Abstract: In view of the actual problem in the loess plateau region of Inner Mongolia such as unreasonable straw resource utilization and low utilization ratio,straw returning directly plot test in Qingshuihe was carried out.Under the probe into 0,3 000,6 000,12 000 kg/hm2 returning the amount of soil organic matter,the total amount of nutrients,the available nutrient and the yield change rule were studied,to clear straw returned to the effect of maize farmland soil nutrient and crop yield.The results showed that different straw mulching quantities had significant effects on soil nutrients.The straw mulching increased the content of soil organic matter,total nitrogen,total phosphorus,and total potassium,and slowed down the consumption of alkali-hydrolyzed nitrogen,available phosphorus,and available potassium.The biological yield and grain yield of 3 000,6 000,12 000 kg/hm2 were increased by 9.3%,13.1%,10.1% and 8.5%,11.4%,9.3%,respectively,compared with control.In conclusion,straw mulching can enrich soil and improve crop yield,and 6 000 kg/hm2 has the best effect,which can be used as a cultivation mode to improve the quality and efficiency in the loess plateau of Inner Mongolia.
