Relative performance of coconut hybrids in Tamil Nadu

Abstract

                                Fourteen coconut hybrids developed at four coconut research centres in Southern India were evaluated for their morphological, nut and yield attributes at Coconut Research Station, Veppankulam to identify superior hybrid combinations for cultivation in Tamil Nadu. Among the hybrids studied, WCT x MYD, WCT x COD, LCT x PHOT and ECT x CGD were found to be outstanding with high nut, copra and oil yield. These hybrids are found to be suitable for cultivation in Tamil Nadu.

Key words : Coconut, Hybrid, Nut yield, Copra yield.
