    Effect of weed management on growth and yield of Banana cv. Nendran musa (Aab
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1995) Premalatha, T; Alice Kurian; Suma, B; Radhakrishnan, T C
    A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of weed management on growth anil yield of banana cv. Nendran and to identify the critical stages of weeding so as to get maximum returns. Reduction in growth parameters was observed in plots unweeded up to harvest and up to six months after planting compared to frequent monthly weeded plots. Conventional weeding and weeding up to late vegetative phase and bunch maturation phase resulted in more or less similar effect with respect to growth characters, duration and yield. Hence weeding during the first six months is critical for maximum growth and higher yield. Conventional weeding was found to he the most economical practice in banana.

    Line X tester analysis for yield and processing characteristics in tomato
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1995) Alice Kurian; Peter, K V
    Combining ability analysis of 15 hybrids (3 lines x 5 testers) and 8 parents in tomato indicated the role(s) of additive gene action for the characters studied, demanding biparental approach and recurrent selection for improvement. Hybrids LE 206 x Ohio 8129 and Sakthi x TH 318 for total solids, Sakthi x HW 208 F and LE 206 x Ohio 8129 for insoluble solids and LE 206 x Ohio 8129 and LE 206 x St 64 for lycopene are promising for improvement of quality traits.

    Genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance for yield and processing characteristics in tomato
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1995) Alice Kurian; Peter, K V
    Genetic variability and heritability were studied in 64 tomato lines during September 1986 to January 1987. Significant difference was observed for all the characters studied. Index to earliness and fruit cracking showed high genotypic coefficient of variati on. High heritabili ty coupled with high genetic advance was recorded for insoluble solids and storage life.

    Floral biology of adapathiyan (Holostemma adakodien schult)
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1999) Manju, S; Alice Kurian
    An investigation on the floral biology of adapathiyan (Holastemma adakiidian Schult.y was undertaken at the college of Horticulture, Thrissur during the period 1995-1997. The inflorescence is axillary and cymose with bisexual flowers. Flowers open 25 to 28 days after bud initiation and passes through 12 different developmental phases before anthesis. Anthesis commences at 8.30 a.m. and extends up to 10.00 a.m. Anther dehiscence occurs on the fourth day of flower opening from 9.30 a.m. to I p.m. The maximum stigma receptivity was observed on the first day of flower opening. Size of the pollen grains ranged from SO to 75 um with 90-100 % fertility in Brew baker and Kwak's medium.
