    Effect of irrigation and mulching oh the growth and yield of pineapple (Ananas Comosus L.)
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1988) Kuruvilla Varughese; Pillai, G R; Jose Mathew; Santhakumari, G; Gopi, C S
    A field experiment was conducted in a sandy loam soil of the Agronomic Research Station, Chalakudy, Kerala for four years from 1981 to 1985 to study the response of irrigation and mulching on tha growth and yield of pineapple. Both irrigation and mulching influenced the fruit yield significantly. The study revealed that irrigating pineapple during summer months at 0.6 IW/CPE ratio (5 cm depth of water) and mulching the crop with dry leaves @6000 kg/ha was optimum. It requires fivato six irrigations during the dry months at an interval of 22 days.

    Effect of water management and lime on iron toxicity and yield of paddy
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1996) Durga Devi, K M; Gopi, C S; Santhakumari, G; Prahhakaran, P V
    A field experiment was conducted during rabi and summer seasons of 1991-92 in paddy fields of Chalakudy Command Area, in order to study the effect of a single top dressing of lime on iron toxicity and yield of paddy under different water management practices. Considerable reduction in Fe' * concentration could be noticed in soil as well as plant during the period of panicle initiation when lime was applied entirely as one top dressing (at 20 days after transplanting or 30 days after sowing). Application of lime 9 500 kg ha' as single top dressing resulted significantly higher grain and straw yields of paddy as compared to lime >8> 300 kg ha ', 900 kg ha ' and no lime application. The economic level of lime for getting maximum profit from grain and straw was 568 kg ha ' and 635 kg ha1 for the rabi and summer crops respectively.
