Item The dwarf coconut(2007-02-08) Thampan, P.K.; Markose, V.T.Item Evaluation of sea weeds as manure to coconut(1975) Nambiar, C.K.B.; Wahid, P.A.; Markose, V.T.A field trial with sea weed mixture (containing 90% of Cymodocea serrulata as a manure to coconut with and without NPK fertilisers was conducted on an acidic red sandy loam soil for five years. The application of sea weed alone did not increase the nut yield over control while NPK fertilisers increased it. The sea weed material enriched soil exchangeable Na, Ca, and Mg, increased pH, and considerably reduced P in soil. Considering the interaction between soil K and Na, Ca, and Mg and its possible effect on reduced availability of K, it is inferred that the material is not very promising as manure to coconut.Item Evaluation of sea weeds as manure to coconut(2007-02) Nambiar, C.K.B.; Wahid, P.A.; Markose, V.T.A field trial with sea weed mixture (containing 90% of Cymodocea serrulata as a manure to coconut with and without NPK fertilisers was conducted on an acidic red sandy loam soil for five years.

The highest response in terms of yield of ripe nuts and copra outturn per palm was obtained when annual dose of fertilisers was applied in two splits. Effect on the yield -components, viz., production and percentage set of female flowers, and copra content of nut, is also discussed.Item Frequency of fertilizer application to bearing coconut palms – Effect on yield and yield components(2007-02) Markose, V.T.; Nelliat, E.V.The results of a field experiment conducted to evaluate the relative benefits of fractionated annual and biennial applications of fertilisers to coconut, are presented in this paper.

It was found that palms receiving regular cultivation and manuring produced the highest number of roots (4016). About 74 per cent of the roots produced did not have lateral spread beyond 2 in from the bole. Regular cultivation reduced root proliferation in the top 30 cm layer of soil. Most of the roots were confined to the 31st to 120 cm depth. These findings are useful in formulating agronomic practices. For obtaining highest efficiency in the uptake of nutrients, fertilizers should be applied in circular basins having 150 to 180 cm radius and 15 to 20 cm depth. In the interspaces of coconut, inter and mixed crops can be successfully grown.Item Rooting Pattern of Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.)(1973) Kushwah, B.L.; Nelliat, E.V.; Markose, V.T.; Sunny, A.F.The rooting pattern of coconut palms growing in three situations viz. regular cultivation and manuring, regular cultivation alone-, and under neglect > was studied.
