“…Similar trend in yield were also reported by Singh and Kumar (2009). Sari et al (1994) reported similar findings in cucumber. Mulch increased the yield of crop plants by 7.2 % over non mulched plants.…”

An investigation was undertaken to study the impact of date of sowing and mulching under low tunnel conditions on the growth, yield and quality of direct sown muskmelon during 2019-20 and 2020-21 at Vegetable Research Farm and Biochemical Laboratory of Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana. Treatments were comprised of four dates of sowing (15th November, 15th December, 15th January under low tunnels and 15th February in open conditions) and two mulch treatments (black polythene mulch and non-mulch). Muskmelon hybrid, MH-27 planted on 15th November gave higher number of fruits (4.0), highest total yield (216.6 q/ha), ascorbic acid (22 mg/100g) and dry matter (8.6 %). 15th January planting gave highest vine length (186.8 cm), maximum fruit diameter (17.6 cm), maximum fruit weight (830.3 g) and TSS (12 °Brix). Mulched plants exhibited better growth, yield and quality when compared with non-mulch plants. It is concluded that muskmelon sown under low tunnel on 15th November with black polythene mulch offers higher yield and maximum net returns and B: C ratio.

“…Buczkowska et al, (1994) revealed that total yield under low tunnel was higher than under open conditions. Sari et al, (1994) reported that increase in yield under low tunnel was due to increase in harvesting span in cucumber. Fruit number per plant was recorded more under protected conditions and it was significantly higher than open field crop.…”

“…It influenced the watermelon crop at all growth stages as it reproduced through higher plant biomass and subsequently the fruit yield (Siwek and Capecka, 1999). Sari et al, (1994) reported that increase in yield under low tunnel was POONAM ET AL S93 due to increase in harvesting span in cucumber. The maximum fruit yield in S 1 C 1 over the other treatment combinations of sowing time and covering material non-woven, insect-net and no covering were attributed due to higher fruit weight, number of fruits per plant.…”

Field trial was carried out at sericulture farm of RCA, Udaipur to investigate the response on growth and yield parameters of watermelon grown on different sowing time under low tunnel covered by different covering material during two consecutive years, i.e. 2020-21 & 2021-22 and also in pooled analysis. Watermelon crop was sown at three sowing date (i.e. S 1 : 15 th December, S 2 : 30 th December and S 3 : 15 th January) and four covering materials (i.e. C 0 : no covering, C 1 : covering with polythene sheet, C 2 : covering with non-woven and C 3 : covering with insect net)were used for covering of low tunnels for off season(i.e. winter season) grown watermelon during both the years, i.e. 2020-21 and 2021-22. Distinctmeteorological parameters were observedin asystematicway under each treatment combination. Results showed that comparatively higher range of air temperature, relative humidity and light intensity were observed under treatment S 1 C 1 (i.e. sowing date of 15 th December + covering of polythene sheet) which influenced the growth of watermelon at all stages as reproduced through higher plant biomass and subsequently the fruit yield.
