Abstract
A comparative study was made of the performance of open-pollinated progency of West Coast Tall (WCT), and its hybrids with Chowghat Dwarf Orange (CDO) and Gangabondam (GB) planted in laterite soil and maintained under rainfed conditions with the usual recommended dose of fertilisers. The superiority of the hybrids over WCT, and among the hybrids, the superiority of CDOxWCT over the reciprocal hybrids WCT x CDO and WCTxGB m yield of nuts, copra and oil out-turn was observed. The study has also shown that CDOxWCT hybrids wilt he more suitable and will have to be preferred to the order two hybrids and the local WCT to increase coconut production under the laterite soil conditions in the country.
