Abstract
Field experiments were conducted during 1995-96 and 1996-97 at CPCRI, Kasaragod to find out the effect of agronomic practices on growth of arrowroot grown as intercrop in coconut garden. Sett sizes (15-20 g and 25-30 g) did not show significant difference with respect to different growth characters, whereas, lower plant population (111 thousand/ha) showed superiority in plant height, number of leaves, leaf area, LAI and LAD over higher density treatment (166 thousand/ha). Among organic manures, Farm Yard Manure, Vermicompost applied alone and FYM + NPK treatments showed significantly superior growth attributes compared to Composted Coir Pith applied alone and NPK alone. Control had significantly lower growth characters.
