G. Rodriguez Rodriguez. 2007. Effect of rice bran mulching on growth and yield of cherry tomato. Cien. Inv. Agr. 34(3):225-230. From the spring to fall of 2005, in northern Kanto, located in central Japan, an open fi eld was prepared for cultivating cherry tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum var. cerasiforme) with three types of mulch: 1. Rice straw with rice bran, 2. Rice straw alone, and 3. Polyethylene fi lm covering. The fruits were harvested from June to the end of September. There were signifi cant differences between the treatments in both the total yield of fruit (p = 0.0379) as well as in the yield of normal fruit (p = 0.0458). The highest total fruit production (3.4 kg·plant -1 ) was obtained with the rice straw and bran treatment, followed by the other two treatments, with about 2.5 kg·plant -1 . Other factors, such as total fruit number and the weight of damaged fruit, were not signifi cantly different. Forty days after planting in the fi eld, plant height and other vegetative characteristics were measured; no statistically signifi cant differences between the studied soil treatments were observed. These results indicate that the application of rice bran on a fi eld surface previously covered with rice straw contributed to an increase in the yields of the tomato plants. The application of rice bran also facilitated weed control management.
