Item Coconut root (wilt) disease in Trichur district 2: Observations on disease recurrence(2007-02-08) Kochu Babu, M.; Radha, K.; Rethinam, P.; Antony, K.J.Four hundred coconut root [wilt] affected palms distributed in eight villages north of Karuva-nnur river in Trichur district Kerala were eradicated to prevent the spread of the disease further north. Observations on disease recurrence in the affected gardens were recorded periodically. Out of 209 gardens from where 400 root [wilt] disease affected palms were eradicated 193 gardens [92.4%] remained free of disease after four years. The gardens with disease recurrence are located in low lying areas of hill slopes and riverbed. Eradication is more effective in gardens where initial incidence of disease was low. Young palms are more susceptible to the disease. Within the diseased gardens spread of the disease was erratic.Item Coconut root (wilt) disease in Trichur district- Observations on disease recurrence(1985-08) Kochu Babu, M.; Radha, K.; Rethinam, P.; Antony, K.J.Four hundred coconut root [wilt] affected palms distributed in eight villages north of Karuvannur river in Trichur district Kerala were eradicated to prevent the spread of the disease further north.

Scope for Oyster and Paddy Straw Mushrooms(2007-02) Kochu Babu, M.; Ramachandran Nair, K.; Thankachy, S.Two species of oyster mushroom (Pleuroius sajorcaju and P. llorlds) and paddy straw mushroom (Volvariella volvacea) were evaluated on oil palm factory wastes viz., mesocarp waste and bunch leluse, by different methods. The highest yiald on mesocarp waste was oblained In the case of Plaurolus llorids(37.3% conversion). Volvariella volvacos recorded a conversion of 4.97% on bunch refuse. The scope tor bio-utillzation of these wastes by mushroom cultivation Is discussed.Item Mushroom Cultivation on Palm Wastes(2007-02) George V.

To prevent the spoilage of seeds by fungi and to check their spread to new areas (when germplasm introductions are made) the effects of methyl bromide fumigation and five fungicides were tried before preheating the seeds. The seed micro-flora, germination and seedling vigour were monitored. Methyl bromide fumigation reduced germination and had no effect on external microflora. Hence it cannot be recommended for seed treatment. Fungicide treatments increased seed germination and seedling vigour. Wet fungicide treatments with Emisan 6 (Methoxy Ethyl Mercury Chloride) 0.1% and Foltaf 80W (Captafol 80% WDP) 0.2% for 20 min. before preheating were effective in eliminating external microflora and helped in increasing seed germination and seedling vigour. Thus seed treatment with fungicides was the best for phytosanitary treatment of oil palm seeds.Item Record of Upper Stem Rot of Oil Palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) in Little Andamans(1992) Kochu Babu, M.; Pillai, R.S.N.
