Black pepper
In black pepper , spraying with mixture 1 [Combination of potassium nitrate (0.5%), boric acid (0.3%), zinc sulphate (0.25%), ferrous sulphate (0.25%), magnesium sulphate (0.25%)] in three locations showed higher green berry yield (21.5 kg) /vine and dry berry yield (6.8 kg/vine) when compared to control (1.6 kg/vine).
The two accessions PN 33 and PN 57 are included in AICRP CVT trial in two centres (Sirsi and Panniyur)
Application of N @37.5 g/vine/year +50 g Azospirillum + 10kg FYM resulted in higher yield of green and dry berries
Organic pepper production – FYM 10 kg+50g Azospirillum + 50g Phosphobacteria + 200g VAM /vine/year is recommended
Summer irrigation @80-100 liter of water/vine at 15 days interval during summer (April-May) will promote early and uniform flowering.
Coffee
Application of NPK @ 120:90:120kg/ha./year along with 2.5 tonnes of calcium carbonate once in two years resulted in higher yield
Foliar spray of zinc sulphate 0.5% once in pre-blossom and another at 150 days later yield high ripe berry in coffee
Flower crops
Application of NPK @10:10:10 at 0.2% spray at 15 days interval and application of 100 g of Azospirillum once in a year resulted in increased spike yields in orchids.
Propagation of anthurium through double nodal cuttings treated with IBA 1500 ppm is recommended for higher rooting percentage
For commercial cultivation of anthurium, 80% shade is ideal for getting higher yield
Application of FYM 200 g + coir compost 100 g + Azospirillum and Phosphobacteria 2 g each + VAM 2 g at 2 months interval + 20 g Trichoderma viride spray at 15 days interval resulted in higher yield in anthurium
Application of 0.2% humic acid at 15 days interval for three times from 15th day after planting leads to higher yield and quality parameters in Gladioli
Fruits
Application of composted coffee pulp using earthworms and Streptomyces sp. increased nutrient uptake and assimilation in Orange
Application of 375 g of P2O5/ha as mussoriphos + VAM (500 g/tree) resulted higher yield in Mandarin Orange
Combination of Zn 0.5% + Mn 0.5% + Urea 1% as foliar spray increased fruit weight and yield in Mandarin Orange
Vermicomposed coffee pulp waste @ 100 g/plant resulted in high bio-mass in mandarin orange
Application of 600 : 300 : 600 g NPK /tree resulted in higher yield in Pomegranate
Spray of 1% KCl from bud stage to harvest at an interval of 15 days increased fruit yield in Pomegranate
Application of 600 : 300 : 60 g NPK/tree in two split doses during March and September resulted higher fruit yield in Pomegranate
Application of 375 : 203 : 375 g NPK/tree in two split doses during March and September recorded higher fruit yield in Annona crop
Spray of Thiophonate methyl 0.1% or Chlorothalonil 0.2% or Copper oxychloride 0.25% controled fruit rot disease in Timla Fig.
Mushroom
Shitake Mushroom (Lentinellus polytricha) cultivation on substrates of silver oak leaves + saw dust + paddy straw + wheat bran 20% is recommended for higher yield.
