Abstract
The present investigation was carried out during winter season of 2018-19 at Experimental Farm, Department of Horticulture, Udai Pratap Autonomous College, Varanasi (U.P.) in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Different mulching material such as Black polythene, White polythene, Sugarcane leaves, Mango leaves, Paddy straw and Wheat straw with control were used as treatment. Observations were recorded on soil moisture, soil temperature, vegetative, reproductive, yield and quality related parameters. On the basis of recorded observations, it is found that the performance of the T4 (Black polythene of 200 gauge) was better in soil moisture parameter 14.04%, soil temperature 22.85°C and also all growth parameters such as plant height (35.04, 68.35 and 79.97 cm), number of branches per plant (7.50), diameter of main stem (0.88, 1.85 and 1.88 cm) at 45, 60and 75 DAT, reproductive parameter such as number of flower per cluster (9.80, 9.70, 9.40), number of fruit per plant (6.60, 7.20 and 6.80), yield parameter viz. diameter of tomato (3.0 cm), weight of tomato (114.30g), yield of tomato kg / plot (17.20 kg) yield of tomato q / ha(353.90 q)and quality parameter such as total soluble solids (4.57 brix), ascorbic acid mg/100g fresh weight (33.40 mg) showed highly significant performance. The treatment T4 (Black polythene of 200 gauge) performed as the best mulching material for growth, reproductive, yield and quality characters for commercial production of Tomato followed by T2 (Clear polythene mulch50µ) is considered as the another best mulching material.
