In order to explain how mulch regulates watermelon shoot growth under dehydration, white and red polyethylene film and black non-woven textile were tested. Plants on black non-woven textile and red polyethylene foil showed the lowest shoot growth reduction, and this can be ascribed mainly to water saving properties of these cover mulches. However, important role could be played by modified light and temperature environment, as well.
