Field experiment was conducted at Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Aurangabad and at farmer’s field during 2012 and 2013 to Effect of different type mulch on growth, yield attributes and yield of Brinjal (Solanum melogena). The experiment was conducted in randomized block design with three treatments viz; Black polyethylene mulch, Wheat straw mulch and no mulch (control). The result reveled that maximum plant height 78.0 cm, maximum no. of leaves per plant 366.8 and maximum number of shoots per plant 32.60 were observed in plot mulching with Black polyethylene. Maximum yield 29.5t/ha-1 of brinjal was obtained with black polyethylene mulch while, minimum yield recorded 16.5 t ha-1 in control plot. Wheat straw mulch recorded 50.30% more brinjal yield as compared with control. The benefit-cost ratio was highest (3.7) with black polythene mulch as compared to control which was (2.7). Economic comparison indicate that polythene mulch were more efficient than wheat straw mulch.

“…Reflective films have been shown to improve light distribution inside the plant canopy and improve fruit colouration, fruit size, ripening and taste, and return bloom and reduce the number of deformed fruits. The UV light reflective plastic mulch has also been reported to interfere with the movement of insects and reduce the development of viral diseases transmitted by insect vectors (Farias-Larios and Orozco-Santos, 1997;Summers et al, 2004). The red colouration of 'Fuji' apple was improved and early fruit yields increased by reflective ground covers (Andris and Crisosto, 1996).…”

Many vegetable growers would prefer to use mulches that can be produced on-farm and incorporated into soil to build soil organic matter.…”

The aim of this study was to compare the effect of PE black mulch with bare soil and hay cover against winged aphid number. In order to create management strategy in watermelon, flight dynamics of aphid population was recorded. The field experiment was set up as a randomized block design in three replications at Pula in Mediterranean region of Croatia. Aphids were collected weekly using yellow water metal traps. There were six sampling dates starting from 19 May until mulch was covered by plant canopy. We found significant difference in aphid number among the sampling dates as a result of their population dynamics on watermelon. The catches of two assessments in the second half of May were more numerous than during assessments in June. The flight maximum was recorded on 26 May and the population density significantly decreased from 9 June. There was not much effect of mulch on aphid number. However, at the peak of aphid population hay cover attracted 13% (26 May) and 18% (2 June) more aphids compared to bare soil. . maja do trenutka, ko so listi lubenic prekrili tla, smo opravili šest preštevanj. Med posameznimi datumi smo ugotovili značilno razliko med številom uši na vabah, ki je bila posledica njihove populacijske dinamike na rastlinah. Število uši v dveh preštevanjih v drugi polovici maja je bilo znato večje od števila uši naštetih v juniju. Največji nalet uši je bil ugotovljen 26. maja. Njihova razširjenost pa se je značilno zmanjšala do 9. junija. Način zastiranja tal ni statistično značilno vplival na razširjenost uši. Poudariti pa je treba, da je na vrhuncu prisotnosti uši senena zastirka privabila 13 % (26. maja) oz. 18 % (2. junija) več uši, kot smo jih našteli v obravnavanjih na golih tleh.
