Abstract
The results indicated that plots mulched with black polyethylene recorded significantly higher soil temperature and moisture percentage as compared to all other mulch material and control (no mulch). 15th December direct seeding and black polyethylene mulched plots recorded highest yield attributes and lowest disease incidence whereas, it was vice-versa in case of 15th February transplanted and control (No mulch) plots. The treatment combination of 15th December seeding and black polyethylene mulch recorded earliest fruit ripening/picking which was one month earlier as compared to the treatment combination of 15th February transplanting and control (No mulch). Highest early and late marketable yield and lowest unmarketable yield were observed under 15th December seeding and black polyethylene mulch treatment combination which were significantly superior to all other treatment combinations except late marketable and unmarketable yield observed under 15th December seeding and white polyethylene mulch treatment combination.
