    Husk Burial for the Improvement of Coconut Gardens
    (1957) Krishna Marar, M.M.; Kunhiraman, C.A.
    The feasibility of husk burial for the improvement of coconut plantations has been discussed in its various aspects in the light of experimental results available. The following is a summary: (1) Husk burial in coconut plantations under dry system of cultivation has been found to increase the yield of the coconut palms. The improvement resulting from one operation will last for about 6 years. (2) Where the soil is deficient in the important plant nutrients, husk burial may have to be supplemented with the application of nitrogenous and phosphatic fertilizers also if maximum benefit is to be obtained. (3) Trenches for burying husks need be only about 15 deep. The advantages of the use of deeper trenches are not commensurate with the .extra expense involved. (4) A few questions for which the information already available does not provide answers have been indicated. (5) The need to give proper consideration to certain aspects in husk burial has been stressed. (6) Detailed directions for burying husks are given.
