The weight of the fruit (un-husked nut), weight and thickness of the husk, weight and percentage of the fibre in the husk, and fibre characters like specific gravity, diameter and the length : diameter ratio of the ultimate fibre cells were found to vary significantly between varieties and according to the period of maturity. Nut weight and husk weight are highly correlated with fibre content. 'strait?.... Settlements Green', 'Kappadam', 'Tall XDwarf' jer outturn of both copra and fibre.

Out of the six weedicides—IPG, EPC, 2, 4-dinitrophenol, EFT AM, Dalapon and Iso-Cornox—tried in 1962, only Dalapon was found to be effective. This chemical at the concentration of 5 kg. per hectare gave 86 per cent mortality of the weed, and at high concentration of 20 kg. per hectare it gave complete mortality.
