Abstract
An experiment was conducted during 2013–14 at farmer's field of village Dhaba by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Burhanpur to evaluate the impact of mulching on growth and yield of water melon variety Madhuri. the study revealed that water melon under different mulching showed significant response over control in respect of growth and yield parameters. Plants without mulch resulted poor growth and low yield as compared to black polythene and straw mulch. Black polythene mulch followed by silver mulch exhibited highest yield 55.60t/ha and 53.80t/ha respectively over sugarcane dried leaves (48.68t/ha) and control (44.86t/ha). Besides above quality of the fruit is also improved over control and the treatments also increased the moisture content which save the water and increased the crop yield.
