ABSTRACT
Investigation was carried out to find out effect of retention of sprouts on bark and leaf yield of cinnamon at experimental farm, Regional Coconut Research Station, Bhatye, Ratnagiri during the year 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14 on variety 'Konkan Tej'. Seven treatments after coppicing of cinnamon trees were exposed on experimental plants viz., T1 – retention of one sprout, T2 – retention of two sprouts, T3 – retention of three sprouts, T4- retention of four sprouts, T5- retention of five sprouts, T6- retention of six sprouts and T7- retention of all sprouts as control. It was observed that total length of coppiced branches, length of peelable shoot, girth of coppiced branch at bottom and dry weight of bark differed significantly among the treatments in both the years. The maximum length and breadth of leaf was observed in treatment T1. Significantly maximum bark yield 232 g and leaf yield 1.25 kg per plant were recorded in treatment T5- retention of five sprouts. The study indicate that five sprouts could be retained after coppicing in cinnamon to obtain maximum yield of cinnamon bark and leaf.
