There were treatments were seven treatments including T1(Black polyethylene), T2(Silver polyethylene), T3 (Sugarcane trash), T4(Paddy straw), T5(Grass), T6 (Saw dust) and T7 (Control). Results of the study showed that black polyethylene mulch increased the vegetative growth parameters of strawberry. The maximum plant height (21.43 cm), number of leaves per plant (37.66), leaf area (89.36cm2) number of flowers (27.52), number of fruits (22.46), fruit set per cent (82.99) were recorded in the treatment T1 (black polyethylene mulch).It also increased the yield(145.43g/plant).
