Plasticulture studies were continued on bell pepper. Total marketable fruit yields of 4.85, 3.94 and 3.09 tons per acre were obtained from plants grown on silver, white, and black plastic mulches, respectively. Number of fruits produced per plant followed the same trend. Individual fruit weights of 85-117g were not significantly different among treatments. Fruit set as indicated by number of fr...

In a 2-yr study, the impacts of different plastic soil mulches, insecticides, and predator releases on Frankliniella thrips and their natural enemies were investigated in field-grown peppers. Ultraviolet light (UV)-reflective mulch significantly reduced early season abundance of adult thrips compared with standard black plastic mulch. This difference diminished as the growing seasons progressed...
