5 The coconut palm thrives on sandy soils and is highly tolerant of salinity.It prefers areas with abundant sunlight and regular rainfall (1,500–2,500 mm [59–98 in] annually)and daily temperature is above 12–13 °C (54–55 °F) for every day of the year.
6 The copra and coconut oil, widely used in the manufacture of soaps, hair oil, cosmetics and other industrial products.The tender nut supplies coconut water, a popular thirst quencher of health and hygienic value.

  • In loamy soils with low water table, a pit size of 1mx1mx1m is recommended.
  • In laterite soils with underlying rocks, take larger pits of size 1.2m x 1.2m x 1.2m.
  • In sandy soils the size need not exceed 0.75m x 0.75m x 0.75 m.
