    Effect of different planting methods and seed sizes on the growth and yield of colocasia (Colocasia Esculenta (L.) Schott)
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1981) Kamalam Joseph; Mohammed Kunju, U; Nair, K P M
    A field experiment was conducted during 1978-79 at the Agricultural College Farm, Vellayani, Kerala, to study the effect of different methods of planting (pit, ridge and furrow) and sizes of planting materials (small cormels of 15-25 g, size, medium cormels of 35-45 g size, large cornrts of 55-65 g size and corms of 60-70 g size) on the growth and yield of colocasia (Colocasia escufenta (L.) Schott. Among the different methods of planting, furrow method hastened germination and increased the plant height, leaf area, LAI, average weight of corm and total tuber yield. Among the different sizes of planting material, larger size' groups hastened germination and increased the plant height. Average corm weight and total tuber yield were the maximum in the case of medium sized cormels.

    Effect of slow release nitrogenous sources on growth and yield of rice variety: jaya
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1977) Oommen, M; Sadanandan, N; Mohammed Kunju, U; Sasidhar, V K
    An investigation was carried out at the Model Agronomic Research Station, Karamana during the second crop season 1975 to study the comparative efficiency of different slow release nitrogen sources on growth, yield and yield contributing attributes of rice variety Jaya. All the slow release nitrogen sources were superior to ordinary untreated urea. Highest percentage of productive tillers was recorded by neem cake blended urea followed by AM treated urea. The weight of panicle was maximum in AM treated urea followed by neem cake blended urea. AM treated urea also gave the highest number of spikelets per panicle. Thousand grain weight, yield of grain and straw were maximum in AM treated urea followed by neem cake blended urea. AM treated urea gave an average yield of 4687kg/ha followed by neem cake blended urea which gave 4296kg/ha. The minimum grain yield of 2688kg/ha was given by untreated urea.

    Intercropping banana varieties in coconut gardens
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1988) Rajan, K C; Geethakumari, V L; Mohammed Kunju, U; Elizabeth Syriac, K
    Among the four varieties tried, Palayamthodan wjs found to be the best followed by Monthan for intercropping in coconut gardens. It can be concluded that two ratoons of Palayamthodan with threo suckers par hill in tha second and third years is the most remunerative systems. Though the per hestaro yield was satisfactory in S2 find S3 systems individual bunch wsight was reduced in second ratoon. The highest B/C ratio of 3.32 was recorded by Palayamthodan with truoa sucker por hill. Bunchy top disease incidence was maximum in Nendran especially in the ratoon crops with two or three suckers per hill in tha second and third years.
