Abstract

Cashew is a cash crop having good export potentiality in gaining foreign exchange. The soil and water conservation measures were lack in coastal zone of Karnataka. In view of this, the present study was conducted in Ariyapu village, which is situated in coastal zone of Karnataka (zone-10) with operational area of putter Taluk, Dakshina Kannada District. The experiment was laid out in plot design with three replication having 108 plants in interaction between soil and water conservation measures and integrated nutrient levels were responded in normal planting. The experimental plants were seven years old with space of 8x6 m. the trench across the slope on four side conservation recorded highest cashew nut (10.79q/ha and 11.48q/ha during 2009 and 2010 respectively) yield in combination of organic and inorganic fertilizer levels. Similarly moisture content was also improved in the conservation method of trench across the slope on four side conservations.
