Influence of Mulching Materials on Yield and Quality of Cut Rose in Soil Cultivation

Abstract

|
Roses were cultivated with five different mulching materials to evaluate the yield and quality of cut flowers. Daily average soil temperatures were highest in transparent P.E. film, followed by black P.E. film, black/white P.E. film, reflex film and straw mulch. The highest light reflection (49.3%) was observed with reflex film mulching, than that of 8.8% with no-mulching. Black P.E. mulching did not increase light reflection. Cut flower yield was increased by 42% with reflex film mulch and by 23.5% with straw mulch when compared to the yield with no-mulch of 132.5 stems/10 plants. Relative effectiveness of mulching on the yield increased in winter. Flower qualities were also remarkably improved when reflex film and straw were used as mulching materials.
