    Nutritional requirement of green gram (Vigna Radiata (L.) Wilczek) grown in rice fallows
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1981) Savithri, K E; Nair, K P M; Oommen, M; Abdul Salam, M
    A field experiment to study the effect of three graded levels each of nitrogen (20, 30 and 40 kg/ha), phosphorus (30, 45 and 60 kg Pa05/ha) and potash (10, 20 and 30 kg K20/ha) on the yield and quality of green gram variety, Pusa Baisakhi grown in rice fallows of the Instructional Farm, College of Agriculture, Vellayani, Trivandrum has shown that the grain yield was significantly increased by highest level of potash over the lowest level and bhusa yield by highest level of nitrogen over the lower levels. Levels of nutrients had no significant influence on grain protein content, but highest level of potash significantly increased the grain protein yield over the lowest level. In the case of protein content of bhusa, higher levels of potash showed an adverse effect whereas fodder protein yield was not significantly affected by the treatments.

    Response of mahsuri to major nutrients and schedule of nitrogen application
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1992) Savithri, K E; Janardhanan Pillai, S; Chidananda Pillai, M R; Tomy, P J
    Experiments conducted at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Pattambi during the three consecutive wet seasons from 1982-83 to 1984-85 revealed that under transplanted condition, a fertilizer dose of 50:25:25 kg NPK/ha is sufficient for Mahsuri. The best schedule of application of nitrogen is 50% as basal, 25% at 40 DAT and the remaining 25% at 60 DAT.

    Efficiency of pre-emergence herbicides in transplanted rice
    (Kerala Agricultural University, 1994) Savithri, K E; Chidananda Pilial, M R; Tomy, P J
    Experiments conducted at the Regional Agricultural Research Station, Pattambi during die first (kharif) and second (rabi) crop seasons of 1983-84 and 1984-85 revealed that weed growth and crop-weed competition were below the threshold level in transplanted rice. However, among the different herbicides tried, application of granular formulation of butachlor (Delchlor 5G) © 1.5 kg ai ha six days after transplanting was found to be die most effective for controlling weeds in transplanted rice.
