Harvesting
-Twelve months old nuts are harvested at the interval of 30-45 days for seed as well as copra making and culinary purposes.
- For household use keep the nuts in vertical direction. However, for tender nut purposes 7 to 8 months old nuts are harvested. The nuts can be harvested using coconut climbers.
-Nuts which are 11 months old give fiber of good quality. This is suitable for coir fiber.
-In case of tall the nuts harvested for seed purpose can be stored for 2 to 3 months period before sowing, whereas in case of dwarfs and hybrids, nuts should be sown with in a period of 10 –15 days of harvest.
-On an average, we can have eight harvests, though the coconut palm produces inflorescence every month.
