Popis: Film mulching agriculture in arid areas is faced with pollution caused by film mulching, and currently mainly adopts the mechanized recycling of mulch film. However, residual mulch film in the soil will bind with soil under the farming environment, which affects the recycling effect. The main factors affecting the recycling of mulch film in the soil are not clear. In order to find out the specific factors, the actual dry-wet cycle water environment was simulated by using a small soil trough system based on the film lifting, separation and recycling problem of residual mulch film in the soil. The film lifting force and recycling efficiency of the residual mulch film under the action of wet-dry cycle were studied. The following results were obtained: soil compaction, film lifting angle, and the dry-wet cycle had a significant influence on the film lifting force value, indicating that the dry-wet cycle including water fertilizer had an impact on the soil structure. After mechanical loosening, the film lifting force decreased and the recycling rate of residual mulch film increased obviously. The optimal film recycling effect could be obtained under the following conditions, namely, a film lifting angle of 21.37–45.37°, the number of dry-wet cycles 2. The experimental results can provide technical reference for residual mulch film pollution control and mechanized recycling.
