In order to work out proper protective cultivation models suitable for Fengcheng area, experiments were conducted on the application effects of protective cultivation techniques with the traditional methods as its control group. The results show that protective cultivation can substantially improve soil moistures and the activity of microorganisms which, in turn, is likely to increase soil fertility and maize yields. The pattern of remaining high stubbles is a dominant technical model adopted in Fencheng area while the pattern of covering with smashed stalks is fit for places where the wind strength is relatively weak and the stalks are abundant.
