Abstract
Coconut is full-grown in more than 80 countries of the world with a total construction of 49 billion nuts. India occupies a predominant position in respect of construction of coconut in the earth. Coconut is a crop of small and marginal farmers since 98% of about five million coconut holdings in the country are less than two hectares. Two major classes of coconuts are typically documented on the basis of stature: tall and dwarf. The ones most commonly planted for commercial purposes are the tall varieties, which are slow to mature and first flower appear six to ten years after planting. During rainy season inter culture be done to need out grass and make the soil more pores. Thus, better and scientific agronomic practices at local level will result in improving the yield and construction. Accordingly the high yielding varieties like Veppankulam and Mandya tall varieties be encouraged among the farmers. Water Scarcity has played a major role for low productivity.
