Experiments were designed to clarify effects of black and white polyethylene film ground cover and geotextile on the soil temperature and moisture regime in the strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa) first year plantation. Experiments were carried out in farm „Bērzemnieki”, Jaunalūksne parish in 2013. Strawberry plants were grown in beds covered with plastic mulch and equipped with drip irrigation system. Control variant was without plastic mulch. Soil temperature and volumetric water content was measured 4 times during vegetation period. Results showed significant increase of water content as a result of soil mulching. The largest differences in the temperature and volumetric water content were observed between white polyethylene film mulch and control. The tendency of temperature reduction under plastic film was stated.
