Abstract: Field experiment was conducted at the teaching and Research Farm, Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso and Niger State College of Agriculture, Mokwa, in 2014 cropping season to examine the effects of mulch materials and mulching rates on fruit yield and nutritional qualities of tomato variety. The experiment had fifteen treatments viz: three mulch materials (rice husk, groundnut shell and dry guinea grass) and five mulching rates (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 in tha-1), replicated three times. The experiment was laid out as split plot arranged in Randomized Complete Block Design. Data were collected on plant height, number of flowers, number of fruits and total fruit yield.
