Abstract:
Black pepper (
Piper nigrum) is a flowering vine in the family Piperaceae, cultivated for its fruit. Black pepper is native to Kerala in South India, and is extensively cultivated there and elsewhere and Vietnam is the world's largest producer and exporter of pepper. Overall production and productivity of black pepper is comparatively low in India as it is not grown as a pure crop in tropical regions. From the above study it is inferred that the black pepper variety Shubhakara performs comparatively better than the other variety selected in terms of growth parameters like Plant height, Number of branches, Number of shoots and survivability percentage. It can be concluded that the variety Shubhakra can be selected in monoculture of Black pepper in coastal region of Karnataka using Glyricidia as a standard.
