Abstract :The greenhouse experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of black polyethylene insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PE); plastic mulch on yield and some quality parameters of tomato. In the study, black PE mulch material was laid on raised beds and bare soil insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(not mulched); was used as control. Mulch did not affect plant height, fruit shape index, chroma and hue angle, firmness, soluble solids content, titratable acidity. Black PE plastic mulch had a positive influence on yield. Significantly higher stem diameter and yield were obtained from the black PE mulch application insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(17.23 mm and 18.78 kg da -1 , respectively); compared to the control insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(15.30 mm and 16.75 kg da -1 , respectively);. On the other hand, vitamin C was higher in control insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(41.13 mg 100 g -1 ); than in the black PE mulch applicationKeywords : Black PE mulch, Solanum lycopersicum L, Black PE mulch, Quality, Yield
