The treatments consisting of two-coloured polyethylene mulch (black, silver/black) and with bare soil (without mulch) as controls. Results showed that soil temperature under the various coloured mulches was 2 to 4 ̊C warmer compared to bare soil. The highest soil temperature was recorded under black mulch (20.63). The plants grown on silver/black mulch produced Maximum plant heights (48.83 cm.), primary branches/plant (13.74), secondary branches/plant (21.13), early flowering (17.19), fruit length (8.74 cm), Fruit diameter (0.88 cm), average weight of fruit (4.49 g), number of fruits/plant (155.25), fruit yield/plant (744.14 g), Fruit yield per plot (11.82 kg), Ascorbic acid (269.07 mg/100 g), water use efficiency (4.96 kg ha -1 -mm), moisture depletion pattern % and soil ...
