dc.description.abstract |
Growing intercrops am basal stem rot affected coconut plantations reduced the incidence of the disease.
Among the intercrops, banana was very effective in containing the disease. Intercropping in diseased
plantations increased the coconut yield. The population of fungi, actinomycetes and the antagonistic
organism Trichoderma spp increased significantly in soils of intercropped coconut. The population of
bacterial biofertilizers phosphobacteria, Azotobacter and Azospirillum was also higher in intercropped
plots. |
