ABSTRACT

A field experiment was conducted in chillies (Variety CO 2) to study the effect of different mulches and irrigation regimes on chillies yield and economics. Results revealed that mulching chillies with black linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE) film of 25 micron thickness significantly influenced plant height and all the yield attributes, except the length of fruit. The fresh fruit yield and net returns were also favourably influenced by plastic mulching compared to unmulched control. Irrigation at IW/CPE ratio of 0.80 is the optimum irrigation regime as it resulted in significantly higher fresh fruit yield of chillies.
