    Genetic variability and correlations in cowpea Vigna Sinensis (L) savi
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1979) Sreekumar, S G; Ramachandran Nair, Y; Saraswthy, P; Mary K George; Thomas, E J
    43 different genotypes of cowpea were grown in a Randomized block design with 2 replications during Khariff 1978. The different genetic parameters viz. coefficient of Phenotypic and genotypic variation, heritability in broad sense and genetic advance were calculated. The study revealed that all the characters showed positive phenotypic and genotypic correlations with yield. High heritability and genetic advance were noticed for 100 grain weight, yield of grain and yield of haulms. This indicate that selection based on the above characters will be very effective for the improvement of the crop.

    Gujarath cowpea 2 (Chharodi 1) - an ideal cowpea variety for intercropping in coconut garden
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1993) Sreekumar, S G; Gopinathan Nair, V; Balakrishnan Asan, R
    Comparative yield trials were conducted with nine varieties of cowpea for three years during kharif in the interspaces of coconut garden at the Instructional Farm, Vellayani. Based on the comparative yield trials' result, Gujaralh Cowpea 2 (Chharodi 1) variety of cowpea was selected and advanced to farm trial at seven locations in Thiruvananlhapu ram district during kharif 1989 along with C 152 and local variety. The variety Gujarath Cowpea 2 (Chharodi 1), which recorded a highest grain yield in farm trials was recommended for cultivation in the interspaces of coconut garden in Thiruvananlhapuram district during kharif.
