    Efficacy of certain growth regulators in inducing flowering in pineapple (Ananas Comosus)
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1978) Balakrishnan, S; Aravindakshan, M; Krishnan Nair, N
    A study was undertaken at Pineapple Research Centre, University Main Campus, Vellanikkara in 1976—77 to find a cheaper growth regulator for uniform flower induction in pineapple. The findings showed that a combination treatment of 25 ppm ethrel, 2% urea and 0.04% calcium carbonate was much effective than ethrel application alone ensuring higher percentage of flowering and poduction of better sized, shaped and uniform fruits. The cost of treatment was found to be low, 1.2 paise per plant.

    Effect of nitrogen nutrition on quality and storage behaviour of pineapple
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1980) Balakrishnan, S; Aravindakshan, M; Marykutty, K C; Valsamma Mathew
    In studies on the effect of different levels of nitrogen nutrition on fruit quality and storage behaviour of pineapple, it was found that at harvest, the maximum reducing sugars, brix to acid ratio and sugar to acid ratio were registered at lowest level of nitrogen at 8g/plant As the level of nitrogen was increased to 12g/plant, total sugars increased, but there was a decrease as the level was further increased to 16g/plant. Acidity and TSS showed an increasing trend with increasing levels of nitrogen. During cold storage, higher levels of nitrogen recorded a decrease in reducing sugars. Maximum increase in acidity was recorded by the lowest level of nitrogen under both storage conditions. Increase in nitrogen level upto 12g per plant was found to have a favourable influence on total sugars in both open and cold storage conditions. Better retention of brix to acid ratio in cold storage and to reducing sugars in open storage was observed when the nitrogen dose was increased to 16g/plant.

    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, S
    In 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.

    Studies on pollen storage in banana
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1986) Karmacharya, J K L; Aravindakshan, M; Valsalakumari, P K
    Studies on the pollen storage of four banana clones showed that the pollen viability could be maintained for the maximum period of 24 to 38 days, depending upon the clones, when the bracts with flowers intact were stored in the refrigerator (4"C). The clone Bodies Altafort exhibited the maximum storage life and the least rate of reduction of viability while Hybrid Sawai had the minimum storage life and maximum rate of reduction of viability.
