EFFECTS OF PLASTIC MULCHING ON GROWTH, YIELD AND COST AND RETURN ANALYSIS OF CAPSICUM ANNUUM L. VAR. ANNUUM CV. ACCUMINATUM FINGERH
Abstract
- The field experiment was conducted at Aungmyinttar Quarter, Magway Township from June to November 2017. In the experiment, two different plastic mulches were transparent, black and control (without mulch).Soil temperature and moisture had no significant were observed. Significant differences on plant height, number of leaves, fresh weight of fruit and harvest index of chili pepper were observed. According to the results of different plastic mulches, T2 black was tallest plant height (22.33cm), maximum number of leaves (30.91), fresh weight of fruit (16.94g) and harvest index (12.46) compared to other T1 transparent and T3 control. Production of chili pepper by using plastic mulch was more cost than the fruit production without using the plastic mulching, however, higher yields in the plastic mulched chili pepper fruits than fruits without using it in 2017. The results of 2017, using black plastic mulch gave the highest profit in all treatments and the use of transparent plastic mulch profited five times than without plastic mulch (control). There was a very high difference between black plastic mulch and control. The results clearly suggested that using the black plastic mulch can be performed the best yield components and yields of chili pepper production.
