A new coconut hybrid VHC 2 was synthesised by combining ECTX MDY. This hybrid possessed high yield potential than the local ECT in terms of nut and copra yields. VHC 2 is characterised by low values for bunch buckling and leaf drooping which are the disadvantages commonly met in T x D hybrids. VHC 2 is recommended for commercial cultivation in Tamil Nadu.
Keywords: Coconut hybrid, Nut yield.
