As the world become increasingly dependent on the production of irrigated lands, irrigation agriculture is facing serious challenges that threaten its suitability. It is prudent to make efficient use of water and bring more area under irrigation, through available water resources. This can be achieved by introducing advanced methods of irrigation and improved water management practice. One of the water management practices for increasing water use efficiency is mulching. Any material spread on the surface of soil to protect it from solar radiation or evaporation is called mulch. Different types of materials like wheat straw, rice straw, plastic film, wood, sand and grass are used as mulch. Mulch moderates soil temperature and increase water infiltration during intensive rain
