Abstract
Watermelon is a main summer season crop of central India. In summer season water demand in entire india. Due to excess temperature the tropical fruits demands are more in this season. According to the demand various research has been conducted and in this continuation this work was conducted. In this study crop grown on furrow without and with mulch. The flood irrigation (furrow irrigation) was adopted. The 50 micron size was used. As per the experiments the growth factor like average plant length 225.06 cm, 227.76 cm and 226.41 cm, number of 277.92, 281.25 and 279.58 and number of nodes were found in 50 micron white mulch however; the yield factor like; fruits3.94, 3.98 and 3.96 per plant, weight3.10 kg, 3.14 kg and 3.12 kg of fruit and yield 2477.27 q, 2506.99 q and 2492.13 q ha-1are higher at 50 micron mulch under controlled irrigation and water-based water-based fertilization condition.
