Evaluation of Recycled Paper Mulch for Vegetables as an Alternative to Plastic Film Mulch

Abstract Mulch is considered beneficial for controlling weeds, water conservation, and encouraging plant growth. However, not much research has been done on how pepper growth is affected by Kraft recycled paper mulch. For this reason, Field trials conducted in 2022 and 2023 aimed to investigate the effects of different mulches on ...
