Abstract


It may be seen that the area under plantains has nearly doubled and with the present slump in the paddy market continuing and with the relatively better prices for plantains, the area under plantains is likely to increase. Soil. The wet-land soil of this tract is a sandy loam, well drained and the depth of the soil varies from 4 to 4½ feet. Years of manur- ing and cultivation have made the soils very fertile. The rich silt brought down with the irrigation water has also contributed to raise the fertility of the soil.
