Agriculture in these islands is dominated by plantation crops, arecanut being the popular one. However, mono-cropping is not desirable, especially in widely spaced crops within island ecosystems where land is limited. To optimally utilize land resources and improve profitability, experiment on arecanut based cropping system with culantro was initiated. Culantro is a popular aromatic herb used for imparting green coriander like aroma to the cuisines. Intercropping resulted in an additional yield of culantro (2.21 t/ha), increasing net returns to ₹ 13,03,065/- compared to ₹ 9,59,600/- from the sole arecanut crop. Quality of the culantro produced in terms of plant growth, photosynthetic pigments, ascorbic acid etc. was also determined. Hence, culantro could be recommended for cultivation as an intercrop in the arecanut plantations of humid tropical Andaman Islands.Item First report on dwarf x dwarf coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) hybrids at cyclonic east coastal region of India(2024-08-01) R. Arunkumar; M. Surulirajan; N. Senthilkumar; P. Irene vethamoni; Niral, V.; Sumitha, S.; Augustine Jerard, B.Coconut, an important commercial plantation crop of India, is extensively grown from the state of Gujarat in the West Coast to West Bengal in the East Coast along the coastal lines of Peninsular India and is spreading inland over the non-traditional areas. The increased demand for fresh consumption and tender coconuts led the breeders towards development of dwarf hybrids for the benefit of the farming community. With this objective an experiment was initiated during 2011 to study the feasibility of growing D x D hybrids. The dwarf hybrids exhibited trunk height of i.e.3.8 to 5.5m height at 13 years of age. The tender fruit weight ranged between 741.43g (DDCH 3) to 1180.33g (DDCH 4). In DDCH 4, the yield of endosperm (57 liters) was also significantly higher than the check (22.65 liters) which indicate the prolific yield for beverage purpose. The PCA analysis of reproductive parameters revealed that, the total inflorescence per palm, number of spikelets per palm, number of male and female flowers per inflorescence had positive contribution (PC1). With higher yield and better quality parameters, the hybrid DDCH 4 was first D x D hybrid observed to be suitable for the East Coast region of Tamil Nadu.Item Heterosis for economic traits in coconut (Cocos nucifera L.)(2018) Shinde, V.V.; Ghavale, S.L.; Maheswarappa, H.P.; Jerard, B.A.; Sumitha, S.Item High-yielding coconut hybrid : VHC 4 (LCOTxCCNT) forTamil Nadu(2020-02) Maheswarappa, H.P.; Sumitha, S.; K.S.

C. Vengaiah; K. R. Prasad; G. N. Murthy; Sumitha, S.; Augustine Jerard, B.Palmyrah palm, is also an important multipurpose tree having great utility of each part of it have economic value right from fruit to root and hence the palm is equated to the “Kalpa Vriksha” in the Indian mythology meaning the tree that gives everything for life. The Palmyra palm can be found in Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, and Bihar. The palms in South India are seldom used to the full potential, but the natural regeneration through seeds increases the number of palms in the territory. Very few growers use the young fruits although the delicacy is known to the people. The ripe fruits are not used either for juice or for tuber production, whereas, the tubers are sold in the markets for fresh consumption. Palmyrah tuber flour is used as raw material for various products of starch in food industries and bakery and confectionary items.Item Performance of cocoa clones as intercrop in coconut gardens under south Gujarat condition(2018) Bhalerao, P.P.; Maheswarappa, H.P.; Sumitha, S.; Elain Apshara, S.Item Potential coconut (Cocos nucifera) hybrids developed using Gangabondam (GBGD) as maternal parent for yield and quality for southern dry tract of Karnataka (India)(2020) Sumitha, S.; Maheswarappa, H.P.; Basavaraju, T.B.; Prashanth, M.; SwethaItem Potential coconut (Cocos nucifera) hybrids developed using Gangabondam (GBGD) as maternal parent for yield and quality for southern dry tract of Karnataka (India)(2020) Sumitha, S.; Maheswarappa, H.P.; Basavaraju, T.B.; Prashanth, M.; SwethaItem PROCEEDINGS OF THE XXX ANNUAL GROUP MEETING AND TECHNICAL PROGRAMME FOR 2021-22 (ICAR-ALL INDIA COORDINATED RESEARCH PROJECT ON PALMS)(2021) Ravi Bhat; Sumitha, S.; Dr. Latha, K.
