Abstract

The effect of the size of the slip on plant growth fruit weight and quality in graded and mixed plantings was studied in a plant crop of 'Singapore Spanish' pineapple. The planting of large slips resulted in more vigorous plants and heavier fruits than those from smaller slips. Large slips also produced fruit with a higher acid content than did the small ones. Except for plant height at the ninth month, graded planting did not show any advantage over mixed planting.
