Abstract
Field 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.
