The effectiveness of mulch treatments on soil quality as well as on the yield and growth rates of bamboo are major considerations and require further attention. The present work was aimed at assessing the impacts of three different mulch materials on soil available nutrients, biochemical traits, and growth patterns of Munro. We found that relative to the control (CK), bamboo leaves (MB) and organic fertilizers (MF) treatments significantly ( < 0.05) increased the number of bamboo shoots (47.5 and 22.7%) and yield (21.4 and 9.1%), respectively. We observed that under MB and MF treatments, the concentrations of soil available nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) increased and played a key role in the differences in chlorophyll, leaf carbohydrate contents (soluble sugar and starch) and were essential to promote bamboo shoot development. Furthermore, we infer from principal component analysis (PCA), that both MB and MF appear to be a better choice than rice husks (MR) to improve nutrient availability, biochemical traits of the leaves, and increased bamboo shoot productivity. Consequently, we suggest using organic fertilizers and bamboo leaves as mulch materials are effective for soil conservation to attain high-quality bamboo production.
覆盖处理对土壤质量以及竹子产量和生长速率的有效性是主要考虑因素，需要进一步关注。本研究旨在评估三种不同覆盖材料对毛竹土壤有效养分、生化特性和生长模式的影响。我们发现，相对于对照（CK），竹叶（MB）和有机肥（MF）处理分别显著（<0.05）增加了竹笋数量（47.5%和22.7%）和产量（21.4%和9.1%）。我们观察到，在MB和MF处理下，土壤有效养分（氮、磷和钾）的浓度增加，这在叶绿素、叶片碳水化合物含量（可溶性糖和淀粉）的差异中起关键作用，并且对促进竹笋发育至关重要。此外，我们从主成分分析（PCA）推断，MB和MF在提高养分有效性、叶片生化特性和增加竹笋生产力方面似乎比稻壳（MR）是更好的选择。因此，我们建议使用有机肥和竹叶作为覆盖材料对土壤保持有效，以实现高质量竹子生产。
