Item Elimination of Tannins from coconut leaves(2007-02-08) Potti, V.P.; Joseph, K.V.; Jayasankar, N.P.; Hariharasubramanian, V.Item Investigations on Vascular Browning in the Roots of Root (Wilt) Diseased Coconut (Cocos Nucifera Linn.)(2007-02) Snehi Dwivedi, R.; Solomon, J.J.; Govindankutty, M.P.; Sumathy Kutty Amma, B.; Potti, V.P.Item Mixed Farming in Coconut Gardens : Economics and its Effect on Root (wilt) Disease(2007-02) Sahasranaman, K.N.; Pillai, N.G.; Jayasankar, N.P.; Potti, V.P.; Thomas Varkey; Kamalakshi Amma, P.G.; Radha, K.A mixed farming programme, consisting of cultivation of fodder grasses and legumes in the interspaces of coconut, maintaining milch cows, and recycling of cattle wastes, is in progress at the Institutes at Kasaragod and Kayangulam. Increase in nut yield, improvement of soil nutrient status, and increased activity of beneficial microorganisms were observed in the experimental plots. At Kayangulam, where the palms are affected by root (wilt) disease, foliar yellowing was reduced but the treatment had no effect on the other symptoms like flaccidity and leaf necrosis. An evaluation of the economics of the practices, taking into account alt the inputs and income from coconut and milk, showed that mixed farming could increase per hectare income considerably. Employment potential also increased several fold due to introduction of this system in coconut gardens.
