Abstract

iStudies oil the growth, fruiting cycle and oospore output in Turbinaria
decurrens, carried out for one year from March 1972 to February 1973 are presented
in this papsr. Young plants of T. decurrens, observed in the natural habitats
in May and June, grow to maximum size in the period from December to February.
Plants with receptacles occur for eleven months from August to June, with large
nunibsr of fruiting plants in the peak growth season from December to February.
Periodicity was not seen in the liberation of oospores and during the fruiting
season peak output erf spores was observed in November. From this study, it is
suggested that the period December-January is suitable for harvesting the crop
of T. decurrens in the localities around Mandapam.
