As a result of the prolonged gestation period of coconut, there is need to make selection for coconut improvement with the vegetative traits at pre-flowering stage. Therefore, the objective of this study was to evaluate the contributions of vegetative traits to components of yield in coconut. Coconut palm accessions of the tall type collected from...

... data were further subjected to a correlation analysis using SPSS statistical software after which path coefficient analysis was generated using the procedure described by Streiner (2005), Xue (2007), Williams (2015) and Madeni et al. (2017). In the path analysis, fruit weight was the dependent variable while the vegetative traits were the predictor variables ( Figure 1). The total correlations between fruit weight and vegetative traits were partitioned into direct and indirect effects by the equations below: ...

An experiment to evaluate the coconut hybrids for tender nut was conducted at Coconut Research Station, Aliyar nagar during 2017-18. Seven cross combinations along with eight parents were studied. The nuts were harvested at tender nut stage and the quantitative traits like nut weight, volume of nut water and qualitative traits viz., pH, TSS, Total...
A field experiment was conducted during 2006-2009, on 29 years old East Coast Tall (ECT) coconut palms at Coconut Research Station, Veppankulam to explore the possibility of nitrogen substitution through organic manure. It was aimed to substitute 50 per cent of recommended nitrogen through organic manure. There were five treatments viz., T1 - Absol...
Long term experiments (2013-14 to 2018-19) were conducted in Regional Coconut Research Station, Bhatye, a representative location of major coconut growing region of Maharashtra (Konkan region) to study the impact of changing weather parameters on growth and yield of 32 years old coconut plants (dwarf x tall, i.e., COD x WCT). Regression based trend...
Coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) is one of the plantation crops with more life span, so suitability of a variety or hybrid for particular region may improve the productivity of the coconut. An experiment was carried out with seven hybrids and two varieties viz. Chandra Sankara (COD × WCT), Chandra Laksha (LCT x COD), VHC1 (ECT × MGD), VHC-2 (ECT × MYD),...
Coconut water (CW) is a popular and healthful beverage, and ensuring its quality is crucial for consumer satisfaction. This study aimed to explore the potential of near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and chemometric methods for analyzing CW quality and distinguishing samples based on postharvest storage time, cultivar, and maturity. CW from nuts of W...
