Item Effect of different plant densities on sunflower varieties in red loam soils(Kerala Agricultural University, 1978) Salam, M A; Sadanandan, N; Nair, K P M; Mohamed Kunju, UAn experiment was conducted at the College of Agriculture, Vellayani to study the effect of different spacings on the yield of sunflower varieties. The results revealed that closer spacing decreased the head diameter and number of seeds per head, but significantly increased the total yield of seed. Closer spacing of 30x20 cm gave a maximum yield of 2163.1 kg seeds per hectare. The varieties did not show any difference in yield potential.Item Note on optimum and economic doses of nitrogen and nitrogen utilisation efficiency of sunflower(Kerala Agricultural University, 1978) Salam, M A; Sadanandan, N; Mohamed Kunju, UItem Performance of sunflower varieties under graded doses of nitrogen in redloam soils of Kerala(Kerala Agricultural University, 1978) Salam, M A; Sadanandan, N; Nair, K P M; Mohamed Kunju, UAn experiment using three varieties of sunflower and three levels of nitrogen was conducted at the College of Agriculture, Vellayani during 1974 in order to assess the performance of sunflower varieties under different levels of nitrogen. The varieties tried were EC.68413, EC. 6841 4 and Sunrise selection. The levels of nitrogen were 40 kg, 90 kg and 120 kg per hectare. The results indicated that there was no significant difference among the varieties in plant height, total dry matter production, leaf area index net assimilation rate, lodging, head diameter, number of seeds per head, percentage of filled grains per head, 1000 seed weight and yield of seeds. But, there was significant difference in the yield of atover and oil and protein contents of seeds among them. The effects of incremental doses of nitrogen were significant in head diameter and yield of seeds. Maximum yield of 1887.1 kg seeds per hectare was obtained at 80 kg nitrogen per hectare.Item Thengukrishiykkoru marggarekha /തെങ്ങുകൃഷിക്കൊരു മാർഗ്ഗരേഖ(Kerala Agricultural University, 1993-07) Vahid, P A; Salam, M A; Nair, R R
