    Genetic variability and correlations in sugarcane hybrid clones
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1993) Alice Antony; Manikantan Nair, P; Gopinathan Nair, V
    A field trial with selected sugarcane hybrid clones of the intervarietal cross Co 775 x Co 453 was conducted at the Sugarcane Research Station, Thiruvalla to study the different genetic parameters in the settling progeny. High heritability was observed for shoot count, total weight of cane, number of miIIable canes, length of internode, length and girth of cane and weight of single cane at harvest. Cane yield and its components displayed low coefficients of variation. Correlation studies indicated that cane yield has positive correlation with all majoreconomicaltributes except U.K. Brix. The closest association of cane yield with number of millablc canes at harvest was well established with the present study. The study suggested that probabilities of varieties combining higher yield and quality attributes are remote.

    Performance evaluation of banana cultivars in the reclaimed alluvial soils as intercrop in coconut gardens
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1995) Alice Antony; Inasi, K A
    Field experiments with different banana cultivars were conducted during the period 1988-92 in the coconut gardens of the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Kumarakom, Kerala to identify promising dessert and culinary types having good performance in the plant and ratoon crops. The results revealed that Palayankodan (AAB) was the host suited dessert cultivar for intercropping in coconut gardens since it gave the highest yield and highest net returns per ha in plant and ratoon crops. The study also indicated the suitability of Bathesa (ABB) and Monthan (ABB) the culinary types, for coconut gardens.
