| dc.description.abstract | A mixed farming experiment consisting of cultivation of fodder grasses in the interspaces of coconut,maintaining milch animals, poultry birds and recycling of farm yard manure and poultry manure is in progress at CPCRl, Kasaragod since 1989. Studies on soil properties showed that there was an increase in maximum water holding capacity and porosity and decrease in bulk density. There was build up of organic carbon, N, P, K and Fe status, whereas there was decrease in the available Ca, Mg, Mn, Cu and Zn. Leaf nutrient status of coconut palms was increased resulting in increased nut yield. | en_US |
