Item Coconut manuring- Time and method of application of manures(1958-07) Krishna Marar, M.M.Item Coconut nursery studies. III- Vigour of seedlings in relation to the floating position of seednuts in water(2007) Krishna Marar, M.M.; Shambhu, K.A study of the vigour of seedlings in relation to the floating position of seednuts in water has shown that seedlings from vertically floating nuts are decidedly more vigorous than obliquely or horizontally floating"nuts'. Horizontally floating nuts give rise to seedlings with least vigour. Where one has to deal with large number of mother palms it may be possible by using this simple method to spot out and discard mother palms that are likely to give rise to poor progenies in the nursery without actually undertaking detailed nursery studies.Item Coconut nursery studies. IV- Suitability of west coast variety nuts harvested in the different months of the year of seed nuts purposes(2007) Krishna Marar, M.M.; Balakrishnan, V.Item Coconut nursery studies. V- A comparitative study of some of the methods of germinating coconuts(2007) Krishna Marar, M.M.; Kunhiraman, C.A.Item Coconut wastes can find many industrial applications(1966-06) Pandalai, K.M.; Krishna Marar, M.M.Item Collecting Seed Coconuts(1960-12) Krishna Marar, M.M.; Jayarajan, T.G.Item Husk Burial for the Improvement of Coconut Gardens(1957) Krishna Marar, M.M.; Kunhiraman, C.A.The feasibility of husk burial for the improvement of coconut plantations has been discussed in its various aspects in the light of experimental results available. The following is a summary: (1) Husk burial in coconut plantations under dry system of cultivation has been found to increase the yield of the coconut palms. The improvement resulting from one operation will last for about 6 years. (2) Where the soil is deficient in the important plant nutrients, husk burial may have to be supplemented with the application of nitrogenous and phosphatic fertilizers also if maximum benefit is to be obtained. (3) Trenches for burying husks need be only about 15 deep. The advantages of the use of deeper trenches are not commensurate with the .extra expense involved. (4) A few questions for which the information already available does not provide answers have been indicated. (5) The need to give proper consideration to certain aspects in husk burial has been stressed. (6) Detailed directions for burying husks are given.Item Introductory paper on coconut soils(2007) Krishna Marar, M.M.Item A note on the estimation of leaf area of coconut seedlings(2007) Krishna Marar, M.M.; Papachan, G.Item A note on the relationship of soil temperature with some meteorological factors(2007) Divakaran Pillai, M.; Vijayalakshmi, K.; Krishna Marar, M.M.A preliminary study of the relationship of soil temperature at 5 cm. depth in the red loam soil of the Central Coconut Research Station, Kasaragod with weather factors such as maximum temperature, period of sunshine and relative humidity was carried out for three different seasons of the year. There is indication to show that sunshine is having the maximum influence and relative humidity a little. Among the seasons, no clear cut association was seen during the hot weather period. The difficulty of drawing any firm conclusion from the admittedly insufficient data has been indicated.Item Observations on a Twin Coconut Palm(1957) Krishna Marar, M.M.; Kunhiraman, C.A.The results of observation of a twin coconut palm in bearing are recorded. Differences have been observed between the two in a few of the characters studied.Item Optimum stage for harvesting coconuts for different purposes(1957) Krishna Marar, M.M.Item The Place of Liming General Agriculture with to Coconut Cultivation(2007) Krishna Marar, M.M.Item Preliminary studies on the storage of Copra in plastic-lined gunny bags(1960-04) Krishna Marar, M.M.; Padmanabhan, V.Item Setting up Elite Coconut Seed Farms(1960-04) Krishna Marar, M.M.Item Soil Physical Properties and Coconut Cultivation(1963-08) Krishna Marar, M.M.Item Studies on Leaf Spiral in Coconut(1968-08) Satyabalan, K.; Krishna Marar, M.M.; Radhakrishnan, V.Studies on the leaf spiral in coconut have indicated that in a very large population of palms the occurrence of left-spiralled and right-spiralled palms may roughly be 50 : 50. Further studies made on a large number of palms have confirmed the previous findings that the direction of leaf spiral has no bearing on the yield of nuts and that there is no association between spiral character and other characters of economic significance like copra content per nut arid annual copra outturn in the palms of the local ‘Tall’ variety.Item Studies on the development of coconuts during the different months of the year(2007) Vijayalakshmi, K.; Divakaran Pillai, M.; Krishna Marar, M.M.Item Studies on the keeping quality of ripe coconuts in storage - IV. Cost of paraffin wax treatment of husked coconuts on a small scale on house holds(164) Markose, V.T.; Krishna Marar, M.M.Item Studies on the keeping quality of ripe coconuts in storage: 3. Effect of repeated paraffin wax coatings, shell thickness and of using shellac preparations on the driage of not water in fully husked coconuts.(2007) Mohamed Kunhi Muliyar; Krishna Marar, M.M.Trials were conducted to make a comparative study of the effect of two shellac preparations, viz., shellac "AL" and "DL" grades and paraffin on the storage life of husked nuts. Paraffin was found to be the best among the materials tried. Even after 300 days only 35 per cent of the nuts stored were found to get dried up. All control nuts dried up within the first 75 days of storage. The "AL" and ''DL" grades of lac were found to be only slightly better than the control. There was indication that the period of storage without driage could be increased by increasing the thickness of paraffin coating. Percentage loss in weight was less in the case of thick - shelled nuts.
