Item Pre-mature conversion of axillary vegetative buds into inflorescences in banana(Kerala Agricultural University, 1979) Nair, M N C; Krishnan Nair, NItem Optimum plot size for field trials with banana(Kerala Agricultural University, 1978) Prabhakaran, P V; Balakrishnan, S; Mary GeorgeThe data from a uniformity triai on banana was analysed for finding the optimum plot size for conducting field experiments. The results showed that single plant plots were most efficient. The co-efficient of variation of yield decreased steadily with increasing plot size. The empirical law suggested by Fairfield Smith gave a satisfactory fit to the data. The number of replications required for providing estimates with 5% standard error decreased with increased plot size, but the total experimental material required was minimum when single plant plots were used. However, as banana plants are liable for disease incidence, three plant plots are suggested for experiments.Item Effect of weight of suckers of nendran banana on plant growth and yield(Kerala Agricultural University, 1978) Nayar, N K; Balakrishnan, S; Shilaja, SItem Effect of top dressing with urea at flower initiation time in 'zanzibar' variety of banana(Kerala Agricultural University, 1979) Gopimony, R; Marykutty, K C; Kannan, KItem Cigar-end disease of banana(Kerala Agricultural University, 1980) Susamma Philip; Wilson, K I; Abraham, MItem Interclonal hybridisation in banana(Kerala Agricultural University, 1987) Aravindakshan, M; Valsalakumari, P K; Karmacharya, J K LItem Irrigation and mulching in nendran banana(Kerala Agricultural University, 1989) Pillai, G R; Kuruvilla Varughese; Jose Mathew; Santhakumari, GItem Genetic analysis of yield in banana(Kerala Agricultural University, 1990) Rosamma, C A; Narayanan Namboodiri, K MThe forty eight banana varieties showed significant differences with reference to the 18 characters studied and a large portion of variability in all the characters except length of individual finger was due to genetic factors. Out of 17 characters studied, 13 showed strong correlation with bunch weight. Heritability estimates in the broad sense was high (over 80%) for eleven components and moderately high (65 to 80%) for all the rest except length of individual finger. Genetic gain was highest for weight of individual finger which recorded maximum direct effect on bunch weight. Characters like total number of fingers per bunch, number of hands per bunch, bunch length and girth at the base of pseudostem at shooting time have positive direct effect on bunch weight while, girth of individual finger, total number of leaves per plant and leaf area contributed mainly through other characters. Selection index formulated using characters such as bunch weight, number of hands per bunch, bunch length, total number of fingers per bunch and weight of individual finger was the most effective.Item Fruit rot disease of banana cv. nendran caused by fusarium pallidoroseum (Cooke) Sacc., a new record(Kerala Agricultural University, 1992) Sathiarajan, P K; Govindan, MItem Weed management in banana cv. nendran with cowpea as an intercrop(Kerala Agricultural University, 1991) Nybe, E V; Abraham, C T; Suma, A
