“…This can be disadvantage. While, the absences of light with black plastic mulch didn't allow photosynthesis under the film and therefore weed growth was suppressed, this result was in agreement with those found by Gorske (1979) and Vicaria (1986).…”

During two successive seasons of 1997 and 1998, water requirements of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) grown in clay soil under unheated plastic house were determined based on Class A pan method with or without polyethylene mulch. Water application of three levels were (75%, 100% and 125% of Class "A" pan) and three polyethylene mulch colors were used (Black, Silver, transparent and bare soil). The vegetative growth, i.e., plant height, leaf number, and leaf area together with yield were determined. Soil temperature was also recorded. The results showed that high level of water gave the highest vegetative growth, K content and total yield in comparison with other treatments. On the other hand high water treatment (125% of pan) resulted in a significant decrease in Na content of cucumber leaves. Concerning polyethylene mulch, results showed that silver plastic mulch gave the highest vegetative growth in comparison with clear and black polyethylene mulch but highest yield was recorded with black polyethylene mulch.

“…Information on the use of herbicides in association with mulches and particularly on the impact of mulches on herbicide performance is limited. Some studies indicate that mulches may increase the efficacy of herbicides by reducing losses to volatilization and photodegradation (Gorske, 1983;Jensen et al, 1985Jensen et al, , 1989. However, if mulching increases soil temperatures and moisture levels, there may be a corresponding reduction in efficacy related to accelerated breakdown of the herbicide via biological and nonbiological processes (Jensen et al, 1989;Savage, 1977).…”

The efficacy and cost efficiency of using various plastic soil mulches in the production of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), corn (Zea mays L.) and muskmelon (Cucumis melo L.) were examined over four growing seasons in Saskatchewan, Canada. Clear mulch with or without preemergent herbicides was compared with black or wavelength selective mulches. In all three crops, mulches enhanced yields relative to bare ground in most site-year combinations. Clear mulch usually produced the highest yields. Herbicides applied under the clear plastic provided effective weed control with no observable changes in product efficacy or toxicity to the crop. The weed control provided by the herbicides had no effect on yields in the clear mulch treatments. Consequently, clear mulch without added herbicide usually represented the most cost-effective production option for all three crops.
