Abstract/Description: | The use of polyethylene mulch in vegetable cultivation has increased the last 10 years. In India due to the benefits of maintain favorable soil temperature, reduced weed growth, moisture conservation and higher crop yields. A field experiment was conducted on tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) at Central Institute of Agricultural Engineering, Bhopal during (December-April) in 2013-14 and 2014-15, in a randomized complete block design with four replications. Treatments consisted of inorganic mulchs (red, black and silver), organic mulch and control. Results of the study indicated highest values of plant height, number of flowers per cluster, SPAD values, fruit weight, yield and soil temperature were observes red mulch followed by black and silver plastic mulch as organic mulch and control. All coloured mulching had significantly higher marketable yield of tomato compared to organic mulch and control. Marketable yield increased by 64.54% in red coloured mulched tomato followed by 57.45 % in blak, 45.40% in silver, 21.98% in organic mulched crop over control. The highest soil microbial biomass content (MBC) content were recorded in red mulch (17.2x 106) followed by black mulch (12.4 x 106) than silver (10 x 106) mulch, MBC content in organic mulch was recorded (7.2 x 106) and lowest MBC content was recorded in control (4.4 x 106). |
