“…Silver-black mulching film with bed size 9×1 m 2 recorded significant maximum plant height (183.63 cm) which was statistically on par with silver-black mulching film with bed size 6×1 m 2 and silver-black mulching film with bed size 3×1 m 2 whereas, pine needle mulch with bed size 3×1 m 2 recorded a minimum plant height (168.27 cm) (Table 1). According to Verma and Sarnaik (2006) plastic mulch has demonstrated superior performance than the dry grass and palash leaves, supporting the findings of the present study with higher soil moisture content and temperature (Thakur et al, 2019), resulting in nutrient availability and nutrient uptake.…”

The present investigation was carried out in the Department of Vegetable Science, Dr. YS Parmar University of Horticulture and Forestry, Nauni, Solan, Himachal Pradesh, India during kharif, May, 2020–January, 2021 to examine the effect of different mulches and bed sizes on the growth, yield and quality of turmeric. The trial was laid out in randomized complete block design (factorial) with 9 treatment combinations, including 3 mulches (silver-black mulching film, pine needles and dry grass) with 3-bed sizes (9×1 m2, 6×1 m2 and 3×1 m2), which were triplicated. Turmeric yield proved to be significantly affected by mulching materials with silver-black mulching film producing the highest yield (32.01 t ha-1) whereas pine needles produced the lowest yield (23.85 t ha-1). Rhizome length and breadth, the number of primary and secondary rhizomes, dry recovery, essential oil, oleoresin and curcumin content were some of the yield and quality characteristics that have been improved by the use of silver-black mulching film. Bed size also provided a significant effect on the yield of turmeric with the highest (29.03 t ha-1) in bed size 9×1 m2 whereas lowest in 3×1 m2 (25.75 t ha-1). A combination of silver-black mulching film and 9×1 m2 bed size provided the significantly highest turmeric yield (33.56 t ha-1). This study recommends that farmers in Himachal Pradesh’s mid-hill zone to produce turmeric using silver-black mulching film on beds measuring 9×1 m2 for better growth, yield and improved quality of turmeric.

“…Kushwah et al (2013) also reported the highest number of leaves under plastic mulch compared to grass mulch in ginger, which were in agreement with our results. However, in contradiction Verma and Sarnaik (2006) observed the minimum number of leaves under plastic mulch compared to other organic mulches in turmeric.…”

“…For decades farmers were using various materials such as dry leaf, paddy straw, paddy husk, jowar trash, saw dust, dry grass, dry sugarcane leaves, dry coconut leaves, coconut husk, paper for moisture conservation (reducing water evaporation losses), checking weed growth moderation of soil temperature, humidity, carbon di-oxide enrichment and increased microbial activity in the soil. Thus, mulching is the process of covering around plant root area so as to insulate the plant and its roots from the effect of extreme temperature fluctuations (Verma et al, 2016). Plastic mulching is a practice of covering the soil surface around the plant to make conditions more suitable for plant growth through In-situ moisture conservation, weed control, better CO 2 exchange foot root system and soil structure maintenance.…”

Shade nets are used for controlling the crop growth and improving crop productivity. A field experiment was conducted under shade net to determine the effect of environmental parameters on chrysanthemum under on different colour low tunnel shade nets. The experiment had split plot design consisting of different colour shade nets as main plots i.e., white shade net, green shade net, black shade net and open field condition and different mulches as a sub plots i.e., white colour plastic mulch, silver colour plastic mulch, black colour plastic mulch, jute mulch and no mulch. White colour shade net significantly increased the soil moisture and lowered the soil temperature compared to other colour shade nets. During the experimental period, maximum temperature (37.90 °C) was recorded under control condition followed by black shade net (35.80 °C) and green shade net (34.60 °C). Minimum temperature (33.00 °C) was recorded under white shade net. Maximum relative humidity (86.20 %) was recorded under white shade net followed by green shade net (82.30 %) and black shade net (79 %). Minimum relative humidity (77 %) was recorded under control condition. Maximum light intensity (49600 Lux) was recorded under control condition followed by white shade net (46800 Lux) and green shade net (37,000 Lux). Minimum light intensity was recorded under black shade net (33210 Lux). The results of biometric parameters depicted higher growth and yield parameters for chrysanthemum grown under white shade net with white plastic mulch. The yield of Chrysanthemum was increased in white shade net (8.75 t ha-1) than the black shade net (4.43 t ha-1). Chrysanthemum grown in open fields and without mulch produced lower growth and yield.
