Abstract

Mulching is an essential cultural practice in strawberry cultivation.
Investigation on use of different synthetic and organic mulches revealed that the plants covered with polythene mulches performed better than the organic mulches.
White over black(W/B) laminated polythene mulched plants produced higher yields with berries of high mean fruit weight (10.37 g). The marketable berry yield was 10-13 per cent more in synthetic mulches when compared to organic mulches.
All the mulched plots promoted TSS,TSS/acid ratio and development of anthocyanin pigmentation.
