dc.description.abstractThe present investigation entitled " Effect of trickle irrigation and coloured plastic mulches on growth, yield and quality of tomato", was carried out at plastic culture Development center, Department of Horticulture, Indira Gandhi Agricultural University Raipur (C.G.) during rabi season 2000-2001. The experiment was laid out in strip plot design allocating four irrigation levels viz. 100%, 80%, 60%, water through drip and flood irrigation and five plastic mulches viz. Black, White, Transparent, Red and without mulch were replicated four times. Tomato F1 hybrid cr. Avinash-2 was taken with the objective to see the performance for high yield, good quality, greater root development, water requirement, water use efficiency, best plastic mulch and higher net realization. The use of 80 percent water through drip with Red plastic mulch individually as well as jointly effective on tomato. The plants in respect of plant height, number of primary and secondary branches, number of leaves, number of flower cluster per plant, number of flower per clusters, percent fruit set, number of fruit, average weight of fruit, volume of fruit, diameter of fruit, T.S.S., fruit dry matter percentage, reducing sugar, ascorbic acid and lycopene content were markedly superior under 80 % water through drip with red plastic mulch combination. Drip irrigation with 80% water and red plastic mulch was effective for first flowering, 50% flowering and first fruit harvest in earlier days. Flood irrigation and without mulch treatment was effective to increasing juice percentage and moisture percentage of fruit. Flood irrigation in combination with red plastic mulch produced more acidic fruits. Drip irrigation with 80% water + Red plastic mulch was effective on root development and produced higher number of roots, highest root spread and maximum fresh and dry root biomass. Root length was higher in flood irrigation and without mulch combination. 60 percent water through drip + black plastic mulch combination was effective for minimizing weed incidence. Light reflection intensity was higher with flood irrigation and white plastic mulch combination, 60 percent water through drip + black plastic mulch produce higher soil temperature. The highest marketable and economic yield of 90 tha"1 was obtained with 80 percent water through drip and red plastic mulch combination. This combination gave highest net realization or Rs. 130974.22 ha"1 and greater benefit cost ratio (2.67) whereas, WUE was higher (26.95 q ha"1 cm"1) with 60% water through drip and red plastic mulch combination.en_US
