ABSTRACT Watermelon [Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) & Nakai] is widely grown on plastic mulches in the southeast United States, but responses of plants to plastic mulch color are not well understood. The objectives of this study were to determine the effects of colored plastic mulches and changes in root zone temperature (RZT) on fruit yield of watermelon fruit. The mulches (152 cm wide) evaluated were: black, blue, gray, red, silver (metallic), and white. During the first weeks after transplanting, canopy development was more rapid on black, blue, and red than silver and white mulches. As the season progressed and temperatures increased, differences in canopy development among mulch treatments tended to decrease. Watermelon plant growth benefited from soil warming using plastic film mulches, mainly blue, black, and red. There were no differences in fruit yield among different colored mulches, indicating that under the temperature conditions of the present study, the RZTs during fruiting were within optimal range for watermelon which is estimated to be 28.3°C.

ABSTRACT Temperature is critical for the plant growth and yield of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) in northern cool season climates. Few studies have quantified the effect of temperature using different crop systems to improve the growth of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.). Our study examined the impact of black mulch on raised beds for sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) production in open field conditions in Manitoba. Black mulched plots were compared with non-mulched plots over 3 years for effects on soil temperature and commercial yields. Three year mean soil temperatures (19.9°C) were significantly higher under mulched plots compared to non-mulched soil (19°C). Higher total, marketable and US#1 yields were harvested from mulched plots than non-mulched plots; however, no differences were recorded for US#2, jumbo and cull yields over 3 years. Marketable yield increases of 47, 39 and 30%, were recorded for mulched plots over non-mulched plots in years 2018, 2019 and 2020, respectively, with a 3-year average yield increase of 39%. Use of black mulch contributed to increased sweet potato commercial yields in short season-temperate climates.

ABSTRACT Although plastic mulches are widely used in vegetable production, there is limited information on the production of sweet corn (Zea mays L. var. saccharata) on plastic mulch. The objective of the work was to determine effects of colored mulches on sweet corn plant growth and ear yield. The study was conducted in Tifton, GA, during the 2011 fall and 2014 spring seasons. Colored plastic mulches evaluated were black, blue, gray (gray-on-black), red, silver (silver-on-black), and white (white-on-black). Root zone temperature (RZT) was measured by determining soil temperature midway between plants at 10 cm soil depth. In the fall and spring seasons, black, blue, gray, and red mulches provided more soil warming than silver and white mulches. In the fall, plants were tallest on plastic mulches that retained the least heat in the soil, i.e., silver and white mulches had the lowest RZTs. In the spring, plants were shortest on silver mulch. In the fall, marketable and total yields and sweet corn ear weight were highest on silver and white mulches and lowest on black, blue, and red mulches. Plant height and marketable yield decreased with increasing RZTs (during the first 42 DAP) above 26°C. In the fall, reduced plant height and yield in black, blue, and red mulches were probably because of supra-optimal RZTs. There were no differences in corn ear yields in the spring among plastic mulch treatments. The impact of colored plastic mulches on plant growth and sweet corn yield varied by season and was associated with RZTs under colored plastic mulches.

ABSTRACT Recombination of commercially available hybrids could produce desirable segregants that act as sources of new alleles for tomato breeding. Seven commercial single cross (SC) hybrids of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) were crossed in a half diallel fashion to obtain 21 double cross hybrids (DC) to estimate combining ability, mode of gene action and extent of heterobeltiosis for fruit yield, processing qualities and tomato leaf curl virus (ToLCV) disease severity traits. Predominance of non-additive gene action occurred in the control for all characters except for total soluble solids (TSS) content in fruit that was conditioned by both additive and non-additive gene action. Improvement of most traits in DC hybrids over SC hybrids occurred. Maximum heterotic effect in DC hybrids was for vitamin C content followed by lycopene content, fruit yield per plant, titratable acidity content, number of fruit per plant and percent disease index of ToLCV. Two good combiners, ‘PAN-1286’ and ‘Devi’ among SC hybrids were identified based on general combining ability effects and average performance. Commercial exploitation of DC hybrids, ‘TO-1458 × L-37’ and ‘NS-501 × TO-1458’ following multilocational testing in the tropics and subtropics might be useful. High yielding, ToLCV disease tolerant DC hybrids could be exploited in segregating generations to identify elite multi-parent advanced generation inter-cross (MAGIC) populations.

ABSTRACT Information on benefits of commercial biostimulants is needed due to the lack of unbiased claims and increased interest and use of commercial biostimulants by growers. This study assessed growth, yield, and quality of bell pepper (Capsicum annuum L.), ‘Ace,’ grown using the commercial biostimulants (Bioyield®, Environoc 401®, MA Endomaxx®, Rootshield Plus + WP ®, Select®, and Spectrum+Myco®) and 2 concentrations of N fertilization. Transplant size was not improved by biostimulant treatment. At harvest, Environoc 401® and Select® caused production of more fruit with 50% or more color. Bioyield® reduced dry weight by ~25% with no reduction to yield. Microbial-based biostimulants inconsistently improved growth and quality of ‘Ace’ bell pepper under a greenhouse and commercial fertilizer program. Commercial biostimulants may prove their value with more applications prior to fruit set or in the field, where other yield limiting factors come into play.

ABSTRACT Lack of appropriate seed extraction methods limits a sustainable supply of quality seed for tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). Natural fermentation and HCl acid methods are the most common methods used for tomato seed extraction. This study was undertaken to determine effects of seed extraction method on physiological quality of tomato seed and developing seedlings. Fermentation (24, 48, or 72 h) and immersion in HCl acid at 1%, 2%, or 3% (V/V) for 30, 60, or 90 min were treatments. Seed extracted in 2% HCl for 60 min were superior in germination (99.33%), seedling emergence (89.76%), seedling length (14 cm), seedling fresh weight (558.1 g), seedling dry weight (26.73 g), and vigor-index I (1391) and II (2655). Seed were free from mycoflora. This seed extraction method can be used to produce high-quality seed, control seed-borne pathogens and produce vigorous tomato seedlings.

ABSTRACT The length of time a crop is exposed to competition for resources in an intercrop is a determinant to its performance. Field experiments were carried to determine effects of time of initiation of intercropping Egusi melon (Citrullus vulgaris Thunb) on growth and fruit yield of two pepper species: [Capsicum chinense (L.) and C. frutescens (L.)]. Egusi melon was planted simultaneously with pepper (SWP), and at 2 and 4 weeks after transplanting pepper (WATP), mono-cropped Egusi melon and mono-cropped pepper were used as checks. Time of initiation of intercropping melon with pepper did not affect all vegetative growth parameters of pepper. Number of branches of melon was reduced when it was monocropped. Number and duration of pepper harvests in 2017 were higher in C. frutescens than C. chinense, but were similar for both species in 2018. In both pepper species, fruit yield reduction was more when melon was intercropped SWP. Seed yield of melon was more when it was intercropped SWP. Land equivalent ratio in 2017 was greater relative to 2018. Initiation of intercropping melon at 2 or 4 WATP may improve pepper yield, while initiation of intercropping melon simultaneously with pepper may improve yield of Egusi melon.

ABSTRACT Bio-stimulants cause changes in processes that influence plant growth through improved tolerance to abiotic conditions and increase yield and improved quality. A field experiment was conducted to study effects of water quality at 1.2 and 8 ds∙m−1 and fertilizer combinations, with manure and a bio-booster (Zytonic-M®) as secondary factors, to determine tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) tolerance to salinity. Irrigation water salinity caused a decline in vegetative, floral growth, and yield. The mix of poultry manure at 30 tons∙ha−1 + 2 g Zytonic-M® improved vegetative growth and yield of tomato, hybrid Awahr (F1).
