Abstract
Research was conducted in plastic house at AL-Latifia Research Station, Agricultural Research Directorate, during Autumn season 2015 using Al-fares V1 and Grass V2 cv of Cucumber varieties. Experiment factorial within Randomized Complete Block Design (R.C.B.D) was adapted. The study carried out to know the effect of mulching M1 and without mulching M0 on growth and yield of Cucumber. Results showed the superiority of the treatment of Mulching Cucumber plants with black polyethylene (M1) that significantly increased the height of plants (195.50 cm) while the treatment without mulching (M0) gave 164.50 cm. There is no significant influences of the variety of cucumber in height of plant. The interaction between mulching with black polyethylene sheet and variety (M1V1) significantly increased in height of plants at ratios 201.70 cm, while treatment (M0V1) gave 157.50Cm. Mulching with black polyethylene (M1) significantly increased in the yield per plant and yield of plastic house compared without mulching (M0). Moreover the interaction between mulching with black polyethylene sheet and variety (M1V1) showed significant increase in the yield per plant and yield of plastic house (4.34kg.plant-1 & 5425.00kg.house-1) respectively in comparison with the M0V2 treatment that gave the values (3.58kg.plant-1 & 4481.00 Kg.house-1) respectively.
