Abstract:
An experiment was conducted at College of Horticulture, SDAU, Jagudan (Gujarat) during the period of April, 2022 to February 2023. The experiment included eight treatments viz. no mulch, black polythene, silver-black polythene, red-black polythene, mustard straw, castor shell, fennel straw and bishop’s seed straw. The experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design and each treatment was replicated three time. The treatments were evaluated base on growth, yield and quality of tuberose. All the types of mulches, whether inorganic or organic, performed better than bare soil. The plots treated with bishop’s seed straw mulch recorded maximum growth parameters and highest yield with better quality followed by fennel straw and black polythene mulch. No mulch recorded lowest value in all parameters during the investigation.
