[sathya83]

I am Sathyaprasanna from theni district i am working as a SAS programmer in Ockham India company in chennai. I am basically from agricultural family we have nearly 1000 coconut trees and nearly 1500 mango trees in our village with full water facility.
Here i am posting this question to get the information about a high yield in coconut tree, because now in our farm we are getting too much low yield so now we r going to take a soil test also, except that please give me a suggestion to improve our coconut farm to get a high yield in that.

Thanks & Regards

Hello sir

what is the age of your coconut palms.And which variety have u planted.
The use of sodium chloride (NaCl) or common salt as fertilizer is a practical means of increasing coconut production. Salt is the cheapest and best source of chlorine to increase copra yield.
Application

Salt may be applied in three ways:
Broadcast (in flat to slightly sloping areas)
Broadcast followed by fork-in at 2-3 inches depth of soil (preferably when salt is combined with nitrogenous fertilizers)
Holing (for hilly-sloping areas distributed in 8-10 inches with 3-5 inches depth around the base of the tree).

In broadcast application, the fertilizer is placed uniformly over a weeded area around the base of the palm (1 m radius depending on the age of the palm).
Generally, bearing palms are fertilized annually in areas with almost uniform rainfall distribution.
