Production of polybag seedlings in coconut

摘要

In coconut, which is a perennial plantation crop, production and use of good quality seedlings have greater importance. Conventionally coconut seedlings are raised in a nursery prior to field planting as proper care and maintenance of a seedbed facilitates the selection of early germinating vigorous seedlings. Seedling vigour is correlated with adult palm characteristics such as early flowering, high nut and copra yield.
