Performance of different mulching materials on soil moisture content, weed infestation and growth of maize (Zea mays L.)

Two field experiments were conducted at Yezin farm and Sepin research farm, Yamenthin, Myanmar to investigate the effect of different mulching materials on growth, soil moisture weed infestation maize identify most
 farms, Yamethin, most suitable for cultivation in study areas during dry season (October, 2019 March, 2020). The used randomized complete block design (RCB) with three replications. No six materials, including rice straw mulching, husk stover mung bean soybean white plastic polyethylene tested. NK-621 (120 days) was as tested variety. Different showed higher plant height SPAD value than no whereas highest both locations. LAI achieved from Yezin. At maximum (2.19) recorded growth stage (MGS), (2.71) observed tasseling (TS). crop rate (CGR) (13.31 gm-2day-1) (14.19 Yamethin. Soil content significantly among two White minimal infestation. According results, is best all parameters treatments Yamethin areas.
