Influence of Several Nondegradable Mulches and One Biodegradable Mulch on Yield of Crimson Sweet Watermelon
Year: 1995
Type: article
Abstract: An experiment was conducted to determine the influence of several synthetic mulches and one biodegradable mulch on the yield of `Crimson Sweet' watermelons. The experimental design was a randomized block design using VisPore rowcover and various mulches. The results showed that using brown mulch resulted in a significant increase in marketable numbers of watermelons. Total yield of watermelons showed significant row cover × mulches interaction. Higher yields were observed with brown mulch and VisPore rowcover. The total number of watermelons grown with mulches was significantly greater than the control.
