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.
