Drying of Cashew nut to remove testa is one of the most energy-intensive processes of cashew nut process industry. For this reason a hybrid dryer consisting of a solar flat plate collector, a biomass heater and a drying chamber is designed and fabricated. 40 kg of Cashew nut with initial moisture of 9 % is used in the experiment. The performance test of the dryer is carried out in two modes of operation: hybrid-forced convection and hybrid-natural convection. Drying time and drying efficiency during these two modes of operation are estimated and compared with the sun drying. The system is capable of attaining drying temperature between 50o and 70oC. In the hybrid forced drying, the required moisture content of 3% is achieved within 7 hours and the average system efficiency is estimated as 5.08%. In the hybrid natural drying, the required moisture content is obtained in 9 hours and the average system efficiency is 3.17%. The fuel consumption during the drying process is 0.5 kg/hr and 0.75 kg/hr for forced mode and natural mode, respectively. The drying process in the hybrid forced mode of operation is twice faster than the sun drying. The dryer can be operated in any climatic conditions: as a solar dryer on normal sunny days, as a biomass dryer at night time and as a hybrid dryer on cloudy days. Based on the experimental study, it is concluded that the developed hybrid dryer is suitable for small scale cashew nut farmers in rural areas of developing countries.

A Study on Trend and Growth of Cashew Nuts Production in Tamil Nadu

An experiment was conducted to study the “Performance of gladiolus varieties for growth and corm yield under Eastern Uttar Pradesh condition”. Healthy and uniform corms of 31 gladiolus varieties were planted during October 2017 and experiment was carried out in Randomized Block Design with three replications. Corms of healthy and disease-free varieties of Indian and exotic origin were planted during month of October, 2017. Among varieties, cv. Punjab Dawn found to be early in days to sprouting and cv. Purple Flora was most late. Cultivar Nova Lux found to have maximum width of scape at 20 DAP and cv. American Beauty at 35 and 50 DAP and found minimum in cultivar Flevo Leguna, Punjab Morning and Purple Flora at 20, 35, and 50 DAP, respectively. Cv. Dhanvantari found superior amongst the cultivars for plant height at 20, 35 and 50 DAP, whereas minimum was observed in cultivars BTS at 20 DAP and Flevo Leguna at 35 and 50 DAP. Cultivar Punjab Morning exhibited best performance for number of corms per plant and minimum in cultivar Pink Friendship. Germplasm BTS was found superior with respect to the weight of corm, number of cormels per plant and weight of cormels per plant whereas cultivar American Beauty had bigger corm size.

The Transition of World Cashew Industry and the Challenges to India

Cashew (Anacardium occidentale L.), often referred to as „wonder nut‟, is one of the most valuable processed nuts traded on the global commodity markets and is also an important cash crop. It has the potential to provide source of livelihood for the cashew growers, empower rural women in the processing sector, create employment opportunities and generate foreign exchange through exports. The term “Cashew” has originated from the Brazilian name „Acajaiba‟ and the Tupi name „Acaju‟ which the Portuguese converted into „Caju‟ and is commonly known as „Kaju‟ in India. It is known as „Paragi Andi‟ in Kerala meaning foreign nut, „Lanka Beeja‟ in Orissa assuming its introduction from Sri Lanka and „Mundri‟ indicating the shape of the nut in Tamil Nadu. Cashew is cultivated mainly in the Asian, African and Latin American zones
