The microbial population and dehydrogenase activity were also higher under FYM and VC treatments compared to CCP treatments, whereas under NPK alone and control there was no change In physico-chemical properties but the microbial count and their activity declined. Among organic manures, FYM + NPK combination recorded significantly higher yield components and fresh rhizome yield (6.2 t/ha) compared to FYM, VC, CCP and NPK applied alone. Fresh rhizome yield under mother rhizome was significantly higher compared to finger rhizome.Item Mushroom Cultivation on Coconut Waste(2000-12) George V.

Analysis of problem-cause relationship through farmer participatory approach revealed that low profitability was mainly due to the reasons of unavailability of quality seed, imbalanced use of fertilizers, improper plant protection measures, weed menace and high labour cost. The technological intervention points identified through farmer participatory approach and implicated on-farm conditions revealed that high yielding medium duration variety Aishwarya out-yielded local variety with substantial higher returns in the project area. Application of recommended dose of fertilizers gave around 500 kg grains per ha extra over farmers practice. On farm research on weed control in paddy revealed that application of weedicide gave an average yield of 2.5 t ha as compared to farmers practice of 2.2 t ha 1. Control of insect pests like leaf roller and stem borer gave additional net returns of Rs.l 105/ha by way of increased yield over farmers practice.Item Prospects of Improving Coconut Productivity Through Vermiculture Technology(2007-02) Subramanian, P.; Prabhu, S.R.Item Variation In Oyster Mushroom Production On Coconut By Products As Influenced By Mixing Of Substrates(1997) George V. Thomas; Reeny, M.Z.; Prabhu, S.R.Although paddy straw is considered to be the best substrate for oyster mushrooms, it has . become necessary to find out locally available and cheaper agro-wastes as alternate substrates due to the increasing cost and non-availability of paddy straw in several areas. Large quantities of by-products, which are high lignocellulosic in nature are available in coconut plantations and homestead gardens throughout the year at little or no cost. Oyster mushroom cultivation trials were conducted with coconut by-products individually and in different combinations in a low cost mushroom house constructed in a coconut garden. Variation in respect of total yield of mushrooms, biological efficiency of conversion and crop duration were observed in different .coconut by-products and their combinations. Leaf stalk, bunch waste, and spathe were better substrates than bunch stalk, leaflets and coir pith when tested individually. However, mixing of coir pith and leaflets with certain other substrates resulted in higher yield of mushrooms. Coir pith + leaf stalk and bunch waste + leaflets (1 : 1 ratio) yielded more mushrooms than other combinations tested. Crop duration of Pleurotus sajor-caju (Fr.) Singer ~Oyster mushroom) major was more in coconut by-products, particularly when leaf stalk was the substrate.Item Vermicompost From Coconut Leaves(1999-11) Prabhu, S.R.; Subramanian, P.; Thamban, C.Item Vermicomposting Of Coconut Leaves Enriched Granular Castings - A Boon To Coconut Growers(2003-01) Prabhu, S.R.; George V.
