Krishi Vigyan Kendra in Kochi has joined hands with National Bureau of Soil Survey and Land Use Planning, regional centre, Bengaluru; Central Plantation Crops Research Institute, Kasaragod and Indian Institute of Spices Research, Kozhikode, for a farmer-participatory research-cum-demonstration project on coconut at Mookkannur, Angalamy.
The project, funded by Kerala State Planning Board, is aimed at increasing coconut productivity in Kerala.
A press release from KVK said that coconut production in Tamil Nadu was 16,000 per hectare and in Karnataka it was 10,000 nuts.
But in Kerala productivity was 8,000 tonnes.
The major culprit in this is the poor soil condition in the State.
