The research results of methods study of soil mulching under the cropping of strawberry cultivars of various terms of maturing made in the Institute for Fruit Growing for the period of 2004-2007 were presented. Strawberry growth and development, its bearing and average berry weight were studied and economic effectiveness of growing was calculated. Experiment variants were weedfree fallow as a control; mulching of row-spacing by sawdust with 10 cm layer; before growing row-spacing mulching by the non-woven polypropylene fabric of mulching function which is spunbond SUF-60 by name of black color. Varieties of medium maturity period such as Krasnyj Bereg, Venta and one cultivar of late maturity period such as Zenga-Zengana were studied. It was determined that before growing soil mulching with the help of spunbond contributes to the increase of marketable plantation production 1.2-1.6 times as much. It also contributes to 4-7 days earlier berry maturing and increase of the average berry weight by 2.5-3.1 gram. Profitability of strawberry cropping with soil mulching with the help of spunbond makes 258%
