In order to study the high-efficiency film mulching method for water and temperature increase in spring maize farmland in cold and arid areas, a field experiment was conducted to analyze the spatial distribution of soil moisture, temperature and yield effects under different film mulching methods. The result showed that the average temperature of 0-20 cm soil layer in the growth period of spring maize is 19.76-23.12 °C; white full film＞black full film＞black half film＞white half film＞CK, and the film treatment increased by 17.00%, 13.49%, 6.21%, 3.21%, respectively. The temperature decreased with the increase of soil depth, which was consistent with the decay kinetics process. The average moisture content of 0-20 cm soil layer in spring maize growth period is 12.01%-16.21%;black full film＞white full film＞black half film＞white half film＞CK. Compared with CK, plastic film mulching increased 36.72%, 34.88%, 15.95%, 10.62%, respectively. The root dry weight, stem dry weight, dry weight of leaves and dry weight of the whole white film in each growth period were higher than other treatments, spring maize yield is white full film＞black full film＞white half film＞black half film＞CK, which increased 39.06%, 32.37%, 9.99%,4.23%, respectively. There was a significant positive correlation between soil moisture content and temperature and spring maize biomass during jointing stage. White whole film had the best effect in temperature increase at seedling stage and jointing stage, and the highest temperature utilization black whole film has the best effect in temperature increase during the tasseling and maturity stages, and the water use efficiency is the highest of 6.59%. The optimal film-mulching method for spring maize water-saving in the cold and arid regions of Northwest Hebei is white fullfilm coverage.
