Abstract
Experimental approaches followed in arecanut and the modifications that can be effected in these methods have been outlined. Selection of planting material and mother plants based on characters correlated with yield and on selection index, exploitation of prepotency, selection through a Modified Mass-pedigree system and exploitation of hybrid vigour using analysis of dispersion have been suggested for achieving genetic gain in yield. The need for evaluating the techniques and taking up related basic genetic studies has been pointed out.
