Abstract
A mixed cropping experiment was started in 1975 in the yellow leaf diseased region of Palode with cow pea, NB 21 and guinea grass crop mixed with arecanut palms. The nitrogen fixing Azotobacter and Beijerinckia and phosphate solubilising microflora were enumerated in the arecanut soils during the years 1976, 1977 and 1978. The yield and disease status of the arecanut palms under mixed cropping were also recorded for the three years starting from 1976-78. The influenc of crop mixing in comparison with the control arecanut palms (palms without any crop mixing) has been discussed with emphasis on yellow leaf disease
