Item Cashew - based farming system(2007-02-08) Mandal, R.C.; Yadukumar, N.; Mohan, E.With a view to find out suitable intercrops in the early stages of cashew plantation (for first 5 years), an attempt has been made at National Research Centre for cashew, puttur to grow cashew as main crop and pigeonpea, tapioca (annuals); pineapple, papaya (biennials) and tree species like Casuarina, Acacia, Subabul (Perennials) as inter and mixed-crops and these are being compared with a cover crop {Mucwia sp.) and a control (without any inter crop). Preliminary studies indicated that both the food crops as intercrop can be successfully grown in the laterite undulating land. Growth of fruit crops and tree species were found to be very satisfactory under rainfed condition. It is thus possible to utilize the wider interspace (spacing 8m x 8m) profitably during the pay-back period of cashew and thereby to get additional income which has been illustrated in this paper.Item Effect of season position and age of leaf on the major nutrient composition of cashew(2007-02-08) Harishu Kumar, P.; Rakiappan, P.; Nair, B.P.; Mohan, E.; Nagabhushanam, S.Item Juvenile Growth Characters of Air Layers and Seedlings in four Cashew (Anacardiurn Occidentale L.) Cultivars(1980) Nagabhushanam, S.; Mohan, E.; Murthy, K.N.Item More on Vegetative Methods(2007-02) Nagabhushanam, S.; Murthy, K.N.; Mohan, E.Item A Note on Field Establishment of Cashew (Anacardium Occident Ale L.) Air Layers(2007-02) Nagabhushanam, S.; Murthy, K.N.; Mohan, E.Air layers on separation from the mother tree and treated them with cow-dung + urea solution for one hour resulted in securing high percentage of survival in polybags. The air layers when planted along with seedlings gave significantly a better field establishment.Item Short Scientific Notes :Juvenile Growth Characters of Air Layers and Seedlings in four Cashew (Anacardium Occidentale L.) Cultivars(1980) Nagabhushanam, S.; Mohan, E.; Murthy, K.N.Item Stone Grafting In Cashew(1982) Nagabhushanam, S.; Mohan, E.A maximum success of 30 per cent was secured with stone grafting in July when the precipitation and relative humidity were high. Stone grafting done in two different methods (cleft and whip method) did not show any significant difference between the two methods during the period of the trial.Item Variation in mineral composition of leaves of cashew (anacardium occidental L.)as affected by season,position and age(1982) Harishu Kumar, P.; Nair, B.P.; Rakhiappan, P.; Nagabhushanam, S.; Mohan, E.Flowering and fruiting had a depressive effect on the major nutrient composition of cashew leaves Leaves of top portions did not vary in their N P K contents with that of lower portions. Freshly matured leaves, emerged after fruiting recorded higher contents of NPK than the matured leaves of previous season. The variation among the trees with respect to NPK contents of freshly matured leaves is less as compared to older leaves.
