Coconut is planted as twin rows, at 7 m x 7 m triangular, alternate with the alley at a width of 18 m.For permanent integration of cocnut with other suitable entreprises, the hedge planting design is recommended.Advanced planting materials are used as in-filling of vacant points but should be nursed in large polubags to avoid severe transplanting shock.The recommended stage for field planting is at 4-6 months old.Seedlings selected should be true-to-type.The shell and husk are good raw materials for charcoal (activated carbon) and for cocopeat and fibre respectively.The produce is versatile as it can be used as fresh drinking coconut at tender flesh forming stage or at maturity, the latter as raw material for santan, desiccated coconut and other industrial uses. ![]()
