Item Performance of Coconut Cultivar Benaulim in Goa—A Case Study(2007-02) Mandal, R.C.; Metha, G.M.Benaulim, a local tall coconut cultivar of Goa is potentially a high yielder, but the productivity of coconut in Goa, in gene/al, is low, because of lack of irrigation, non-application of fertilizers and very close spacing. In a well-managed formers field, the variability in yield of individual palms was recorded, based on the previous thirteen years production performance. The response to fertilizers and beneficial use of irrigation for increasing yield has been observed, and the economics of coconut cultivation worked out.
