| Abstract A field experiment was conducted in AI- Najme (north east of AI- samawa town ) during the fall season 2013 using Santa and Draga potato cultivars class (A) to investigate the effect of mulching with Black polyethylene sheets on growth yield and quality of potato tubers. The experiment was set up using Randomized complete Block design (R.C.B.D) with three replicates six tubers were planted in each replicate the means was compared using L.S.D level of 0.05 probability The results can be summarized faIIows:- 1- Santa cultivar significantly increased the characteristics( number of stems ,leaf area, dry weight of vegetative growth , yield per plant , dry mater percentage ,N%, starch percentage , protein) reached(2.529 , 85.809 , 37.228 , 660.57 , 15.541% , 0.9289% , 9.8586% , 5.775 % in comparison Draga reached 2.260 , 80.430 , 36.055 , 621.17 , 13.968% , 0.8961% , 8.4349% , 5.548% respectively. 2-Mulching treatment variety significantly of the characteristics( number of stems ,leaf area, dry weight of vegetative growth , yield per plant , dry mater percentage ,N%, starch percentage , protein) reached 2.636 , 85.521 , 37.741, 730.12 ,15.067% , 0.9414% ,9.4229% , 5.846% in comparison non mulching reached2.153 ,80.718,35.542 ,551.61,14.442% , 0.8833%, 8.8706% , 5.477% respectively. 3- Interaction treatment (Santa with mulching )significantly ralue of the characteristies( number of stems ,leaf area, dry weight of vegetative growth , yield per plant , dry mater percentage ,N%, starch percentage , protein)reached 2.858 ,88.245 ,38.387 ,746.42 , 15.869% , 0.9528% , 10.1508% , 5.906% in comparison interaction treatment( draga with non mulching) reached 2.107 , 78.063 , 35.014 , 528.50 , 13.672% , 0.8622% , 8.1747% , 5.309% respectively | ||
