Abstract

The growth and yield performance of ten cross combinations, NRCOP-21 to NRCOP-30 which were planted in 2010 in randomized block design with 03 replications and 06 palms per plot at a spacing of 9m X 9m X9m were evaluated. The results reveals that the growth of the palms with respect to stem height and stem girth was non significant. Maximum number of leaves (23.26), female flowers (10.60), Fresh Fruit Bunches (10.43), highest sex ratio (0.74), bunch weight (13.46Kg) and yield (20.10 t/ha) were observed in NRCOP-22. From the results it is evident that the performance of NRCOP-22 is the best under North Eastern Indian conditions.
