| dc.description.abstract | Recently, hybrids Chandrasankara (COD x WCT) and Chandralaksha (LO x COD) from CPCRI, Kasaragod, Lakshaganga (LO x GB) and Anandaganga (AO x GB) from the Kerala Agricultural University and VHC 1 (ECT x OGD) and VHC 2 (ECT x MYD) from the Tamil Nadu Agricultural University have been released for cultivation. Hybrids Chandralaksha and Lakshaganga were found tolerant to drought. Chandrasankara appeared to be susceptible to drought. However, in sandy loam soil under rainfed conditions at Kasaragod, this hybrid has outyielded the hybrid WCT x COD and the local cv WCT. Under rainfed conditions of Kasaragod with the fertilizer level of 500 g N + 500 g P2O5 + 1000 g k20/palm/year, hybrid Chandrasankara produced 92 nuts/palm/year as against 79 and 67 nuts respectively in WCT x COD and WCT. With 20 mm irrigation through perfo-sprinkler, hybrids Chandrasankara and WCT x COD yielded 147 and 135 nuts/palm/year respectively, compared to 126 nuts by WCT. Hybrid Chandrasankara showed higher efficiency in utilizing native fertility and attained earlier bearing than WCT x COD and WCT. | en_US |
