Abstract/Description: | To study the effect of different mulching material and mulch color on growth and yield of watermelon an experimental investigation have been undertaken during 2015-16. Organic mulch (paddy straw) and six different colors plastic mulch film of 30 micron were used in the study by adopting drip irrigation. Plant growth and yield parameters were found to be higher with silver polyethylene mulch while, plants without mulch (control) resulted poor growth and yield. Water and fertilizer use efficiency were found to be 60% higher over the no mulch condition. Economic analysis of the study indicated that the adoption of silver mulch in watermelon production resulted in highest net returns. |
