“…The increase in plant height [35] with mulching might be due to the decomposition of organic matter, with the subsequent releases of available nutrients to the plants from the soil, resulted in increased growth of the plants. Application of mulch also significantly produced maximum plant height as compared to non-mulch [36]. Also, [37] found that plants cultivated on mulched soil were higher than plants from the control plot; however, treatments consisting of mulch and row covers produced significantly higher plants than treatments without row covers.…”

Field experiments were carried out to study the role of various planting depths i.e. 10, 15 and 20 cm along with mulching on growth and yield attributes of autumn potato crop sown at different dates 15 and 29) at Horticulture Research Farm, The University of Agriculture Peshawar, during 2014-15 and 2015-16. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with split plot arrangement. Sowing dates were kept in main plot, while planting depth and mulching were in sub plot. The two years average results revealed that sowing dates, planting depth, mulch treatments and their interactions have significant effects on potato growth and yield parameters. Potato crop sown earlier on October 01 showed maximum plant height (50.4 cm), number of leaves plant -1 (33) and marketable tuber yield (16.2 t ha -1 ). Regarding planting depths, tuber planted at a depth of 15 cm produced maximum emergence (86 %), plant height (45.5 cm), number of leaves plant -1 (32) and marketable tuber yield (13.8 t ha -1 ) as compared to tubers planted at a depth of 10 and 20 cm. Mulching resulted in maximum emergence (83 %), plant height (42.6 cm), number of leaves plant -1 (30) and marketable tuber yield (13.6 t ha -1 ) as compared to no mulching. The interaction effect of sowing dates, planting depth and mulching significantly affected all the growth and yield parameters. Therefore, it can be concluded from the results that early sowing of potato crop on October 01 at a depth of 15 cm with organic mulching resulted in better growth and yield of autumn potato crop under the climatic condition of Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

“…The increase in total tuber yield with mulch treatment could be due to the positive role of organic mulching in soil fertility through microbial decomposition, and Mulching significantly produced 24.0% higher tuber yield (18.6t ha -1 ) than no mulch (14.9t ha -1 ) (Begum and Saikia, 2014). This might be due to better plant growth under mulch.…”

Series of experiments were conducted to study the role of various planting depths i.e. 10, 15 and 20cm along with mulching on yield of autumn potato crop sown at different dates (October-01, 15 and 29). The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with split plot arrangement. The two years average results revealed that sowing dates, planting depth, mulch treatments and their interactions have significant effects on potato yield and quality parameters. Potato crop sown earlier on October 01 showed maximum number of large size tubers plant -1 (2.5) and total tuber yield (21.9t ha -1 ) than late sown plants. Delay sowing resulted in maximum number of aerial stems plant -1 (4.2) and number of small size tubers plant -1 (3.9).Regarding planting depths, tuber planted at a depth of 15cm produced maximum number of aerial stems plan -1 (3.7), number of large size tubers plant -1 (2.3) and total tuber yield (18.6t ha -1 ) as compared to tubers planted at a depth of 10 and 20cm. Mulching resulted in maximum number of aerial stems plant -1 (3.7), number of large size tubers plant -1 (2.2) and total tuber yield (18.4t ha -1 ) as compared to no mulching. Therefore, it can be concluded from the results that early sowing of potato crop on October 01 at a depth of 15cm with organic mulching resulted in better yield of autumn potato crop under the climatic condition of Peshawar, Pakistan.

“…Begum and Saikia [15] have demonstrated through their research that a variety of plant traits are significantly influenced by the timing of irrigation application. The highest plant height (56.13 cm), leaf count (60.60), and tuber yield (18.03 t ha-1) were reported, especially when irrigation was provided at crucial times.…”

Vegetable growth and productivity are influenced by watering techniques and different kinds of mulch. The current study reviewed drip irrigation that used different irrigation volumes (V, 0.7V, and 0.9V) in drip treatments. Transparent mulch resulted in higher soil temperatures compared to black mulch. The study or situation involved the use of black mulch, which is a type of mulching material often used in agriculture. The use of black mulch caused the soil temperature to rise. The increase in soil temperature ranged from 2.6 to 5.5 degrees Celsius (°C). This indicates a considerable temperature difference. The moisture content in the non-mulched plots was found to be higher than that in the mulched ones. The utilization of plastic mulch resulted in water conservation ranging from 26% to 36% across various treatment conditions. In comparison to the control treatment, all treatment groups that used black mulch saw increased yields. By maximising water use, the use of mulching and drip irrigation in vegetable cultivation offers the potential to lower cultivation costs.
