Abstract

                                Field experiment conducted at coconut research station, Veppankulam during 1998-2000 revealed that raising sunnhemp in nursery three times (each harvested at flowering stage) followed by one hand weeding at 6th month was found to be the best management practice as it appreciably controlled the weed infestation and produced more quality seedlings (78.9%) besides yielding green manure for manuring the adult coconut palms.

Key words : Coconut, Sunnhemp, Weed, Seedlings.
