The furrow sowing with whole plasticfilm mulching on double ridges has been widely used in the arid region of northwest China, because it can resist drought and increase production. It is an inevitable trend to realize and improve the whole mechanized operation level. It is mainly reflected in the research on the construction of covered film seedbed, sowing on the film, residual film recovery and harvesting crop technology and supporting equipment. Based on the analysis of adoption, technical modes and application benefits of furrow sowing with whole plasticfilm mulching on double ridges, the correlative key mechanization technical characteristics of ridging and covering film, precision sowing on film, harvesting crop and residual film recovery and representative typical machine of whole plasticfilm mulching on double ridges were reviewed. Combined with the problems and demands in actual production and application of furrow sowing with whole plasticfilm mulching on double ridges in China, on the basis of analyzing and summarizing the existing problems of agronomy and agricultural machinery, and future research emphasis and development direction were provided as following aspects: combination of agricultural machine with agronomy under furrow sowing with whole plasticfilm mulching on double ridges, continuing to strengthen basic research and supporting machine performance optimization, and forming full mechanization technical system of whole plasticfilm mulching on double ridges. It was suggested that the key to form full mechanization technical system of whole plasticfilm mulching on double ridges were development of economic and efficient full mechanization equipment and combination of depth of agricultural machine with agronomy. It was also a scientific and reasonable technology of furrow sowing with whole plasticfilm mulching on double ridges, to realize the development direction of its production system with cost saving and efficiency increasing.
