Mulching is the prominent process of soil moisture conservation from evaporation by placing polyethylene sheets, grass, and crop residues at the top of the soil. It helps to improve the quality of soil by reducing soil erosion and weed growth, regulating soil temperature, improving aeration, and supplying nutrients to the roots. Moreover, it also reduces the upward movement and accumulation of salts in the root zone, which helps to increase crop yields (Abd El‐Mageed et al. 2016).
