Abstract

The management practices recommended to increase coconut production in smallholdings are largely based on a seed‑fertilizer­agrocide technology. The goal is to maximise production. HigI yielding varieties that need high inputs and management lavel, have been introduced. Application of chemical fertilizers pesticides and weedicides are advocated. The smallholders with limited funds at their disposal and faced with other constraints are unable to purchase the inputs. Thus an inappropriate tech­nology is being passed on to them.
DROUGHT MANAGEMENT OF COCONUT HOLDINGS Dr. D. V. Liyanage

Abstract

Prolonged droughts retard growth of coconut palms and reduce production. Current systems of chemical farming in coconut holdings do not mitigate adverse drought effects on palms. They should be replaced with bio‑farming techniques, which will result in improvement of structure, water holding capacity and fertility of the soil, thereby delaying onset of soil moisture stress during dry seasons. With the drought management practices based on mulching bio-farming, soil nutrients are released gradually so that coconut production is sustained at a high level without much fluctuations through‑out the years. Further, that technology is simple and large investments are not necessary, particularly application of the Coconut/Gliricidia model. Cost of production of coconuts is reduced with bio‑farming.

Abstract

A project for coconut development in Indonesia was initiated in 1972 with assistance from UNDP/FAO and Research Institute for Industrial Crops (LPTI), Bogor as the Counter‑part Agency. Emphasis of research was on breeding and agronomy. Production of KHINA series of coconut varieties was an accomplishment of breeders attached to the project. They were D. V. Liyanage, H. Luntungan, A. Djisbar and T. Mankey. In the initial stages, particularly during germplasm surveys, Ch. P. Corputty and H. Sudasrip were associated. Research on breeding included coconut germplasm surveys in Indonesia, hybridization of selected palms within selected populations and testing progenies. That involved considerable travelling, labour, patience and a barrage of criticism. The agony and joy, breeders experienced in production of KHINA series of coconut varieties are outlined in this paper.
