About the Practice
Problem Statement:

Variety of Cardamon

Detail:

The PNS- Vaigai seed size is large compared to the local variety Njallani. The yield is higher and consistent: 900-1400 kg/acre from 1996 till date. The number of internodes (average 40-45) is higher than in the locally popular varieties. The rhizomes are bigger, bolder bearing 3-4 inflorescences each, which in turn bear around 25-32 racemes each. The rind (skin of capsule) is thin and hence the recovery percentage is higher than Njallani. In addition, there is no difficulty in post harvesting. In fact, the driage recovery has been higher than in the local variety.
