Abstract
The field experiment conducted on watermelon (Citrullus lanatus Thunb) cv. Kiran at Fruit Research Station, “Lalbaugh”, Department of Horticulture, College of Agriculture, J.A.U., Junagadh during summer season of 2010 to study the effect of different mulching material on growth, yield and quality of water melon cv. Kiran. All the plant growth, yield and quality characters were superior with silver on black polyethylene mulch while, plants without mulch (control) resulted poor growth and yield. With economic point of view, silver on black mulch resulted in the highest net return and found to be more economical with highest cost:benefit ratio.
