Abstract: The semiarid is characterized by extreme heat, which affects agricultural production by limiting the soil's ability to retain water. The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of mulch on soil temperature and soil moisture in a drip irrigated banana plantation in a Brazilian semiarid region. Six thermocouples and three soil moisture probes were used, with coconut coir as mulch. Daytime and nighttime surface temperatures were compared for two mulch densities (4 and 8 t ha-1) and bare soil. Soil temperature and moisture were measured at three depths (0.1, 0.3 and 0.5 m). The study was conducted from November 2014 to March 2015. Mulch had a buffer effect on soil temperature fluctuation. Drip irrigation management associated with mulch provided a uniform moisture profile close to field capacity.
El semiárido se caracteriza por un calor extremo, que afecta la producción agrícola al limitar la capacidad del suelo para retener agua. El objetivo de este trabajo fue estudiar la influencia del mantillo sobre la temperatura y la humedad del suelo en una plantación de banano con riego por goteo en la región semiárida de Brasil. Se utilizaron seis termopares y tres sondas de humedad del suelo mientras se aplicaba mantillo de fibra de coco. Se compararon las temperaturas superficiales diurnas y nocturnas para dos densidades de acolchado y para suelo desnudo. Las mediciones se realizaron entre noviembre de 2014 y marzo de 2015. El mantillo tuvo un efecto amortiguador sobre la fluctuación de la temperatura del suelo. El manejo del riego por goteo asociado con mantillo proporcionó con éxito un perfil de humedad uniforme cercano a la capacidad de campo.
