Effect of Paddy Husk used as Mulch on Cauliflower under Two Intervals of Irrigation and Two Levels of Nitrogen

Abstract

                                The inter-relationship of water supply to mulch has been a point of study as it affects the water requirements of the crop. The use of different types of dead vegetable material as mulch has been advocated depending upon the availability of materials, environment, cultural practices and plant types. In Madhya Pradesh, paddy husk is available in plenty and it has no use except as a fuel in some small scale industries. Its use as mulch in vegetables specially cole crops may be of use in economising irrigation and increasing yields.
