Abstract


The results of a spacing cum manurial experiment on coconut showed a marked and consistent response to the application of N, P, K fertilizers. There was indication of increased longevity of leaves due to manuring. The initiation of flowering was quickened by the application of fertilisers and to some extent by increased spacings. The initial yields were also higher under manuring. The wider spacing of 9.1 x 9.1 m appeared to be better than narrower spacings. The trend as judged from the initial growth, age at first flowering and initial yields was in favour of a combination of the widest spacing and the higher dose of fertilizers.
