Abstract
The trails have been conducted at semi tropical upland rainfed ecosystem of village Urwa Block: Chandwara, Koderma, Jharkhand during summer season in poly house. The Black polytheen sheet has been utilized for providing mulching in experiment. The different growth parameters like morphological character, dry matter accumulation and number of fruits, weight of fruit per cluster, yield per hectare including cost benefit ratio have been calculated between mulched and unmulched treatment combination. Data revealed that experiment was exhibit the impact of black polytheen sheet with the thickness of 25 micron recorded best result in comparison to unmulched treatment combination for Plant height (92.2 cm), minimum days took for 50% flowering (72.5 days), maximum number of primary branches (115.3), number of secondary branches (225.3), dry matter (38.2), fruit weight (84.3g), leaf area index (2.25) and yield (33.2 ton/ha) has been recorded. The yield and yield-contributing characters in the mulched treatments for all levels of irrigation were significantly higher over unmulched treatments. Drip irrigation with black polythene sheet recorded highest net returns (28,740 Rs/ha) and benefit cost ratio (1:1.23) in tomato. However, it was found that drip irrigation besides black polytheen mulching gave a saving of 38% water resulted into 42% higher fruit yield compared to surface irrigation. The study reveals that drip irrigation with mulching has an explicit role in increasing the land and water productivity of tomato.
