Cultivation of potato – use of plastic mulch and row covers on soil temperature, growth, nutrient status, and yield (2015, background): “In several species, okra (Brown & Channell-Butcher 2000), muskmelon (Ibarra et al. 2001), celery (Jenni et al. 2006), cucumber (Wolfe et al. 1989), and bell pepper (Jolliffe & Gaye 1995), the use of row cover leads to earlier production and higher yields.”

Grown on Plastic Film Mulches: Effects on Crop Microenvironment, Physiological Attributes, and Fruit Yield (2010, background): “In several crops grown in areas with cool spring conditions, the use of plastic mulches (e.g., black) with a high soil-warming ability has been found to increase yield (Ibarra et al., 2001; Lamont, 1993).”
