Abstract
In this work, the effect on the physical-chemical quality and production in a pepper crop (Capsicum annuum L.) subjected to different mulching treatments has been studied. Pepper plants were grown on bare soil (S), or mulched with traditional polyethylene (Pe) or with three different types of ecological hydromulching treatments obtained from recycled additives, namely: straw (C), pepper (P), tomato (T), artichoke (A), alperujo (ALP), almond shell (ALM), tomato + rapeseed (TCO) and straw + rapeseed (CCO). Black low-density polyethylene (Pe) and bare soil (S) were used as controls. The studied parameters were commercial production and pepper physical-chemical quality (weight, length and width of the fruit, basal, apical and equatorial thickness, malic acid content and soluble solid content (◦Brix)). The CCO mulching treatment showed the highest unit weight of the fruits in comparison to the non-mulched treatment (11.6%). Regarding the size, no differences were found between the mulching treatments in the variables width, length and apical thickness, with respect to bare soil. Concerning the categorization of production, the hydromulched plants with P, CCO and TCO showed a superior number of fruits, particularly in the first category, in which were 1.6 times higher than non-mulched plants. To conclude, these results presuppose important advances in the use of new formulations of ecological hydromulches, especially in Mediterranean areas where the cultivation of pepper is of great economic importance.
