    Response of cowpea to irrigation and phosphorus
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1994) Santhakumari, G; Pillai, G R; Kuruvilla Varughese; Jose Mathew
    Investigations carried out in the rice fallows of the Agronomic Research Station, Chalakudy revealed that grain and green pod yields of cowpoa variety Kanakamani were significantly increased by irrigation and application of phosphorus. Irrigation at critical stages of branching, flowering and pod formation and irrigation at 1W/CPE = 0.75 were better schedules for the production of grain and green pods. The economic optimum dose of phosphorus was worked out to 30.0 and 36.8 kg P2C>5 ha for the production of grain and green pods, respectively.

    Irrigation management on yield stabilization and annual productivity of coconut
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1996) Jose Mathew; Piilai, G R; Santhakumari, G; Kuruvilla Varughese
    The impact of irrigation water management, with the treatments linked to climatic parameters, in coconut on inter-harvest yield variation and annual productivity was studied in a five-year field experiment.Yields got stabilized with adequate irrigation showing minimum fluctuation among harvests during different periods of the year.The data on per cent contribution of individual harvests, standard deviation, yield range between harvests and coefficient of variation clearly supported this argument. Based on yield trends and irrigation water consumption, irrigation at 50 mm CPE with 50 mm water was suggested as the best schedule for irrigating coconut during dry spell.
