Item Microclimate of coconut varieties and cacao and cinnamon grown as mixed crops with coconut(2007-02) Balakrishnan, T.K.; Nair, P.K.E.; Nelliat, E.V.During the peak period of evaporation (December-May) when evaporation from the open surface (observatory) exceeded 5 mm/day, the corresponding values for the microclimate of cacao and cinnamon, during the early stages of their growth as mixed crops with coconut palms, were 2-4 mm. The diurnal variations in relative humidity and vapour pressure in the microclimate of cacao and cinnamon were relatively much less . compared to those of observatory and mioroclimate of coconut. There were no differences in the microclimate of tall and dwarf varieties of coconut at their full bearing stage.
