Introduction
The coconut palm is referred to as 'Kalpavriksha' - the 'tree of heaven' as each and every part of the palm is useful to mankind in one way or other. It provides food,
drink, fuel and timber. Millions of families in India depend on coconut for their livelihood either directly or indirectly India ranks third in area and production of
coconut in the world. The four southern states viz . Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh are the major coconut producing states in India accounting
for more than 90 per cent of area and production. There is a great scope for enhancing the productivity of coconut through adoption of scientific cultivation
technologies, which are described here under.

Climate and soil

The coconut palm is found to grow under varying climatic and soil conditions. It is essentially a tropical plant, growing most!y between 20° N and 20° S latitudes.
The ideal temperature for coconut growth and yield is 27 ± 5° C and humidity > 60 per cent. The coconut palm grows well upto an elevation of 600 m above MSL.
However, near the equator, productive coconut plantations can be established up to an elevation of about 1000 m above MSL. The palms tolerate wide range in
intensity and distribution of rainfall. However, a well distributed rainfall of about 200 cm per year is the best for proper growth and higher yield. In areas of
inadequate rainfall with uneven distribution, irrigation is required.

Cultivars and hybrids

Basically, coconut cultivars are classified into two groups viz., tall and dwarf.

The tall cultivars that are extensively grown are the West Coast Tall and East Coast Tall. The dwarf variety is shorter in stature and its life span is short as compared
to the tall. Tall x Dwarf (TxD), Dwarf x Tall (DxT) are the two important hybrids.

There are 10 different combination of hybrids, developed by Kerala Agriculture University and Tamil Nadu Agriculture University and released for commercial
cultivation. They are high yielders under the good management conditions. Laccadive Ordinary, Andaman Ordinary, Philippines, Java, Cochin-China, Kappadam
etc. are the other tall cultivars under cultivation.

Hybrids

Planting Material
Coconut is propagated through seedlings raised from selected seednuts. Generally 9 to 12 month old seedlings are used for planting. Select
seedlings, which have 6-8 leaves and 10-12 cm collar girth when they are 9-12 month old. Early splitting of leaves is another criteria in the
selection of coconut seedling.

Site Selection
Shallow soils with underlying hard rock, low lying areas subject to water stagnation and clayey soils are to be avoided. Proper supply of moisture either through well
distributed rainfall or through irrigation should be ensured before planting.

Preparation of Land and Planting

On slopes and in areas of undulating terrain, prepare the land by contour terracing or bunding. In low-lying areas mounds are to be formed at planting site to a
height of at least 1m above water level. In reclaimed ‘kayal’ areas, seedlings are planted on field bunds.

In loamy soils with low water table, a pit size of 1mx1mx1m is recommended. In laterite soils with underlying rocks, take larger pits of size 1.2m x 1.2m x 1.2m. In
sandy soils the size need not exceed 0.75m x 0.75m x 0.75 m.

5/26/23, 11:15 PM Coconut cultivation practices — Vikaspedia

Spacing depends upon the planting system, soil type etc. In general the following spacing are recommended under
different planting system in sandy and laterite soils.

Spacing and Systems of Planting

Planting system Spacing

Triangular 7.6m

Square 7.6x7.6m, 8x8m, 9x9 m

Single 6.5m in rows - 9m between rows.

Double Hedge 6.5 to 6.5m in rows - 9m between pairs of rows

Time of Planting
Seedlings can be transplanted in the beginning of the south west monsoon. If irrigation facilities are available, it is advisable to take up planting at least a month
before the onset of the monsoon so that the seedlings get well established before heavy rains. Planting can also be taken up before the onset of the north-east
monsoon. In low-lying areas subject to inundation during monsoon period, transplanting may be done after the cessation of the monsoon.

Planting
Before planting the pits are filled up with top soil and powdered cow dung / compost up to a depth of 50 to 60 cm. Then take a small pit inside this, so as to
accommodate the nut attached to the seedling. Plant the seedling inside this pit and fill up with soil. Press the soil well so as to avoid water stagnation. If there is
chance for white-ant attack apply Sevidol 8G (5gm.) inside the small pit before planting.

In laterite areas apply 2 kg common salt per pit for improving the physical condition of the soil. Burying 25 to 30 coconut husks per pit in layers will be useful for
moisture conservation.

Care of young Palms

The transplanted seedlings should be shaded and irrigated adequately during the summer months. Also provide staking so that winds may not uproot the young
seedlings. For the first two years after planting, irrigate the seedling twice a week during the dry summer months. Shading is a must to the transplanted seedlings.

Manuring
Regular manuring from the first year of planting is essential to achieve higher productivity. For coconut 20 - 50 kg organic manure
should be applied per palm per year with the onset of south west monsoon, when soil moisture content is high. Different forms of
organic manures like compost, farm yard manure, bone meal, fish meal, blood meal, neem cake, groundnut cake etc. could be
made use for this purpose. In addition to this the following Fertilizer Schedule is recommended.

The fertiliser schedule recommended for the palm at different stages is as follows:-

Quantity of fertilizer to be applied (gm)

Age of Palm Nutrient dosage Ammo. Sulphate Urea Super or Ultraphos/ Muriate
Phosphate Rock Phosphate of
(single) Potash

2. Hybrid and high yielding palms:

a. Under Irrigated condition:

3 months 1/10 of full dose 490 220 280 180 335

1 year 1/3 of full dose 1625 720 930 600 1110

2 year 2/3 of full dose 3250 1450 1850 1200 2220

3 year onwards full dose 4880 2170 2780 1800 3330

(b) Under rainfed condition:

Same as that of good management under general recommendation.

The full adult doze recommended for the rainfed tall is 0.34kg N, 0.17kg P and 0.68kg K. For the hybrids and irrigated talls the general recommendation is 0.5kg
N, 0.34kg P and 1.0kg. K subject to changes in accordance with soil test and/or foliar analysis data.

In addition to the above dose of fertilizers two to three kgs. of finally ground dolomite lime stone or 0.5 kg. Magnesium sulphate per palm per year is also
recommended for use in acidic soils, light sandy soils and in root wilt affected tracts in Kerala. The dolomite may be broadcasted prior to the onset of monsoon in
the basins and forked in and should not be applied along with other fertilizers. There is however no harm in applying magnesium sulphate along with other
fertilizers.

Irrigation
Soil moisture very often limits coconut production in those areas where long spell of dry weather prevail or where the rainfall is scanty and ill-distributed. So irrigate
the palms during summer months in basins around the palm. The irrigation requirement varies according to the soil type and climatic condition. Generally, an adult
palm requires 600 to 800 litres of water once in four to seven days. Irrigate in basins of 1.8m radius and 10-20 cm depth. In coastal sandy soils, sea water can be
used for irrigating adult palms. Do not irrigate seedlings and very young palms upto 2 year with sea water. In irrigated gardens interruption of irrigation would lead to
serious set-back in yield and general condition of palms. Hence, when once started irrigation should be continued regularly and systematically. Drip irrigation is the
best suited method of irrigation for coconut. It saves water, labour and energy.

Inter-cultivation
Only minimum tillage is required for coconut. Inter-cultural operations are mainly intended to control weeds and to provide aeration to the soil. If these objectives are
met, any tillage system (ploughing / digging, making mounds) is as good as another and can be followed depending upon the local conditions.

Husk Burial
Burying fresh or dried coconut husks around the palm is a very beneficial practice particularly for moisture retention especially in drought prone areas. The husk can
be buried either in linear trenches taken 3 m away from the trunk between rows of palms or in circular trenches taken around the palm at a distance of 2 m from the
trunk. The trenches may be dug at 0.5 m wide and at the same depth. The husks are to be placed in layers with concave surface facing upwards and covered with
soil. The beneficial effects of husk burial will last for about 5-7 years.

Green Manure and Cover Crops

5/26/23, 11:15 PM Coconut cultivation practices — Vikaspedia

This will help to increase the organic matter content of the soil and also will prevent soil erosion in coconut gardens. The following Green manure / cover crops are
recommended for cultivation in coconut gardens.

Crotalaria juncea (Sunnhemp)

Tephrosia purpurea
Gliricidia maculata
Calapagonium muconoides
Mimosa invisa

Sow the green manure / cover crops during April-May with the onset of pre-monsoon showers. The green manure crops should be ploughed in and incorporated in
the soil during August-September.

Mixed / Inter / Multi-species Cropping System in Coconut Garden

Schedule for inter-mixed cropping may be drawn up based on the canopy size and orientation of palms. A variety of
intercrops like pineapple, banana, elephant-foot yam, groundnut, chillies, sweet potato, tapioca and different
vegetables can be raised in coconut garden. In older plantation cocoa, cinnamon, pepper, clove, nutmeg etc. can be
grown as mixed crops. However, these inter/mixed crops are to be adequately and separately manured in addition to
the manures applied to the coconut palm

Mixed farming by raising fodder grasses such as Hybrid Napier or Guinea grass along with leguminous fodder crops
such as Stylosanthes has been found to be profitable. Raising the above crops in one ha. of coconut garden can

Mixed Farming
support three to four diary animals. The animals supply large quantities of cattle manure which when applied to the soil will improve its fertility status. This sort of
mixed farming will improve the yield of the palm.

Plant Protection
Pests

The major insect pests of the coconut palm are the rhinoceros beetle, the red palm weevil, the black headed caterpillar, the cockchafer beetle and the coreid bug.
Adopt suitable remedial measures as and when required. The following table gives the major symptoms and control measures.

Rhinoceros Beetle

Symptoms

The adult beetle bores into the unopened fronds and spathes. Attacked fronds when fully opened show characteristic geometric
cuts.

Control measures
Hook out the beetle from the attacked palms using beetle hook.

As a prophylactic measure, fill up the top most three leaf axils with Sevidol 8G(25g) + fine sand (200g) thrice in April, September
and December.
OR
Place 10.5g naphthalene balls in the leaf axils and cover it with fine sand.
To be practiced once in 45 days.
Spraying 0.01% Carbaryl (50WP) in the breeding sites of the beetle help destroy the larva.
Biological control using the virus Baculovirus oryctus (release 10 - 15 virus infected beetles in 1 ha
AND
Green muscardine fungus, Metarrizhium anisopliae (spray 250ml Metarrizhium culture + 750ml water in manure pits and other breeding sites of the beetle)
Practice clean cultivation.

Red Palm Weevil

Symptoms

Presence of holes on the stem, oozing out of viscous brown fluid and extrusion of chewed up fibres through the hole.

https://vikaspedia.in/agriculture/crop-production/package-of-practices/plantation-crops/coconut/coconut-cultivation-practices 5/10
5/26/23, 11:15 PM Coconut cultivation practices — Vikaspedia

Some times the gnawing sound produced by the feeding grubs will be audible.
In the advanced stage of infestation yellowing of the inner whorl of leaves occur.
The crown falls down or dry up later when palm is dead.
Control measures

Practice clean cultivation by cutting and removing palms already damaged and the decaying stumps in the garden. Such palms
should be split open and the different stages of pest inside burned off.
Avoid injury to the trunk as the pest lay eggs in these wounds. Wounds if any, should be pasted
with a mixture of carbaryl / Thiodan and soil. While cutting leaves, retain at least 1m of petiole.
Use pheromone trap for attracting weevils and kill the collected ones.
If rhinoceros beetle attack is prevalent, follow the recommended measures.
Use fungicides if leafrot / bud rot is noticed as the weevil lays eggs in such palms.
Inject attacked palms with 1% Carbaryl (20gm/litre). Plug the holes in damaged region and pour the insecticide suspension
into a slanting hole made above the damaged portion using a funnel. Then plug this hole also. If needed repeat after one
week.

Black headed Caterpillar

Symptoms

Severity of attack is seen during January to May. The caterpillar feeds on green matter from lower leaf surface, remaining
within silk and frass gallaries. In severe attack all the green matter of the leaves will be eaten up.

Control measures

Biological control is very effective against this pest through release of parasitoids like Gorriozus nephantidis, Elasmus
nephantidis and Brachimeria nosatoi. In case of severe attack, remove the affected leaves and destroy by burning. Then
spray the under surface of leaves with 0.02% Dichlorvos (Dichlorvos 100EC).

Coreid Bug
Symptoms
The attacked buttons do not develop resulting in immature nut fall. The nuts if developed may become barren.
Control measures
Pesticide application is necessary if infection is severe. Spraying has to be done 3 times a year. Apply 0.1% Carbaryl on the inflorescence after the receptive phase
of the female flowers. Destruction of pollinating insects can be avoided if spraying is done in afternoon hours. Tying perforated polybags (2 bags/palm) containing
2.5g phorate on to the stalk of inflorescence is also effective.

Rats
Symptoms - Attack tender nuts resulting in immature nut fall.
Control measures

Entry of rats on to the trunk can be prevented by fixing mechanical barriers upto 2m height from ground level using 40cm sized G.I. sheets.
Use rat traps.
Poison baiting with zinc phosphide or warfarin.
Fumigate the hiding places using Aluminium phosphide tablets.
Place wax blocks containing the poison Bromodioline @ 30 blocks per ha (each weighing 10g) on 5 palms. Repeat after 12 days. Practice this two times
for reducing rat population.

Mealy Bugs and Scale Insects

Symptoms - During summer months mealy bugs cause damage to spindle leaves, spathes and bunches and the scale insects make encrustations on the
foliage. The infested turn yellow and finally dry up.
Control measures
Two rounds of spray with 0.1% Fenthion or 0.05% Monocrotophos.
In the case of scale insects spraying with dimethoate or monocrotophos 0.05% is efficacious.

Termites

Symptoms - It is estimated that nearly 20% of the coconut seedlings are damaged by termites particularly in laterite soil.
Control measures
Adoption of field sanitation by disposal of organic matter in nursery soil and covering germinating nuts with a layer of river sand.
Drench the nursery with 0.05% chlorpyriphos twice at 20-25 days interval
Swab the affected trunk with the same chemical.

White Grub - (Leucopholis coneophora Burm.) (Melolonthinae: Coleoptera)

Symptoms
The white grubs are mostly found in sandy loam tracts of Kerala and Karnataka. It damage the roots. In seedling, it tunnels in to the bole and collar region.

It has an annual life cycle with a grub period of 8 months. Peak grub population is observed from Sept. to Oct. Adult beetles emerge out of the soil after pre-
monsoon showers in May-June during sunset hours.

5/26/23, 11:15 PM Coconut cultivation practices — Vikaspedia

Control measures

Plouging and digging of soil during pre and post monsoon period will expose the insect for predation.
Collection and destruction of the adult beetles during May-June.
Setting up light traps to attract adult beetles.
Application of phorate 10G @ 100g per palm should be mixed and raked in the top 15cm soil in May-June and Sept.-Oct. is recommended in coastal and
Malanad areas. Irrigation is necessary after the pesticide application.

Eriophid Mite of Coconut

Symptoms
The Eriophid Mite (Aceria guerreronis (Keifer) (Acarina: Eriophyidae) which was a minor pest of
coconut in India has become a major pest on coconut recently.

The attack of this mite was first recorded in 1965 in Guerrero, Mexico. Later it was reported from
Ivory cost, Brazil, Costa Rica etc. The first Indian report of this pest is from Ernakulam District of
Kerala during 1998. The sporadic occurrence of this pest is reported from almost all the 14 districts
of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Kalpeni Island of Lakshadweep.

The mites are very minute in size and are not visible by naked eye. The size of this measures to 200-250 microns in length and 20-30 microns in width. The life
cycle of this mite is completed in 10-12 days. It remains underneath the periyanth (cap) and cause injury by feeding on the soft paranchymatic tissues. Though the
mites are microscopic their damage is enormous and hundreds of mites could be seen in each infested button and tender
nut. Visible symptoms are brown discolouration noticed in patches of the husk. In case of severe attack the button sheds,
resulting in very poor setting percentage. In other cases the nuts are deformed and undersized with poor development of
kernel and husk.

The mites spread through wind and its multiplication is at a high rate. Though this pest was noticed only in a limited area
during 1998 it has become a major pest of coconut in India.

Control measures

Being a micro pest inhabiting under the periyanth, the control measures at field level are not easy. However by adopting the following integrated plant protection
measures the mite population could be reduced considerably.

Adoption of phytosanitary measures in coconut gardens such as cleaning the crown of the palm, keeping the plantation clean and burning of all immature
nuts fallen due to mite infestation.
Spraying biopesticides on the bunches
2% neem oil - garlic emulsion (20ml neem oil + 20g garlic + 5g bar soap in 1 litre water). Emulsion has to be prepared on the same day of
application itself.
Other neem based pesticides at 0.004% (Azadirachtin). If the pesticide formulation contains 1% Azadirachtin, 4ml has to be used in 1 litre water.
Wherever spraying is difficult root feeding may be resorted to with Azadirachtin 5% formulation (7.5ml+7.5ml water) or Azadirachtin 1% formulation
(10ml + 10ml water).

Spraying has to be done 3 times a year - December-February, April-June and September-October. While spraying, ensure that the spray fluid falls over
the perianth region especially on button and tender nuts. On an average 1-1.5 litre spray fluid is required per palm. Care should be taken to harvest
mature bunches before spraying.

Following palm health care practices also may be adopted.

Recycling of biomass generated within the coconut system by vermi compost method or by using lignin degrading fungus.
Raising of green manure crops in the coconut basins (like sunhemp, cowpea, calapagonium etc.) and incorporation into the soil in the basin itself,
these act as mulch during summer and slowly decompose and provide nutrients when incorporated to soil.
Application of recommended dosages of fertilizers, in two split doses, as per the package of practices prevailing in the respective states.
Recommended level of irrigation during summer months i.e. 250-500 litres of water per tree per week (based on evapotranspiration in the given
area) .
Soil moisture conservation by following methods.
Burial of coconut husk in the basin.
Mulching the basins (2m radius) with coconut leaves/green manure / green leaf manure
Mulching with coir pith wherever available (2m radius).

Diseases

Bud Rot

Symptoms

The earlier symptom is the yellowing of one or two younger leaves. Black spots appear on spindle leaves.
In the later stages the spindle withers and drops down.
The tender leaf base and soft tissues of the crown rot into a slimy mass of decayed material emitting foul smell.
Ultimately the entire crown falls down and the palm dies.

Control measures

5/26/23, 11:15 PM Coconut cultivation practices — Vikaspedia

Remove all affected tissue of the crown and apply Bordeaux paste on cut end and provide a protective covering till normal shoot
emerges (Dissolve 100 gm of copper sulphate and 100 gm of quick lime each in 500ml. water separately and mix to form 1 litre of
Bordeaux paste).
Spray 1% Bordeaux mixture on the crown of the neighbouring palms as a prophylatic measure.
Spray with 1% Bordeaux mixture during May and September if the disease occur frequently.
Cut and burn severely affected palms which cannot be saved.

Leaf Rot

Symptoms

Blackening and shriveling up of distal ends of the leaflets in the central spindle and younger leaves which later break off in bits.
Gradual weakening of the tree resulting in decline yield.

Control measures

Improve general condition of palms through proper manuring and management.

Remove the decayed portions of spindle leaf and upmost two leaves only.
Pour fungicide solution of Hexaconazol (Contaf 5E) - 2ml or Mancozeb (Dithane M45/Indifil M45) - 3g in 300ml water per palm to the base of spindle leaf.
Apply 20g Phorate 10G mixed with 200g fine sand around the base of spindle leaf.
2-3 rounds of spraying is sufficient in case of mild infection.

Stem Bleeding

Symptoms

Exudation of reddish brown liquid through cracks developing on the stem.

Decaying of tissues at bleeding point
Vigour and yield declining.
Development of big holes inside the trunk

Control measures

Chisel affected tissue and dress the wound with 5% Calixin (5ml in 100ml water). Apply coal tar after 2 days. Burn off chiselled pieces.
Avoid any mechanical injury to the stem.
To avoid spread of disease on to upper portion of trunk, root feeding with 5% calixin may be adopted 3 times a year - April-May, Spetember-October and
January-February.
Along with 50kg organic manure, apply 5kg neem cake containing the antagonistic fungi, Trichoderma culture to the basin during September.
Provide adequate irrigation during summer and drainage during rainy season.
Apply recommended doses of organic manures and chemical fertilizers.
Coconut stem boring insects like Xyleborus, Diocalandra should be controlled by applying Carbaryl 50% WP on the trunk @ 3g per litre water.

Root (wilt) Disease

5/26/23, 11:15 PM Coconut cultivation practices — Vikaspedia

Symptoms

Abnormal bending or ribbing of the leaflets, flaccidity of the leaves, general yellowing followed by marginal necrosis of the leaflets.
Abnormal shedding of buttons, reduced leaves and crown, gradual reduction in yield.

Control measures

Recommended control measures for leafrot disease as this disease gets superimposed on most of the root wilt affected palms.
Follow integrated nutrient management apply organic manure @ 50kg / palm / year. apply balanced dose of chemical fertilizers i.e. 500g Nitrogen (1.1kg
