dc.description.abstractA mixed farming programme, consisting of cultivation of fodder grasses and legumes in the interspaces of coconut, maintaining milch cows, and recycling of cattle wastes, is in progress at the Institutes at Kasaragod and Kayangulam. Increase in nut yield, improvement of soil nutrient status, and increased activity of beneficial microorganisms were observed in the experimental plots. At Kayangulam, where the palms are affected by root (wilt) disease, foliar yellowing was reduced but the treatment had no effect on the other symptoms like flaccidity and leaf necrosis. An evaluation of the economics of the practices, taking into account alt the inputs and income from coconut and milk, showed that mixed farming could increase per hectare income considerably. Employment potential also increased several fold due to introduction of this system in coconut gardens.en_US
