Abstract: On basis of introducing importance of different irrigation modes and farmland mulching measures, effects of irrigation modes and new mulching materials on farmland soil physical environment and soil enzyme activities were briefly described according to research results of different irrigation modes and new mulching materials on farmland soil environment in recent years． On this basis, some problems existing in new mulching material and irrigation mode and their solutions were analyzed． Finally, future research direction of farmland irrigation and mulching had prospected to provide reference and basis for coupling research of farmland irrigation mode and mulching technology．
