Response of organic mulches on weed and soil parameters of guava (Psidium guajava L.) under ultra high density planting system

Abstract

The present investigation “response of organic mulches on weed and soil parameter of guava (Psidium guajava L.) under ultra-high density planting system” was conducted at PFDC (Precision Farming Development Centre), Department of Fruit Science, College of Agriculture, Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya Raipur during the year 2022-2023. The results revealed that the significantly minimum weed density (2.00) per m2 with the use of rice husk mulch. At 90 days after organic mulch the maximum soil moisture percent of 21.96% and minimum soil temperature of 21.85°C was recorded in tree basin mulched with rice husk mulch, which was followed treatments use of card board mulch.
