Abstract:
Breeding of cashew was undertaken at the Cashew Research Station
at Kottarakara and Anakkayam in Kerala during the period 1963 to 1973 and
216 hybrid progenies from 28 parental combinations were produced. From
studies conducted so far on the hybrids planted during 1963 and 1964, two
hybrid H-3-17 and H-4-7 were selected as promising for large scale cultivation
under Kerala conditions.
