Abstract

Stem bleeding disease of coconut was reported from India in 1922 by Sundaraman. Earlier Petch (1906) had reported the disease from Sri Lanka. Now the disease is known to occur in many coconut growing countries (Ohler, 1984).

Abstract

Identification of prepotent palms among the commonly grown tall cultivars helps in improving the yield substantially. The efforts made in selection of prepotent mother palms and identification at seedling stage is briefly reviewed. The merits and demerits of progeny testing are discussed and future lines of work are indicated.

Abstract

The relevance of the physiological arid biochemical investigations on coconut production has been amply proved. The physiological data on the seedling characters arid the equations developed for leaf area arid dry matter production proved to be valuable tools for application in the nursery selections. The experimental evidence provided by the biochemical studies opened up new vistas for utilising some of the biochemical markers related to the processes of growth arid yield in coconut palms. The rapid screening technique developed for drought tolerance offers a good scope for evaluating the germplasm collections. That the scientific management practices could substantially enhance the yield potential of root (wilt) diseased palms has been convincingly delineated.

Abstract

White coir fibre is extracted from coconut husks after 'retting' for a period varying between six to ten months depending upon several environmental factors. With a view to explore the possibility of reducing the prolonged period required for retting and improving the quality of the coir fibre a field study was conducted at Azhikode in the N. Parur regions of Kerala which is a 'poor'* retting area. Selected strains of efficient pectin and phenol degrading bacterial cultures were inoculated into pits containing lots of husks soaked for retting. Samples of husks were analysed at regular intervals for details of degradation of the husk constituents holding the individual fibres together. It was observed that inoculation of the bacterial strains could shorten the period of retting by two and a half months and yield an improved quality of fibre with respect to colour and texture. The detaiis of the experimental field study are presented in this paper.

Abstract

The paper deals with selected aspects of agricultural research on coconuts in the Philippines as follows : (a) a historical review; (2) agricultural research system; (3) scientific and technological advances and findings; and (4) future development oriented targets. Recognizing the need to support the development of the coconut industry under a sustainable and profitable coconut farming environ­ment, the R & D Thrusts of agricultural research centers on : 1) Varietal Improvement; 2) Cultural and Fertilizer Management (with emphasis on Integrated Soil Fertility Management; 3) Integrated Crop Protection; 4) Cadang‑cadang disease control; 5), Processing and Utilization of Coconut Wood; and 6) Technical Support Services and Advisory Development.

Abstract

It is presurned that the generic name, Cocos as well as the popular name coconut are derived from the spanish word ‘coco’ meaning ‘monkey face’ probably a reference to the three sears on the base of the shell resembling a monkey's face (Rosengarten, 1984). The origin of coconut was placed by Martius (1850) on the West Coast of Central America near the Isthmus of Panama. On the basis of evidences for the cultivation of coconut in Sri Lanka by about 300 BC. as well as the discovery of a fossil (Pliocene) Cocos in Newzealand (Hill, 1929) and in the deserts of Rajasthan (Kaul, 1951) the theory of Central American origin has been contested. Early spanish explorers discovered the cultivation of coconut on the Pacific.Coast of Panama in pre‑Columbian times. The first report of appearance of coconut in Western Mexico came around 1540 AD and it is believed to have spread to Mexico in the last decade of the 16th century (Bruman, 1945). It is presurned that coconut might have been carried to Mexico by ocean currents from Polynesia before the discovery of the New World (Purseglove, 1972). The available evidences point to the domestication of coconut in the Indo‑Pacific area (de Candolle, 1886; Beccari, 1917; Vavilov, 1951; Corner, 1966; Child, 1974). According to the most widely accepted theory, the origin of coconut is in the Old World, somewhere in Southeast Asia or the Pacific Islands from where it might have been transported to other regions either by man or by sea currents. Evidences are available in literature regarding the germination capacity of coconut even after floating in the sea for a period of 110 days and within this period it is capable of travelling up to 4,900 kilometers (Edmondson, 1941). It indicates the possibility of natural dissernination between the islands in the Pacific and Indian Oceans (Harries, 1978).

Abstract

A Lotus 123‑based system computer program was developed for fertilizer recommendation of local tall verieties and Dwarf x Tall hybrid coconuts using foliar analysis results. The computer program which is coded as PCA‑FERT. PRG. Version 1.0 utilized the average fertilizer recommendation formulated by Philippine Coconut Authority based on the Authority's 20 years; of research experience on the nutrition and fertilization of coconut in the country. As a first attempt towards the computerization of research outputs on coconut nutrition and fertilization, the program, should facilitate the faster assessment of existing coconut stands in terms of its nutritional status and fertilizer needs. The effective utilization of this program coupled with the researcher's knowledge and expertise on the use of foliar analysis results. will contribute much to the formulation of an accurate and reliable fertilizer recommendation.

Abstract

The importance of coconut stems primarily from its being an export crop. Coconut largely constitutes a crop of convenience in the basically agricultural, mainly subsistence, essentially rural‑based economy of Fiji. It provides a basic dietary component and a source of cash income to meet social responsibilities, and employment opportunities in the various areas in which it is grown. Indeed, after sugar, coconut oil is Fiji's second most important agricultural export.
WEED CONTROL UNDERSTORY WEED MANAGEMENT IN COCONUT LANDS L. V. K. LIYANAGE; M. DE. S. LIYANAGE

Abstract

Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) is by far the most extensively cultivated plantation crop in Sri Lanka. It is essentially a small holder crop comprising about 86% of small. holdings and homesteads and the balance belonging to the estate sector. The growth habit of the palm and its canopy structure requires a wide, spacing between palms, which permits abundant sunlight to the understory. As a result, the unutilised space beneath the plantation becomes invaded by a wide range of perennial and annual weed species. Such weeds invariably compete with coconut for soil moisture and nutrients, affecting its growth and yield and obstructing routine estate practices. Management of the understory weed growth is, therefore, considered an essential step in maintaining the plantation. In fact, the cost of weeding accounts for a substantial proportion of the total recurrent expenditure for maintenance.

Abstract

Coconut oil which forms about 4.9 per cent of the world production of oils and fats, assumes much importance among the common vegetable oils in the world. But the alleged atherogenicity of coconut oibdue to its highly saturated nature hinders coconut oil from having a top position in the world market as an edible oil. The recent classification of oils based on the chain length of fatty auds, as MCT and LCT, reveals the neutral effect of coconut oil, which is also supprted by epidemiological observations. Here the possibilities of labelling cocbout oil as an energy giving non‑fattening edible oil is discussed, to dispel the prevailing misconceptions.
