“…On the other hand, Singh et al reported that mulch could improve leaf photosynthetic capacity beside the role of polyethylene for enhanced root growth, as well as, absorption of each of water and nutrients and thereby, enhanced metabolic activities within plant during the period of growth and reproduction process, which possessed much shoot number per plant and width leaf area with high leaf chlorophyll content as mentioned before that induced more photosynthetic rates. This in turn built high yield of carbohydrates which gave rise to more cell division and enlargement inducing more vegetative vigorous plants ,this reflect to produce more total yield as mentioned by Our results are in agreement with those results obtained with [28]on pepper and [32]on tomato [33][34][35][36][37]. …”

This investigation was carried out in a private farm located at Shebeen El-Qanatir city, El-Qaliubiya governorate, Egypt during the two successive seasons (2011/2012 and 2012/2013 A.D.) to study the response of husk tomato plants (Physalis pubescens L.) cv. (local variety) to polyethylene mulching black and double face (white on black). A bare soil plot of equal area was also maintained with raised beds un-mulched as a control. Seedlings were transplanted forty days after sowing into open field transplanting carried out in 60 cm apart on the row among plants. Results showed that the significant maximum value of plant height, stem diameter, number of branches per plant and leaf area were obtained from white on black mulching treatment followed in a descending order by black treatment, while bare soil treatment recorded the minimum significantly value in both seasons. Results appeared that the significant maximum value of total soluble solids, vitamin C, total sugar and total carotenoids were obtained from white on black mulching treatment followed by black treatment, while bare soil treatment recorded the minimum value in both seasons. On the other hand, no significant different for total acidity and dry matter were recorded among mulching treatments in both seasons. Results appeared that the significant maximum value of number of fruit/ plant, total yield and early yield per plot were obtained from (white on black) mulching treatment followed in a descending order by black treatment, while bare soil treatment recorded the minimum value in both seasons.

“…The silver/black and black plastic mulch blocked the weeds, except a few, which emerged through the planting holes. This result is consistent with the findings of Reference [22] and [1]. Similar results were found for weed density.…”

“…Reference [14] reported that tomato grown under irrigation in semi-arid zone of northern Nigeria benefited greatly from mulches. The highest weed dry weight was recorded in transparent plastic mulch and the lowest in black plastic [1]. Black mulch effectively stops weed growth by intercepting nearly all-incoming radiation.…”

Abstract-In 2010, Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) was grown on polyethylene mulch films and bare soil for evaluate the effect of colored plastic mulches on weed and crop yield. The plastic mulches were blue, black, clear, red and silver on black. Black and silver/black plastic mulches suppressed weeds which were encouraged under clear, blue and red mulches. Results indicated that soil temperature increased under the various colored plastic mulches about 3 to 6 ˚C more than it in bare soil. Number of branches and leaves were better for the plants grown over plastic compared to bare soil. The highest early yield was obtained in clear plastic likely due to light entrance and raising soil temperature. Mulching increased marketable yield relative to bare soil as the plants grown on silver/black plastic mulch indicated a 65% increasing in marketable mulch compared to control treatment. The plastic mulches resulted in an 84-98% reduction in weed biomass.Index Terms-Mulching, soil temperature, weed dry weight, early yield.

“…Similarly, Veeranna et al, (2001) recorded a yield increase of 9 per cent with the adoption of drip irrigation over furrow method. The increase in yield might be due to better proportion of air-soil-water and suppressed weed growth which was maintained throughout the life period of crop in plastic mulching and drip fertigation @ 120% RDF as reported by Ashrafuzzaman et al, (2011). The increased yield in fertigation treatments might be due to better availability of plant nutrients and irrigation water throughout the crop growth period under drip fertigation system.…”
