Abstract
A comparative yield trial involving five high yielding varieties of arecanut viz., Mangala, Sumangala, Sreemangala, Mohitnagar and Thirthahalli local was laid out at Thirthahalli to identify suitable variety for cultivation in the Malnad (hills) region of Karnataka. Mangala registered significantly lower height with high percentage of flowering palms. Mangala performed better than other varieties with highest yields in the initial years of bearing closely followed by Thirthahalli local while Sreemangala recorded comparatively lower yields.
