Abstract:
Seedling progeny analysis of two different types of cashew namely
Kottarakara 1 and Kottarakara 27 was done by raising nursery of seedlings collected
from 30 mother trees each from the two types. The experiment was conducted at
the College of Agriculture, Vellayani during 1981 -82.
Analysis of seedling characters revealed that the two types differed
significantly in the recovery of vigorous seedlings. Kottarakkara 27 was found to
be significantly superiorto Kottarakkara 1 in this character. The recovery was more
from the medium yielding group compared to low and high yielders in both types
In the recovery of prepotent trees ths three yield groups as wall as the two types
werefound to be not significantly different.
