Abstract: In order to identify the effects of bast fiber mulching film on growth and yield of pepper in the greenhouse, the comparison tests of the agronomic traits, dry matter accumulation of vegetative organs and yield of pepper covered by different films had been conducted. The results showed that the coverage of bast fiber mulching film can significantly increase the plant height and number of branches of pepper; the dry matter accumulation of white bast fiber mulching film was the maximum among these treatments; the yield of white bast fiber mulching film and black bast fiber mulching film were significantly higher than the plastic film and no coverage. The correlation analysis among agronomic traits, dry matter accumulation of vegetative organs and yield components showed that there was significantly positive correlation between the total yield of pepper and the fresh weight of leaves; there was a very significantly positive correlation between early yield and the early fruit number per plant. Conclusion was drawn that bast fiber mulching film was suitable for covering cultivation of pepper in the greenhouse.
