The present field experiment was carried out during 2021-2022 at the Vegetable Research Farm, Department of Horticulture, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture Technology and Sciences, Prayagraj. laid in Randomized Block Design with three replications nine treatments. investigation a view to study effect different mulching material on growth, yield quality watermelon. results revealed that pl...

An experiment was designed to test the effects of metalized UV reflective silver plastic mulch on insect populations on a tomato crop as compared to the standard black plastic mulch. Yellow sticky cards, replaced weekly from June 8 to July 12, were used to collect flying insects, which were counted and classified. The total number of insects, and insects in the Thysanoptera, Homoptera, Aphidida...

Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) is a Tospovirus affecting field tomato crops worldwide. The virus is transmitted by some species of thrips. The most damaging vectors in Italy are Frankliniella occidentalis and Thrips tabaci. Only the first instar larvae can acquire the virus from an infected plant. After acquisition, the virus replicates in the vector, and the viruliferous thrips is capable of...

in the absence of herbicides, cover crops play an important role for weed management in organic than in conventional farming. therefore, in order to evaluate the effects of cover crop management and plant density of buckwheat (fagopyrum esculentum) as cover crop on weed suppression, a field experiment was conducted at the research farm of university of zanjan, during the growing season of 2011....

employment of solarization using the polyethylene mulch can be effective as a non-chemical approach for some control noxious weed management such as purple nutsedge (cyperus rotundus). in order to determine the effect of different levels of polyethylene mulches including one- layer clear polyethylene film, two- layer clear polyethylene film, one- layer black polyethylene film and two- layer bla...

The aim of this study, which involved a field experiment conducted in north-eastern Poland, is to evaluate the phytometric parameters, yield, and biological value fruit three tomatillo cultivars grown soil mulched with black PE (polyethylene) film covered non-woven PP (polypropylene) fabric. A two-factor was 2015 2017–2018 Agricultural Experiment Station owned by University Warmia Mazury Olszty...

Studies of the influence different technologies conventional chernozem cultivation on reserves productive moisture for maize over grain and winter wheat in Steppe zone Ukraine were carried out. The parameters technology growing field crops using “no-till” soil treatment relation to shelf ploughing determined. It was established that system substantially reduces loss due unproductive evaporation...

The influence of coloured-plastic mulching on physical and biochemical characteristics tomato fruits were investigated. During the study, crop was grown in an open field under five mulching, one organic mulch a no-mulch treatment. Harvested analysed for various physico-chemical post-harvest quality parameters. Results evidenced that sphericity tomatoe non-significantly (P<0.05) affected by h...
