    Effect of time of planting on growth and yield of irrigated Nendran banana
    (Kerala Agricultural University, Vellanikara, 2001) Susamma P, George; Nybe, E V; Gopalakrishnan, T R; Manomohandas, T P; Kumaran, K
    Field experiments were conducted at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Ambalavayal for three years to standardize the best time of planting of irrigated banana var. Nendran (AAB) for maximum growth and yield of quality bunches. Suckers were planted at monthly interval on the first of every month starting from July to December. July to October plantings were equally good for mean bunch weight (7.83, 8.38, 8.10 and 8.20 kg respectively) and were superior to November and December plantings (5.28 and 4.14 kg respectively). November and December plantings recorded minimum value for all the growth and bunch characteristics studied except crop duration. Planting of Nendran beyond October enhances the crop duration.

    Influence of weather on the yield of pepper cv. panniyur 1 (Piper nicrum L.)
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1999) Pradeepkumar, T; Kumaran, K; Aipe, K C; Manomohandas, T P
    Influence of weather on the yield of black pepper variety Panniyur 1 was studied by resorting correlation and regression analysis. Among the different weather variables, mean maximum temperature in March first fortnight and June second fortnight, total sunshine hours received during February first fortnight, March first fortnight and April second fortnight, total rainfall during March second fortnight and September second fortnight- mean maximum relative humidity during March first fortnight and mean minimum relative humidity during March second fortnight and July first fortnight were found to be significantly correlated with the pepper yield of succeeding year. By combining three weather variables viz., mean maximum temperature during March first fortnight, mean maximum temperature during June second fortnight and mean minimum relative humidity during July first fortnight, a regression equation was derived with an R2 can be used in predicting the pepper yield at the end of July first fortnight.
