Present recommendations, knowledge and justification :

In recent years vanilla prices have sky rocketed in theInternational Market. Now the present situation in the World market with

regard to vanilla essence has tremendously increased, Hence there will be

good demand for the natural vanilla There fore to evaluate vanilla

it different spacing the investigation is designed.

Techniques to be adopted :

a) Design : RBD

b) Treatments : Four

Spacing at 1 x 1 mt, 1.5 x 1.5mt, 2 x 2 mt, 2.5 x 2.5 mt

c) Replications : Four

d) Plot size : Five vines / treatment will beused to collect data.

Expected benefit to farmers on adoption :

Optimum number of vines can be grown in unit area

and the income of farmers can be increased by judicious

utilization of space in the polyhouse

justification

Vanilla is being grown in Visakhapatnam, Vizianagaram

districts of north coastal zone,due to the encouragement given by

Department of Horticulture. However, there is no scientific knowledgegenerated and technology available on vanilla and inter crops in it with

ANGRAU. The information generated through this experiment will fill

the gap
