Item Effect of different light intensities on the vegetative characters and leaf analysis of pineapple variety 'kew'(Kerala Agricultural University, 1980) Radha, T; Aravindakshan, M; Balakrishnan, SIn studies on the influence of different intensities of shade on the growth behaviour and nutrient status of leaves of pineapple plants, it was found that the pineapple plants tolerated shaded situations even upto 75 per cent. Under shaded situations, increased leaf area and higher contents of nitrogen, magnesium and chlorophyll in leaves were recorded.Item Some successful crosses in pineapple(Kerala Agricultural University, 1994) Radha, T; Pushkaran, K; Jacob John, PItem Physico-chemical analysis of alphonso and bangalora varieties of mango(Kerala Agricultural University, 1996) Radha, T; Nair, S R; Sreejaya, K CItem Effect of plant densities and nitrogen on the yield and quality of kew pineapple(Kerala Agricultural University, 1996) Radha, T; Chadha, K LReduction in individual fruit size was resulted with increased plant density in Kew pineapple. However, the estimated yields indicated a reverse pattern owing to the increased number of plants under high density systems. Increased nitrogen levels favourably influenced the fruit measurements and estimated yields. The quality attributes were not influenced by plant densities whereas, nitrogen levels showed significant effects on quality parameters also.Item Studies on fruit drop in mango varieties(Kerala Agricultural University, Vellanikara, 2003) Anila, R; Radha, TPage Header OPEN JOURNAL SYSTEMS Journal Help USER Username Password Remember me NOTIFICATIONS View Subscribe JOURNAL CONTENT Search Search Scope Browse By Issue By Author By Title FONT SIZE Make font size smallerMake font size defaultMake font size larger INFORMATION For Readers For Authors For Librarians HOME ABOUT LOGIN SEARCH CURRENT ARCHIVES REGISTRATION FOR NEW AUTHORS Home > Journal of Tropical Agriculture > Anila Studies on fruit drop in mango varieties R. Anila, T. Radha Abstract Studies on fruit set and fruit drop were carried out in Kerala Agricultural University on six varieties of mango during 2000-2001. The season of flowering in majority of the varieties was during December–January months except in Neelum in which it was during April-May. The number of inflorescence per square metre ranged from 23.6 to 7.0 and was the maximum in Prior and minimum in Alphonso and Neelum. In the case of percentage of bisexual flowers Alphonso had the maximum (44.39%)bisexual flowers and Muvandan had the minimum. Variation in length, breadth, colour and density of inflorescence was noticed among the varieties. Initial fruit set ranged from 5.39 to 8.45 fruits per inflorescence. Drop occurred to the tune of 50% during the initial 15 days and continued for 45 days. Maximum drop was noted in Alphonso (89.93%) and the minimum in H-151 (79.6%).Item Physico-chemical analysis of mango varieties under Kerala conditions(Kerala Agricultural University, Vellanikara, 2003) Anila, R; Radha, TAn evaluation of physical, morphological and biochemical characters of four varieties and two hybrids of mango were made under Kerala conditions. It was observed that Ratna fruits had the maximum length, breadth, weight, volume and circumference. The minimum contribution of stone to fruit weight was in Ratna and the maximum in Muvandan. Fruits of hybrids Ratna and H-151 recorded the highest values of TSS sugar and ascorbic acid contents. The overall perusal of the data revealed that hybrid variety Ratna had all the desirable characteristics in terms of length, breadth, weight, volume, circumference, minimum stone weight, TSS and sugar content.
