Plastic mulch increased minimum temperature of soil, accelerated plant height,early growth, early yield, and bring satisfactory weed control without anyapplication of herbicides. This experiment was laid out on three-factorialRandomized Complete Block Design with three replications during 2008-2010 atthe National Rice Research Institute, Rasht, Iran using three kinds of mulches(Transparent and ...

The soil water supply is the main factor that limits dryland crop production in China. In a three-year field experiment at a dryland farming experimental station, we evaluated the effects of various straw mulch practices on soil water storage, grain yield, and water use efficiency (WUE) of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum). Field experiments were conducted with six different mulch combinations (...

Beans are vegetables that widely cultivated in Indonesia. The growth of beans is determined by internal and external factors. factor affects the availability nutrients. Vermicompost an organic fertilizer can be used to increase growth. Research has been carried out on Analysis Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) Growth Due Treatment Different Types Mulch. This study aims determine: (1) effect type mulch ...

The greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of black polyethylene (PE) plastic mulch on yield and some quality parameters tomato. In study, PE material laid raised beds bare soil (not mulched) used as control. Mulch did not affect plant height, fruit shape index, chroma hue angle, firmness, soluble solids content, titratable acidity. Black had a positive influence yield. Sign...
