The scope of this study was based on analyzing the productivity, quality and earliness of the watermelon crop cv. ‘Santa Amelia’ grown on the central coast using polypropylene mulch of different shades using the blanket ends in certain treatments. Eight treatments were studied, mulch white, black and transparent color only, in combination with thermal blanket, thermal blanket alone and control. Completely randomized Block Design was used. The results showed a superior production when using only mulch and mulch more thermal blanket.: Black mulch more thermal blanket with 81,37; white mulch with 75,95; transparent mulch 74,53 and black mulch 74,45 Tn*ha respectively very higher than the control with 45,27 Tn*ha. Regarding the early harvest, the treatment with black mulch in its first harvest achieved 34,75 percent, a result similar to that to which mulch was applied alone and in combin...
