ArticleItem Open Access Performance evaluation of banana cultivars in the reclaimed alluvial soils as intercrop in coconut gardens(Kerala Agricultural University, 1995) Alice Antony; Inasi, K A; KAUField experiments with different banana cultivars were conducted during the period 1988-92 in the coconut gardens of the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Kumarakom, Kerala to identify promising dessert and culinary types having good performance in the plant and ratoon crops. The results revealed that Palayankodan (AAB) was the host suited dessert cultivar for intercropping in coconut gardens since it gave the highest yield and highest net returns per ha in plant and ratoon crops. The study also indicated the suitability of Bathesa (ABB) and Monthan (ABB) the culinary types, for coconut gardens.ThesisItem Open Access Studies on intervarietal hybrids in cowpea(Division of Agricultural Botany, College of Horticulture, Vellanikkara, 1980) Inasi, K A; KAU; Narayanan Namboodiri, K MAmong the green vegetables cultivated in Kerala, cowpea (Vigna ungulculata L.) occupies about 70 per cent of the total area. At present cowpea cultivation in the state is showing a declining trend due to the low productivity of the available local varieties. The highly contrasting systems of cultivation of cowpea in the various parts and in different seasons in the State compels compels cowpea breeders to evolve varieties of different combinations of plant, pod and seed characters. This is possible by combining of desirable characteristics found distributed in different varieties, through hybridisation followed by selection.
