A field experiment entitled “ Influence of different mulches on yield and economics in Chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) cv. Kashi Anmol” was concluded at the experimental field of Department of Horticulture, Udai Pratap (Autonomous) College, Varanasi (U.P.) during Rabi season of 2024 – 2025. Experiment was laid out in a Randomized Block Design (RBD) with seven treatments replicated three times organic and inorganic mulch with control i.e, Red plastic mulch (50 µ), Paddy straw mulch (5 cm), Compost (5 cm), Black plastic mulch (50 µ), Wheat straw mulch (5 cm), Silver plastic mulch (50 µ), No mulch (Control).Significantly, differences were yield attributed viz. Number of fruit per plant, weight of one fruit (g), fruit length (cm), fruit diameter (cm), fruit yield per plant (kg), fruit yield per plot (kg), and green chilli yield (q/ha.) increased under black plastic mulch and the apply of Black plastic mulch showed significant effect on economics cost in chilli cv. Kashi Anmol. It is revealed that the use of Black plastic mulch, considerably significantly increased yield and economics of chilli.
