Abstract

In the present study response of light black pepper verities for propagation through serpentine layering was studied. Verities showed significant variations with respect to growth attributing parameters, survivability and numbers of layers per year. Maximum survivability (93.00 % and 88.33 %) at 30 and 90 days after cutting was found in Panniyur-1. Maximum planting material production per year was achieved in Panniyur-1 (51.17) which was higher than the rest of the varieties but was statistically at par with Panniyur-2 (50.50) and Pournami (50.17). These three varieties may be considered for higher production of planting materials through serpentine layering method.
