Corn is a horticultural commodity that people love because it contains lot of high-quality nutrition and beneficial for human health. One the examples sweet corn. Sweet corn usually planted in plateu, needs some environmental manipulation to be low plain. The purpose this research find out about role mulch plant space setting, with hope organic setting will produce good results plants grow plai...

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...

Argentine ant, Linepithema humile (Mayr), management is constrained, in large part, by polydomy where nestmates are distributed extensively across urban landscapes, particularly within mulch. Management with trap-mulching is a novel approach derived from trap-cropping where ants are repelled from a broad domain of nest sites to smaller defined areas, which are subsequently treated with insectic...

relative diffuse reflection measurements from the original and ground surfaces using a he-ne laser are reported. the intensity measurements for the metallic, transparent dielectric, matte plastic surfaces and colored papers are presented. our results indicate that among metallic surfaces tested, aluminum has the highest diffuse reflectance; while the original stainless steel surface shows the l...

A study was conducted to evaluate the use of reflective mulch and host plant resistance for the management of the sweetpotato whitefly, Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), in watermelon [Citrullus lanatus var. lanatus (Thunberg) Matsum & Nakai]. Whitefly abundance data were collected under both greenhouse (caged and uncaged) and field conditions. Consistently, a reflective mulc...
