The soil moisture content was higherin black polythene mulch followed by white polythene mulch and organic mulch. The growth parameters such as plant height, girth and number of leaves 12 months after treatment imposition were significantly higher in black polythene mulch followed by white polythene mulch and organic mulch Polythene mulches, organic mulch and herbicide application effectively controlled the weeds around the seedling basin. The highest microbial population was observed under organic mulch.Item Effect of soil and water conservation measures on growth and yield of arecanut under sloppy terrain of Assam(2006) Borah, A.S.; Ray, A.K.; Maheswarappa, H.P.; Subramanian, P.; Krishnakumar, V.; Barman, I.Item Evaluation of potting mixtures for raising arecanut seedlings in polybags(Indian Society for Plantation Crops, 2008-05) Borah, A.S.; Nath, A.; Ray, A.K.; Ravi Bhat; Maheswarappa, H.P.; Subramanian, P.; Krishnakumar, V.Item Performance of different varieties of arecanut in Assam(Indian Society for Plantation Crops, 2008) Ray, A.K.; Borah, A.S.; Ananda, K.S.; Maheswarappa, H.P.
