Irrigation is a vital factor in determining the growth and yield of sweet pepper, similarly poly-mulches also effect the crop yield substantially. Various research studies have been conducted by many workers to find out suitable poly-mulches in association with optimum irrigation level and type, so as to minimise the cost of cultivation. The relevant literature available on this aspect has been briefly reviewed. Literature available on irrigation and poly-mulch effect on capslcwn growth and development are collected under the following heads (1) Effect on growth, yield and quality (2) Effect on root development (3) Effect on photosynthesis and associated characters (4) Effect on water requirement, water saving and water use efficacy (5) Economic studies.
