high temperatures and low humidity.

Key Words: water-use efficiency
