| dc.description.abstract | A study was conducted to develop and demonstrate the efficacy of various soil and water conservation measures suitable for coconut gardens of the western ghat region. Runoff and soil loss from cropping systems adopting different soil and water conservation measures were estimated. Out of various measures for soil and water conservation tried, contour trench (4 m length X 0.5 m width X 0.5 m depth) filled with coconut husk with two lines of pineapple in the interspaces of coconut proved to be the best treatment for soil and moisture conservation in laterite soil having a slope of 14 to 16 per cent. It was also observed that CO-3 grass grown as intercrop in coconut garden not only conserved soil and water but also produced fodder @ 100 tonneshalyear in eight harvest. Coconut yield increased nearly three times after imposing the treatments mainly because of treatment and management effect. | en_US |
