“…This might be because of spreading nature of watermelon and cantaloupe plants, while in chilli and tomato plants more number of side branches emerges after a certain period growth as shown in Table 2. The results are in confirmation with the findings of Singh et al [16], Aruna et al [17] in tomato, Parmar et al [18], Dean ban et al [19], Ansary and Roy. [20] in watermelon, Al-Majali and Kasrawi.…”

The present investigation was carried out with the objective to find best suited intercrop for bearing kinnow orchard at village Balsamand of district Hisar during the years 2020 and 2021. Four vegetable crops viz. watermelon, cantaloupe, chilli, tomato and control (sole kinnow) were selected as intercrops and transplanted on silver on black mulch. In mulched plots plant height/vine length, number of fruits plant-1, average fruit weight, fruit weight plant-1 and yield (q/ha) was recorded higher than without mulched plots. No significant difference in fruit length of watermelon, cantaloupe and tomato during first year and watermelon and tomato during succeeding year was recorded in mulched plots. Mulch influenced the fruit width of watermelon during both the years. The BCR ratio was recorded higher in without mulched plots in all the crops except watermelon recorded higher BCR in mulched plots during 2021. The highest benefit cost ratio in all the crops was recorded higher in without mulched plots of watermelon, cantaloupe, chilli and tomato crop (1:5.84, 1:5.17, 1:2.99 and 1:2.71) and (1:5.01, 1:5.06, 1:2.64 and 1:2.60) during 2020 and 2021, except in watermelon crop where highest benefit cost ratio (1:5.17) was observed in watermelon crop in mulched plots during 2021.

“…Among mulches, black polyethylene treatment produced significantly higher fruit yield and number of fruits per plant than organic mulches and no mulch this might be the result of weed free field, less nutrient loss through leaching favorable soil temperature and moisture [21]. Similar findings were also obtained mulched and non-mulched plots [22,23,24,25,26].…”

Mulching has become an important practice in modern field production. The use of mulches in vegetable production is undergoing a radical change away from high input, nonrenewable resources, such as plastic, to the use of high-residue organic mulches from cover crop. The purpose of this present study was to compare the growth and yield of tomato when grown under different organic and inorganic mulches. The experiment was conducted with four treatments in two consecutive years (2016-2017 and 2017-2018) at instructional farm of Sasya Shyamala Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Arapanch and different blocks of South 24 Parganas district. Among the treatments, maximum yield 60.3 t/ha and 58.7 t/ha were recorded under poly mulches in the consecutive years.

“…These results confirm the findings of Chakraborthy and Sandhu (1994). The higher fruit yield under polyethylene mulch may also be ascribed to reduced nutrient loss as a result of less weed density and improved hydrothermal regimes of soil (Rajbir Singh, 2005). Soil mulching not only reduced the soil evaporation and weed growth but also improved the aerial environment around the plants which facilitate plant growth and yield (Ajay and Shashi, 2012).…”

Mulching applications can effectively modify the plant hydrothermal micro-environment.However, the impacts of mulching on potato yield vary with climatic conditions and field managements. Mulching with different furrow irrigation methods is one of the techniques to improve soil and water productivity. A field trial was conducted to study the effect of plastic mulch and different irrigation levels on water productivity and yield attributes of tomato (Lycopersiumesculentum L)based on the objective to select most effective water management techniques and mulching types. A split plot design consists of three furrow irrigation methods (namely conventional, alternate and fixed furrow with 100% ETc) as main plot and three mulch treatments (namely, without mulch, straw mulch and plastic mulch) as sub-plot used with three replications. The irrigation method and mulching types highly significantly (p<0.01) affected the studied parameters of tomato at Haru. Maximum tomato yield was recorded from conventional furrow irrigation method which is superior than alternate and fixed furrow irrigation method. However, higher water use efficiency was obtained due to alternate furrow irrigation method. Maximum marketable yield and water use efficiency were obtained due to plastic mulch than no mulch and straw mulch for tomato at Haru. However, there was no interaction effect due to the two factors studied (irrigation type and mulching type) except water productivity. Therefore, for maximizing marketable yield and better water productivity under no water stress condition; irrigation of tomato with conventional furrow irrigation methods coupled with plastic mulch could be used. But for moisture stress scenario it is preferable to use alternate furrow with plastic mulch to achieve highest water productivity with minimum yield loss.
